Pearl Artist & Craft Supply

This place is not worth the trip unless possibly you are looking for art supplies. Any other type of supply such as CRAFT, forget it. There's nothing there. Looks like it and it's stock are stuck in the '70's. If you can't get it at WalMart or Michael's, they WON'T have it here either. more

Good: The best thing about this place is they have tons of stuff. Chances are they have what you're looking for, just good luck actually finding it.. Bad: The worst thing about this place is its lack of organization. Aisles are coded, with no descriptions. Stock often crowds shelves. Boxed sets (paints, pencils, etc.) frequently opened and cannibalized. Selection is inconsistent. Store in general is dirty and uninviting. A great example of a store trying to do everything (arts/crafts/drafting/framing/general merch) and failing miserably.. Improvements: Focus on one thing and do it better than anyone. Also, clean the store, zone the shelves, and make me feel like the artist I want to be when I walk in. As it is, I feel like I'm at the Swap Shop. Yuck.. Other: Basically the whole store is engineered to derail any attempt at efficient shopping. If you like browsing at flea markets, Pearl Art is right up your alley. Otherwise, go elsewhere - you'll never find what you need here within a reasonable time frame and you'll pay more.. more

A huge store with a vast selection of every and any Art supply you can think of! They even have craft stuff, but if you are looking for professional grade supplies at super cheap prices, this is your place. Staff is friendly and knows their stuff. I can't begin to tell you how much they have.. I go crazy when I am in there, like a kid in a candy store.. The best! more
