The nicest people on the planet AND amazing selection of all sorts of art supplies you could ask for. And more!

Such amazing finds! Got some supplies for class really easily, the owners are super kind.

They have every supply you need to start your next art project. Very LGBTQ+ friendly. Fun place to shop!

I went there to buy drafting supplies. Everything I bought was incredibly overpriced and turned out to be very poor quality as well.

Best real artist supply store around! Always OUTSTANDING customer service! If you are an artist check it out you wont be disappointed!

Went there with my art club and the lady that worked there was so nice and didnt make it awkward at all when I bought pride stuff. She was very bubbly and nice

Love the art coop!Amazing, fun goods and friendly service.

Absolutely my favorite store out there. They have the highest quality art supplies out there that you can buy in person. The ultra thin art pen I bought from there a year or two ago is absolutely the lifeblood of me and was completely worth the price. Plus the novelty items are fun to longingly look at as well. The top notch postcards, the un-ending amount of pride supplies, the gorgeous little notebooks that I buy and never use because they are too pretty to use, etc. etc., I could ramble for years.

Amazing staff and theyre being super careful because of the pandemic, they have amazing art supplies inside and definitely one of my favorite stores

Best place on earth man

Awesome place for paper, pads, canvases, and pens. Near the front is novelty gifts but also great office supplies. They tend rotate stock for office items and have a pretty good selection.Way faster than getting online, is picking up at the store, and prices are good. Sometimes they much cheaper. Others they are just a few extra bucks, I just consider that the convenience of having a store like this.

Great products. friendly and knowledgeable staff. 10/10 will shop again.

Great supply of oil, acrylic and water color paints, brushes and paint palette knives I have not found elsewhere. Plus they have some cool geek collectables for Doctor Who fans and other cool trendy knick nacks.

At one time they had funny greeting cards. No now!

A bit of local color in an old landmark. They have an awesome collection of mixed media supplies & art gifts. This is a great place for DIY enthusiasts looking for special papers for lampshades & other projects. It’s always fun to stop in & browse.

They have an awesome selection of puzzles & of course, art supplies!

Very pretty art supply store. They have plenty of items to choose from. The workers even knew about some of the supplies required by professors at UIUC, which I thought was nice.

Such a cool art shop!

One of the cutest art stores around with a lot of beautiful gifts. Cant wait to shop here again.

Thea best place to buy art supplies. Prices are good, not inflated to make up for coupons like the big box craft stores. They make kits for Parkland and UI that are discounted further and exactly what supplies your instructors want. Staff knows what they’re talking about and is good at making helpful suggestions. Anna will special order whatever you need if you are having problems finding something.

Huge selection of anything you could possibly need. The staff is very helpful, attentive and kind.They work with the Parkland college art instructors to bundle all items needed for their courses.Ive gone in a few times with a list from my daughter and they are always happy to take the list and gather the items for me. This is a life saver!

This place is a must for all artists and has been a staple in this town for several decades! Its exciting to know its under new ownership and will be around for quite sometime. Thanks for keeping it alive, ladies! Much love!

This is a great non-corporate shop to buy arts and crafts materials. They have a wide selection of paints, papers, and pens.The people at the shop are extremely friendly and helpful.

They have lots of cool stuff, but the staff arent particularly helpful or nice.

The only real art supply store in the area. Selling quality supplies and a fantastic paper selection. Locally owned and operated by quality folks. Whats not to love?

I setup a reservation with my girlfriend, as well as my brother and his wife back in December if Im not mistaken. Maybe November, either way. I meant to write a review more closely to the date following the paint party that I attended with my group. The vibe was very laid back, the staff were instrumental in ensuring that you learned the techniques for painting a masterpiece, but also giving you some leeway to work at your pace and be a little creative. Ill definitely be back with my group.

Very detailed well stocked items not found in some stores.

Great selection and the staff are always so helpful and give great recommendations!

A great friendly environment and the owners and staff are very helpful. A pleasant experience

Art Coop is the best place to get art supplies locally. Always super friendly and helpful too.

Huge selection, and the staff is always willing to help out with any questions you have.

Awesome art supplies. Great place for gifts for art lovers.

The staff is very helpful and kind. They helped me find everything I had on a list I needed for a class. They were very patient too. The store has all the supplies an artist could ever want and more. A very amazing local store that Ill keep supporting.

Real art store with a little bit of everything. Dark interior doesnt best serve for shopping but the odd things found only in a serious and dedicated art store are the draw.

A bit pricey, but a great selection.

Pretty much a specialty store, this place has pretty much everything you need for art. Love it!

Awesome store with a lot of great supplies, friendly staff, and has lot of cools things that make great gifts

Pretty cool place. A little high on some prices.

Fantastic spot for all of your art needs, plus some great eclectic cards and gifts.

Art Coop rules! They have tons of things for everyone, artist or not — gifts and small toys and home decor in addition to art supplies at all price points. I also like that when I take my five-year-old in, the staff talks to her like they would talk to an adult customer!

Relaxed place to explore i always find something i cant live without

A nice art store to find specific art materials, but they dont have very good customer service.

This place has some really neat stuff. They have so many art supplies to choose from, there are endless options on type of paints, color pencils, etc. If you are in to art stuff you will want to go there.

One of my favorite places for years to get art supplies I enjoyed the staff that works there

A real art supplies store with great cards and some silly gifts. It looks a little run down from the outside but dont let that stop you from shopping at this gem.

Best place for art supplies and specialty items.

Great staff, very knowledgeable. Always a pleasant visit. Check out the gallery.

The staff were helpful and friendly. Great location too!

Nice store and friendly staff.

The items they have might be a bit overpriced but overall they have almost everything an artist needs. The staff is friendly and cooperative too.

An oddball boutique and great place to find gifts for your... eccentric...friends and family.

Went to see the gallery, loved it! This is the best store ever!

They have nice little postcards!

They are a bit pricey, but have the best art supplies!

Fantastic place to buy art supplies and fun gifts!

They have everything you need for whatever your art/design projects requires. Staff is knowledgeable about their inventory, where to finds things, etc...

Not really understanding the point of this place

Great, friendly place to get art supplies, including fountain pens

Helpful staff, always attentive!

Non-fat reason for visiting: have excellent small paintbrushes for use in assisting tissue sectioning on the cryostat.
