A pretend artist (shhhh don't tell anyone I'm a fake), I love going into art/craft stores to see what my crafty senses can come up with. This is a nice change from Michael's as it's not cookie cutter type of store.
2 levels with the 2nd floor mainly dealing with paints, fine arts, frames etc supplies and the first floor with fancy paper type of supplies you will definitely get inspired. I found both floors to be kind of crowded but since it wasn't busy when I went it was ok. There is also a register on the 2nd floor so you don't have to go downstairs and wait in line.
The staff are really friendly and will make suggestions if you need some help or inspiration. The prices are decent but I didn't see much sales. Some of the stock is what you could find at other box stores but there are a lot of unique items that are catered to the artiste.
