Super friendly and helpful staff really stand out at this shop. Their selection is, at least to a layman like me, quite vast. Shop here for your arts and crafts supplies and support local business!

Customer service #1. Big love.

There is definitely a big difference from the corporate world to small businesses and you will be able to feel it here. These guys are very helpful, came in during the last hour being open on Saturday and an employee Randy still spent about 30 minutes helping me and making sure I had what I needed, hard to find that one on one attention in the corporate world. This is another reason you should support small businesses and shop local.

Alabama Art Supply has the most extensive selection of professional level materials youll find anywhere in Birmingham. There are staff members that have been there for years that understand the materials and tools they sell. My wife teaches workshops here, their studio spaces for classes is spacious and comfortable. Definitely the place to go if you want to take your art to the next level! A Birmingham landmark of the art community!

Best art supply store around! I always find everything I need, and everything I never knew I needed. Lots of open stock drawing media, great selection of paint brushes. Paint selection is fantastic, especially oils, acrylics, and mediums. They also have bookmaking supplies and beautiful decorative papers! I was surprised by the selection of drawing papers and pads, as well as, canvases and wooden panels. It was definitely worth the trip from Athens!

Admittedly Im biased, because I grew up shopping at Alabama Art Supply, and so did my daughter. Its the best place I know of for a great selection of quality art supplies. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful, and you never know what local artist youre going to run into while shopping there. It always makes me feel more creative just walking through the door

The employees know their supplies, and are artists themselves. Good deals can be found and they have supplies of higher quality and variety than a craft store--if you want it, they probably have it. Discounts are available for students and frequent shoppers as well. Great place.

Pam Truitt at Alabama Art Supply received donated monies from people in our community when my school was hit by a tornado. She kept this fund open for the two years it took for our school to be rebuilt and our children to enjoy their art room again. She gives a tremendous discount to art teachers in Jefferson County and is a jewel of a resource for our community. I could not be happier with the Art Supply she has built for us. Thank you, Pam!

I love coming here, everyone in the store is very knowledgeable and can direct you to exactly what you want. They are a little more pricey than the competitors, but I feel the service warrants the price, they know me by name and what I am coming to get before I get there, they even will order what you need if they do not have it in stock.

Prices are a little high but for an artist this place can not be beat. They have a yearly membership you can sign up for kinda like sams club that reduces the cost by 40%. Its got a great selection of supplies and the employees are very friendly. They also wont look at you crazy when you ask for unusual sounding art supplies lol theyre pretty smart.
