The owner/manager of the store is the best. He is always so helpful from the moment you walk in the door and not in an annoying way. His sense of humor and personality always makes me laugh and giggle when I listen to him as I’m browsing around. Very personable. This store is the furthest from me then all the other art supply stores in San Antonio but the customer service is worth it. I’ll definitely keep going there first before anywhere else.
Extensive selection of canvas of all sizes and even larger inventory of brushes. The layout of the store is easy to navigate and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. You are among fellow artist here 🎨🖌
High quality art supplies great places. Shop local!
I used to shop at Hobby Lobby and Michaels but at Asel art I feel at home! They have so much to choose from. As a painter, they have everything and more that suits my needs! The staff is very friendly and helpful, also the prices are better than some of the stuff at other places I have shopped at. This is my go to place and I couldnt be happier! Definitely worth stopping by for your next art project!
Had exactly what I needed for mica powders.
Great prices and good selection.
The staff was very helpful. They took the time to answer all of our questions. They have a large selection of art supplies. They are very knowledgeable. They were very professional and have excellent customer service.
Wide variety of art supplies and very helpful staff. Great specials too!
So happy I found this place! So many good quality art supplies and really good prices.
Amazing customer service! An artist dream store! Doing all my shopping here
Awesome art store with everything you need. John is such a sweet, kind person able to help you find anything. Will recommend to everyone I know!
Found what I needed when no one else in town had it! With exceptional pricing. Very customer service friendly and knowledgeable.
Staff is very helpful and informative. My artistic children enjoy going whenever they can. Learn something every visit.
Ive been visiting this shop off and on for close to a decade for gifts for my sister, and recently to start my own inventory. They have always had spot on customer service and fantastic deals that were always helpful for a student wanting quality products. The staff are willing to go out of their way to make sure youre getting exactly what you nee, with my most recent experience involving them mixing colors to make sure I was getting the right shades for my project.I would give 20 stars of possible.
Friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff. I always end up buying more than I originally planned
They have everything I needed and much more. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. This is my go-to place for my drafting needs . . .
They had a lot of stuff I was looking for I Rate it 5 star and very nice employees 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The Asel Location:8127 Callaghan San Antonio Texas 78220Was amazing! The staff was so friendly and very happy! I had a great experience even though I am taking art for non-majors! They helped me out a great deal when they found out I got my art supplies stolen. They helped me find alternative supplies for lower prices and made me feel better!LOVE THEM
It amazes me how such a small store has whatever art supply I need. Yesterday I had a lovely selection of block inks to choose from. Today I wanted a silk screen kit, and they did not disappoint. Always great personal service there too. So blessed to have them in the neighborhood!
Asel Art Supply Store At San Antonio The Best Slections & Good Staff & Store And Over All A Good A+ So Next Time You Want To Paint Draw Stop In At Asel Art Supply Store Today And Enjoy It Today
They are clearly geared for students, and the prices reflect that assumption. However, they are pretty easy going about the student discount, so be sure to mention if you are a struggling independent artist. I love their variety of ink, pen and drawing utensils and especially that they are sold individually. I come here for the perfect pen when I need a specific job done. The paints are expensive but the brands are well chosen and sold individually by tube, same with brushes and ink supplies. The large canvases are well stocked and the dimensions arent just square and 5:3 rectangles, but some more interesting ones as well.I love coming here, but can never get more than a couple items with my budget. If you need standard things, go to the craft store with their weekly coupon. Come here knowing what you need in specific or high quality supplies. Unless you have $$, in which case have a blast!!
Small place but a great selection, good prices and a nice, friendly, knowledgeable staff.
I took my son by today to pick up his first sketch pad and pencils. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the gentleman’s name that helped up but he was a ball of energy. That made the visit so much fun and would highly recommend this store over any others in San Antonio.Keep up the great work!
Asel has excellent quality art supplies and friendly service.
Super friendly staff, just THE MOST AMAZING PEOPLE. These employees and the owner are truly passionate about what theyre doing. Helped us out big time and even showed us demonstrations on some great art supplies.This is one of the most amazing art supply stores in the city (if not the entire state). Definitely go here!!!
The selection was amazing and so were the prices, not to mention the great customer service! The man who helped me was sooo amazing! Once he found out I teach painting classes, he showed me every type of paint possible that could be used, thoroughly explained the differences between the brands, and even gave me a free tube of paint as a sample! I can not express how much I enjoyed my experience here and the knowledgeable artist.
Best art supplies in town. Not for crafts so much...they cater to artists. Manager John is an encyclopedia of artists materials and techniques, and his staff always offers friendly and savvy service.
Nice place for arts supplies. They carry various art pens, art supplies, canvas paints etc. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Great store.
Went there for the first time today and to be honest I will never go anywhere else. This place has everything and the guy John is awesome. He has back story and history so your not just shopping. Love love love this store.
Top notch service from John the manager! Friendly and helpful from the moment you walk in until the moment you leave.
I love this store, theyre always super nice and the prices are amazing, theyre always willing to help if you have questions. Definitely recommend it for students.
Excellent resource store for serious artists. The canvas and paint variety is very large.
Gosh I wish I remember the name of the nice gentleman who helped me out.But he was so nice and helpful recommended me some brushed and I love them!
Been going for many years. Always great friendly knowledgeable staff. Fair prices good selection. What more could you want
Staff is super passionate about your projects and have great knowledge of the item they supply in store.
I almost lost myself in this store. Im all about supporting local business as apposed to the big corporate stores. Had everything an artist could need or want. In fact, I walked in for one thing and walked out with about 10. Friendly staff and though the prices are a bit higher than a super store, it was well worth it.
I love this store. The selection, service, and advice are awesome. I always have questions and theyre very knowledgeable. The women there are amazing. Beautiful, creative, informative, and talented. Thank you asel art supply
We went in and were immediately greeted and helped. Received individual attention from the manager for almost an hour, helping us find the right pencils we needed. Im floored with how cool the staff was, and the selection was just what we needed. Go here if you have any need for any writing/drawing/painting/engineer drafting materials. Coming from a mostly-online shopper, Im coming back here instead.
Five stars. Friendly + helpful staff (!), excellent selection, fantastic prices that are even better than big online stores. The only local place I will shop at for art supplies - very laid-back atmosphere, they encourage you to try before you buy. Who could ask for more?
Customer service was great. Went in with a list for my son and one of the guys that worked there just asked for our list to help us find everything. Art supplies are expensive in general.. But I would go back if we needed anything else.
This is the only place to get art supplies!!! Dont go to the big chain supply places, you know the big two! This is a real art shop with.... ARTISTS WORKING THERE!!! These people know how all of the things they sell can be used and will give you pointers and ideas and help you find the right stuff you need! Support this place, this is what a real American business looks like people!
I went last year and the staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. Id like to go back for a few new materials but not sure if thats possible with this current city shutdown.
Great variety of art supplies for all kinds of artwork for all kinds of artists. One hundred different types of paint brushes.🎨🖌️✨🖼️👀👍✨
Guy working there was super awesome and friendly.Would recommend for all art needs.
Great place. Good prices. A large selection of individual art supplies. Really love the employees
It has a nice degree of variety my mother enjoyed purchasing supplies here some are a bit pricy but many things are affordable but it depends on what you are looking for
Folks working here are super! The girl that helped us was cool about recognizing us as a scout troop and made the boys think it was cool.The drafting supplies are just the essentials but a fair assortment.Rest of the shop was clean, well organized and looked like it had everything else you could want from an art shop.
This store has a nice selection of Procion MX dyes. When Im on a deadline for a tie dye project, its nice to have a local source thats close to where I live.
I got some nice pins and a sketchbook from there. it seems family run, but its a great place to get some cheap, nice art supplies!
Always informative always friendly, great atmosphere great prices!
Love this place. People are very helpful. Great deals!

