This warehouse-style store has an impressive selection of materials from canvases to paints, to draft tables, and much more.  Artist & Craftsman Supply employees know what you’re talking about, and are very willing to help you dig through the mass of options to find just the right thing. The atmosphere is intentionally unrefined, but charming, with lazy looking brush strokes decorating the floor and walls. Readers call it “reliable,” “casual,” and “cool.” Whatever it is, the diverse selection and affordable prices make it the perfect place for the starving artist.
