The amount of high quality artist supplies is very impressive. The price for these goods are quite steep, but the variety and quality more than make up for it.

Handmade papers are fantastic!

Absolutely loved the place. Especially the great selection of papers, including the fancy Asian ones!❤ Wish there was a store like this in Milwaukee!

Great place! Lots of fun art supplies for playing when you get home. Interesting Warren feeling in the set up, while still being open and well lit. The staff were amazingly helpful and friendly to this confused old biddy.

It was Cool had some neat stuff. Had what I was looking for.

People here are Incredibly helpful! I brought my grandson, who is developing his artistic character, here to choose some items for his birthday present. We were welcomed and graciously assisted.I would have been lost here otherwise. It seems to be a great place for new artists and experienced artists as well.They have Excellent buttons and magnets too : )

Always friendly very helpful staff, best place for art supplies in MadisonThe Artist

This place is like a secret treasure cave for artists! I love roaming around and finding new art supplies, and the staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Amazing place for any aspiring artist, craft lover, or creative type to spend an afternoon!

They need more scrapbooking things, but overall a really cool store with lots of supplies. Ill probably be back

Great selection, great service.

Great variety of art supplies and awesome value

I live this store. They have good depth if merchandise covering all areas of art. The graphic pens area is a strong point. Friendly staff willing to answer your questions. Check out the art hanging on the walls as you go down the stairs to the store.

Great store. The store itself is in the basement, but you dont notice the lack of natural light because the merchandise and art is entertaining enough. Helpful staff. Show your wiscard for a discount.

Super friendly helpful staff.....great selection...a great art supply store! I will go back next time Im in town.

Great prices on high quality art supplies

The staff is super helpful and they always have what Im looking for!

ALWAYS excellent service and selection. The staff thoroughly know their products and are real professionals.

Super helpful people when you ask, they dont try to upsell you if they dont think you need it either.

Its a pretty relaxed place FULL of art supplies, Ive only been there once but Ill definitely be back!!

The staff was super friendly and asked if I needed help finding anything. Also had a huge variety of items for any project you could come up with! And the best part being they offer a student discount! Definitely will be returning in the future.

Unique supplies. Nice employees.

Dope place to get all your artist needs!

Love this place and the people who work there!

Busy store. It is down steps so not handicapped accessible. Had almost everything we were looking for. Lots of variety. Found parking on a nearby side street.

Great selection found tools I didnt know I needed

An expansive basement selection with very helpful employees. Overall a chill vibe

The staff is amazing. Cant beat the location for downtown residences and they have really good prices and supplies.

This is a go to store for anything specialty art related. They have every paint/pastel/marker you could want, plenty of different paper mediums, easels with canvas, etc. Hands down the only place in town I go when I need to stock up.

This place is awesome. I could spend an absolutely dangerous amount of time (and money!) In this place. Has everything you could ever want for most kinds of art, nice and helpful staff, and is just a really charming place to stop. Definitely one of my favorite art supply stores.

This place is absolutely charming! The one downside for me was that they lacked many fiber arts supplies, but for a 2D artist this place seems to have everything you could ask for.

Wonderful art store! Always has what I need and lots of other stuff to explore! I buy something from them at least once a month.

Best place in Madison to get the supplies you need when you need it. Andy V, Max, and Camille continously answer my bothersome questions about where things are in the store when Im on the move! Jason is the man for getting special order items in stock if you need them. Also, a great group of experienced and knowledgeable artists who truly know the quality and expectations of their products!

Local craft supply store has a great deal of stuff for projects. Glues of all types and papers from all over for paint of several types.

Amazing vibes and HUGE selection

This is my go-to local art supply store. Weve never been disappointed with price or selection.

Super art supply store. Friendly and helpful staff. Great music playing. Place is big and packed with magic goodies everywhere, wish they had seating to take a rest and absorb everything. Good prices and sales, will make this a must stop when we are in town.

I work downtown, and I love to come here for my art supplies. The prices are pretty good, and they have everything youll need for your projects. I would say I wish they carried erasers for mechanical pencils.

A large selection of art and hobby supplies. A lot of supplies I havent ever seen at the usual art and hobby stores. Very friendly staff.

Incredible range of artist supplies. Helpful and knowledgeable staff. A paradise for young artists

I ordered a gorgeous art desk to their store that had came a bit mangled in the mail.. they fixed the problem in a timely, respectful, sympathetic manner! Ive never been so pleased with customer service. Because of all the inconvenience they gave me a $20 gift card! At first I felt like it was a bit of a cursed situation.. but now I feel blessed, excited, and more creative than ever! This is my favorite art store in Madison by far.

Awesome hours! Artists need supplies at unusual hours. They are there for every artistic emergency with great advice!

The staff is great and the supplies is awesome! Also the prices are excellent! I would recommend this to the artist and to the common folk. There is something for everyone!

Super helpful, great service. Just need to get open stock Faber Castell Polychromos and Caran dache luminance!

Really interesting basement store. Had an amazing selection and an inspiring hipster vibe. The staff was very kind. I enjoyed that they didnt bother me too much while I was looking around.

My friend and I had to buy supplies for an introductory drawing class and had no idea what we were doing. We received excellent help, and encouragement along the way too. Highly recommend.

