Easel Art Supply Center

I love this art supply store. I have been going to The Easel for years. They are very helpful and usually have what I need without having to go all over town.

As soon as I walked in there was great customer service. I’m an architecture major and I had received a list from my professor of supplies. I walked in and new exactly where everything was and gave me great advice to each item as well. (Unlike Michaels I had gone and no one knew where the supplies were). But this was such a great spot that I won’t ever stop coming! Fantastic place I love it!

Very few retail stores provide customer service. Easel art supply is a retail store that sells art supplies that still believes in one on one excellent customer service.

They have lots of Art supplies, they are more of a mom and pop place than a corporate chain of art supplies, prices are what you expect from art supplies not cheaper not higher. The ladies that work there are very nice, if you are college student you get a 10% discount.

I have bought art supplies here for many years. While there is not the variety of brands that you find in the major chains, there are good quality materials that are often discounted. It seems to me that owner Mark Glicksman, whose family started the business, orders many items that are from surplus stocks or on clearance from the distributers, so he is able to sell them at a great discount.
There are always a few stands on the counter filled with brushes from $ 1.00 to $ 2.99. This has been a great saving for me, as brushes are notoriously expensive, and I don’t require high quality. These brushes are not necessarily low quality, however.
Mark is the sort of guy who can’t resist but to make a joke about everything, and that is an endearing quality. If you are a regular customer, he will go out of his way to make sure you have a good experience shopping in his store. There have been many times when he offered me a discount that I didn’t even ask for. And he’s right: the excellent treatment is a major reason I have continued to shop here for over ten years.
I am glad that Easel Art survived the recession!