There are some supplies one can get at asels that you cant get at big hobby stores, and the staff is always knowledgeable, helpful and can make you good deals.

Great Art Shop for artists on the northside! Friendly staff (mostly students and artists) and wide selection. They have great sales and will order something if its not in stock.
My favorite place
Always a pleasure when I visit this Asels location
Dee at the main Street shop is amazing!! Ive bought multiple canvases, stretching boards...and she is always helpful and encouraging!
Every time I arrive, Im greeted by a warm welcome. Sales associates are 99% of the time helpful, with the 1% being common mistakes that everybody has.
Very helpful staff :>
Went out of their way to help me out when a product was out of stock, incredibly nice and knowledgeable!
The staff at ASEL are so helpful. Im an architecture student and they have just about all the supplies I need

The staff at Asel Art on Callaghan were very, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and honest. They voluntarily take the time to provide you with extra information to help you expand your art horizons.
They are incredibly friendly and helpful, and spent time demonstrating different products for my kids on their first trip to a real art supply store.
They were very friendly and helpful!!
Its a decent place. Can seem a little over priced.
Great prices and helpful staff!
The only art store I ever go to in San Antonio now! Ansel is well stocked and the owner is knowledgeable and personable!
For all good reasons
Lots of professional tools and media. One of my favorite places to stock up on supplies.
Quirky, and super helpful, friendly staff! A perfect fit!
Great place for anything art!
Super! Helpful and selection
Great place for art students and mostly good for UTSA students.
Stoped in with a friend. They are friendly and seem ro know their stuff.
Drove from Boerne and got there at 4:45. The sign says they close at 5. The stoners that work there wouldnt let us in. I guess its standard protocol to close before the hours at this store.