Ive gone to this store for the last few years for this and that, and theyve always had what Ive needed for a fair price - and the student discount is usually good enough to knock a few bucks off which is always nice.My only complaint is that organization is difficult to understand and can take a while to find exactly what youre looking for. The employees know where things are though and theyve always been knowledgeable, so thats not the end of the world!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Kinda lost when Im in there due to not being much of an artist. But they do have epoxy resin in stock.

Like a hidden speak easy. This place is super cool with tons of quality art supplies!

Do you love to explore colorful visual art stuff? then this is the place. look no further.

Wide array of products, nice people, love buying my watercolor paper from here. Always make sure to stop by when Im in Madison.

Id walk right by it if I hadnt been shown where this gem is. Wonderful store with helpful staff.

The employees here are almost always incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, and quick to offer up discounts if you qualify. And its underground, so it feels like youre entering a batcave full of colorful toys.

Whoever would deign to describe the employees of this awesome shop as condescending, clearly has never been truly condescended to...or perhaps, lives in a sort of gilded, vainglorious reality where their own ego is serviced with the vigor normally associated with an overprotective mother. Staff is knowledgeable, friendly and patient. Id rather deal with the hassle of downtown parking JUST to talk to these folks, as opposed to some craft-hawking clerk at Hobby Lobby.

Great service and advice! Plus they support artists with disabilities.

Great deals. Friendly and helpful staff

A wide selection of quality materials (and some cheaper stuff if youre not worried about quality). The staff is fairly knowledgeable. Ive always Artist and Craftsman to the University Bookstore. Also students (not just UW students) get a discount, which is very nice.

Love love loved it. The staff were AWESOME and very HELPFUL and FRIENDLY! I drove from Missouri to visit the shop!

Great selection, helpful staff, good prices... will be back!

Handy location, but often either out-of-stock on what I need or dont carry the brand or item Im looking for.

This place has everything. Wonderful selection!

They have everything i need. When i dont, they get it. Its awesome. Fun staff.

Awesome selection at this basement level store. I go for paper and writing/drawing supplies and implements. Knowledgeable and friendly staff thrown in for good measure. :)

Always a pleasure to shop here, best art supplies in town, and staff is always willing to answer any questions they can.

Cool funky vibes and a 10% student or teacher discount

Love these guys. Wide variety of art supplies. Very nice people.

Awesome place. A real art store with professional art supplies. No crafty junk sitting around like other stores.

Best art supply store. Friendly and helpful, huge selection

Great selection of quality spray paint and street art accessories.

You can find anything you need here

Everything you could want or need. Amazing staff that are always going above and beyond to help everyone. Great location and vibe as well.

Always a pleasure...lots of stuff...nice clerks...inspiring. you see a big canvas or something and you want to fill it.

A hidden gem. The best arts store, by far, in Madison. Great products, cool staff, awesome inspiration, and fairly priced. Its like a candy store for me.

The only art store I go to in Madison! They have a great selection and deals, and are always really nice.

Nice selection of supplies that seems to grow as they include more brands a mediums. Staff is nice and knowledgeable and dont pester you while youre looking.

Very helpful staff if you need it. Okay selection of brands. Well priced. Limited frame options.

Really nice staff!! If I had a couple hours to pick through the store Im sure id find plenty of gems!! Looks like they might need a larger location! 😂

Great to have this resource in downtown Madison. Excellent selection, very helpful staff, and good prices.

Love this store and could spend hours here. Great selection!

Explore this place! Everything you need + knowledgeable staff + cool space. Find the sign on Gorham, walk down the steps, and have fun!

Love love this place. First timer and wow did they have so much great art supplies. Could habe spent hours looking around. The ppl there are awesome too.

Love this place! Good products and wide variety.

Best place in town for arts and craft supplys

Anything and everything artsy and craftsy. Worth a look around just to see all the pretty colors and fancy tools.

This is the best place for art, every. Nook and cranny has something to offer, something special.

Great selection of pens, artist markers, paint, sketch books, paper, canvas and even some Lotka papers. I could spend a large part of my day here.

The staff is extremely knowledge and understanding when helping customers find specific items, even when their not 100% sure what that is.

Service seems good, tho I didnt need it. Selection is incredible!

Good to have student and teacher discount. Kind and nice.

I decided to stop by after work to pick up some art supplies. I wanted to do something crafty like I used to as a kid - even though Im not very knowledgeable or skilled about anything artsy. I arrived excited and left on the verge of tears. My admittedly simplistic questions (again, I know very little) were met with snide remarks and a bad attitude - as if I were a complete idiot. I cant remember the last time I felt so belittled by another person. Needless to say I didnt buy anything, and wont be back anytime soon. Maybe if youre a regular in the art world this is the place for you, but if youre a beginner with questions steer clear.

Had what I needed and it wasncheaper then Amazon prime great art store

Love the canvas cheap crayola witch works for cartooning. And love the friendly faces and staff and coworkers always please to see them 😀

Huge selection of art supplies not found in most stores. Carving, calligraphy, acrylic spray paint, Prismacolor, Copic, screen printing... pretty much everything other than fiber arts.

Everything you need and things you didnt know you need but wanted.

Definitely one of the best art supply stores in Madison. High quality merchandise

Friendly staff and a good selection. As far as I can tell the only way to beat their prices (on origami paper anyway) is to buy online and commit to a large order

Great little place for specific supplies.

All the supplies you can possibly need at reasonable cost. I could get lost in there... what am I saying? I have gotten lost in there.

They have everything you need there and the customer service was great.

Best place for art supplies in town

Has just about everything you need as an artist. Not great parking but worth it.
