An awesome art store located in Westport. Plenty of good deals and tons of options. There are multiple rooms with items for sale. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly.

I used to love it. Now its a struggle to shop. A mask is fine except my glasses fog. I didnt see the line needed to step behind. Very little lighting so extra difficult to see unless I am near a sunlite window. The store is not honoring patron purchase awards, part time hours and need to call.

Wonder place. Great selection and friendly staff

Friendly staff good prices!!

I love this place because of the ma and pa type store. This is in original store it has class it also has great deals I bought the remainder of the Montana markers that they have stopped carrying but I got it for a great price. Now there are other art stores around the metro that you can go to and probably get better deals but youre not going to get that service that you get at cold snow so just do the right thing and come on and a cold For any of your art needs!!!!

Used to be a great art store but completely wrapped up in the Covid hysteria. Face masks have been proven time and again to be ineffective placebos, yet Coldsnows requires them to enter the store. And when i do get in they are about 30% stocked!. You know who doesnt have these policies and stays in stock? Amazon and Hobby Lobby - ill just go there next time i need something! Youre putting YOURSELVES out of business! Stop with these asinine policies and stock your store!

Really good prices on top quality art products. Theres another art shop on the other side of midtown that competes very well. But the frequency of their sales wins it for me. Best place to buy canvas.

Well stocked and super nice staff

The folks here were very helpful!! Love that this place is a local based and owned store.

Nice people good arts supply store.

This locally owned art supply store is my go-to place for both framing and art supplies. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and the store itself is like a Cave of Wonders for artists. They don’t have everything...but almost. Highly recommended!

Always a great place to find supplies for nearly any type of art project. The staff is very helpful and can point you to whatever youre looking for. Love this place!

Coldsnow is the best place to shop reasonably priced supplies in kc, and they give students a 40% discount if you show your student ID. Kcai kids can rejoice!

This is the art store that my grandmother has shopped at for many years and now I shop at. And for good reason! They always have what Im looking for. Creative Coldsnow is a breath of fresh air compared to other big box arts and craft stores. Cant recommend this local store enough.

Awesome service

My favorite art supply store in the mid west, if they dont have it ..no one else does.. great staff, good prices love it, so much to see

Excellent selection of art supplies and the best freaking framing in Kansas City. Not the cheapest just the best.

They have extremely friendly staff every time Im in there, and its usually someone different than the previous time I visited (Im only there every few months). They have a enormous selection for all kinds of artists, whether you are a professional or a hobbyist or even just starting, an Illustrator, a sculpter, a painter, a carver, etc. They also have multiple floors, though Ive only been upstairs once and never downstairs yet. They also offer a student discount if you show your college ID card at the register. The only complaint I have is that the parking isnt great... they are on a busy street and i havent been able to find a lot, though they probably is one somewhere. I highly suggest them, regardless!

LOVE going in here when I’ve got the time. They do pretty good sales every so often especially on canvases! I’m pretty sure they’ll even special order things if they don’t have it in stock? Don’t quote me though haha. They’re worth going to and I love supporting them

Awesome local art supply store

Very helpful people

Great place for student but staff not to friendly stand offish an act like they dont remember you .

Had what my son needed. Great art supply store

Nice wooden word signs for cheap in the basement for six something cents

Great place for artists to get supplies. Ive been many times, over the past 25+ years. The variety is great and good service too. It is not, however, a run of the mill craft store. Perhaps some who have left poor reviews were expecting more variety of things more suited to crafts? If you are looking for items for drawing, painting, and other ways to create art, this is the place.

Simply the best art store in the metropolitan Kansas City area for the serious artist

This local artist supply store has great prices and friendly staff. Best--if you need help framing your work, their competitive prices make it affordable and the experienced framing staff can take that hassle off your plate any time you need help prepping for art shows or gallery openings.

An amazing selection, great prices and knowledgeable, helpful staff.

The best framing place in Kansas City! Not the least expensive just the best.

So much love for this establishment.

