New enlarged store. Decent selection of numerous arts materials. No student discounts, but prices not that bad, and they do have sales & coupons. They also now have book arts supplies including PVA! |
|
Mostly very "crafty" items, but some interesting things can be found. They do have Liquetex materials and some other things. Prices not at all bad. |
|
Can find paper, pencils, erasures and such here. Worth looking at for various materials. Not many of them left locally though. |
|
Same as Target. |
|
Decent general suplier of paints, inks, mediums, papers and other rather odd materials. I find it a great place to browse for weird stuff. |
|
As above & if you want a kitchen sink and a lime. Do Not Buy anything of importance at this store! The quality is not very good. Foodstuffs however are fine |
|
Fair for papers, staplers, knives pens and other items. Also have some binding materials. Worth a visit without a doubt. |
|
Most convenient. Most expensive. |
|
Best lumber and hardware store in the area. Also have fabrics and misc. stuff that can come in handy in a number of ways. Good choices, and the folks are ok. I seem to be there very very often. |
| |
This is all I can think of for the moment. Let me know if you come across others that are good. |

They do have a number of good items, but the wood is not of very good quality. |
|
Best for
quality wood and tools. Expensive, but worth a trip just to see nice materials
and beautiful woods! |
|
Convenient, expensive. Succeptable to harmless flirtations for slightly better deals at times. |
|
Like Lowe's but not as good. Good for nails, tools etc. Avoid the light fixtures in the lighting department; they make me nauseous. |
|
Worth a glance at catalogue. One of the largest art suppliers in the country, and one of the best. Very reliable, and usually quick with deliveries. All you need is a credit card! |

Ask to see a catalogue. Best place for ordering frames of any size or almost any style. |

Another good frame company. Ask to see the catalogue. |
|
A good company for shipping/storage materials and framing/matting materials |

Excellent place to shop, and conveniently located close to the primary Chicago galleries. 10% off for students, and the offer a student grade gesso for about $12 gal.! |

Best for the price. Definitely worth the trip. You should probably buy all of your art supplies there if possible. (Catalogue available) |