Great store with really good set of affordable supplies/materials and super friendly and knowledgeable staff! Plus they offer amazing discounts to students and art teachers which I greatly appreciate. Thank you!

Locally own art store , good helpful people, fair prices. Been there for years. I am a proud supporter of the local economy

Ive been shopping here for over ten years. Ive had art framed and bought endless supplies and Ive never had a bad experience. It wonderful to shop at a place that provides the individual attention and variety of merchandise this place does. Serious.

Love this place, they have everything I need and so much more! Plus their supplies are always discounted and their rewards program saves me some serious $$$I wouldnt go anywhere else for my art supplies! Plus we gotta support our local shops that make Kansas City the rich vibrant city we all love and cherish :)

Friendly and knowledgeable staff- huge selection of materials and canvas, and a super funky space with a ton of history.

Amazing selection, down to earth staff

Great art store with wide selection of supplies. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly and it has become my go-to art store.

Huge maze of a place, but nothing to buy. All the shelves were barren except for a few stay supplies. Might be because it’s the end of the year and inventory stuff? Idk. Kinda weird. Employees were pleasant, but no public restroom, which was strange for the square footage of the place. I’ll just keep ordering from Blick online.

Amazing discounts for students, has tons of supplies at reasonable prices, if you dont see what you want, but there is a space on the shelf for it, they might be able to call it in from another store. Love shopping here, friendly staff, couldnt ask for better.

Great place for frames.

I am anxious to go back and explore more! Great price on Posca pens!

Great quality products and lots of them

Used to be one of the best in Kansas City for art supplies. Now it is terrible and really dont know how it stays open. Empty shelves everywhere and prices are extremely high prices.

Great family owned art supply store.

This store is a little gem! Blink and you might miss it but turn around and go back for a visit! I buy artistic odds and ends from them frequently.

The staff is always friendly and helpful. I always come here for art emergencies and I know I can find what I need. The last time it was a pre-cut mat frame and another time clear sealant for a painting.The layout is strange and if its busy it does get crowded but its big so you can spend some times looking around. The basement is really creepy but they always have weird stuff on sale and once I found 30 little mirrors for two bucks.You can always find something here and the prices are a little cheaper than Blicks.

Great local business has plenty of mediums

Wonderful selection. Unique outlay of store and wonderful assistive staff

Only comic book store in the Kansas city metro area.

A little pricey, but great selection and a ton of history in Kansas City.

Creatives been a permanent fixture for art supplies in KC for some time now. If its a niche type tool your looking for theyve probably got it. Sculpting, drawing, knitting... you name it!

Good selection of art stuff, regular prices. Staff friendly and helpful.

Ive been purchasing at Coldsnows for so many years. They have never let me down. Always helpful even if im not sure what im asking for. Thanks, Coldsnow... you still make Keith proud!

Nice selection and s FUN

I always find great deals here.

Cant wait to get back th e re.

No messages. I had to call and check over week later to find out it was on back-order. I canceled the order and went into the wilderness to find my supplies. Not happy. Neither was their manager. Ill send my students elsewhere too.

Support your local art store! The staff is very friendly and helpful and they have a much better selection than the chain store on Main St.

Decent prices, great selection. Helpful friendly staff

Very friendly staff, must visit for artists

Nice little store with friendly, helpful staff and a nice selection of art supplies.

It was a nice place and a big selection. However my husband and I waited for 30+ minutes to speak to the lady about a frame and she never showed.

Im a long time customer. I really like their Canvass and paint sales.

Really helpful! They guided me to everything I needed to be successful!

Okay selection but difficult to find what you want and a bit cramped. Great service though.

Great sale on bulk canvases.

I regularly shop there for Canvases and paints.

Nice, helpful people

Great shop

Anything you could possibly need for art.

Most everything on sale 40% off

Students from kcai get a 40% discount and i am alive

Everything you need and more.

Friendly, helpful expertise.

Everything I need close to home.

Such good prices and great supplies!

Good selection.

Great, family owned business
