I had never been in this store, but tried it out. I had a very specific need. I needed a spray product for laser printer photo. I asked for acid free, non yellowing, protection against UV damage, and something that will not cause my photo to wrinkle or bubble. The two people at the counter were totally attentive and lead me straight to a great product, Golden Archival Varnish. I have finished spraying with 8 coats and the results are fabulous. I am so grateful to them! I will go there far anything I need now. Many kudos to this store.

Awesome store with plenty of supplies. So much paint! Get Every size canvas and notepads you would ever want. Plenty of brushes and pens. Tons of other craft supplies. The service is nice and helpful. Great location o. Southwest boulevard in the crossroads. Definitely worth a visit.

Customer service was very good and its such a cute store!! Definitely my go-to from now on when I need art supplies. Prices are unmatched

I liked the place. had fair prices on most of their inventory. I was there for spray paint and marbling materials. They do have a very good selection.

Easy to find with some off street parking. A large selection and super helpful staff made it very easy to quickly find just what I was looking for. Ill will be sure to remember this store next time I need any art related supplies.

Friendly staff who know how to wear masks correctly. Fair prices and a wide selection of offerings and supplies.

Great store with a large selection of art supplies. Prices are reasonable and they have a fun novelty section as well.

The staff always makes me feel unwelcome, and it makes me dread walking through the door. They seem like they hate their customers and checking out is the worst part. Not all the employees act this way, but most of the ones I’ve experienced send out some very bad energy. I’ve even gotten an eye roll after walking in. Love the store, but i don’t want to feel anxiety going to an art store and leave upset, so I simply don’t shop there anymore.

Got taken here by a friend, seemed to have pretty much any art/craft supply you could want

This art store has EVERYTHING & the employees are so nice and helpful.

This is one of my favorite places to go. I dont get there often but when I do, I soak in all the color, products and inspiration, which seems to be hanging in the air. Its so much fun. And the staff... they are some of the nicest people and they actually make art themselves so when you ask a question about a product, the chances are either they or someone else working there has used it and can give you an intelligent explanation of it. If you have not been its time to get your butt down there. Kind people, great prices and amazing products.

I have been shopping with A&C for a long time and they never fail to not only provide excellent customer service and courtesy but also they never fail to provide a variety of unique materials from drawing and painting supplies to quirky knickknacks which youll hardly find at any other art and craft store. I also enjoy the fact that the store has a gallery section which showcases local artists making it a win win for both maker and supplier. Recommended times 100!

Really helpful and friendly. Had everything in stock I needed.

Best art supply store in Kansas City! Most product lines at good prices. Friendly and knowledgable staff. Highly recommended.

I was so excited to find an art store in walking distance for me. I spent a good 2 hours looking at everything so many options for painting but also calligraphy, knitting, masks,screen printing, spray painting, and more. Great experience will be back soon

Wow my girlfriend loved this place. So many craft supplies. I feel an artsy person could spend hours if not days just looking around this place. Love the building too very cool architecture. Staff were friendly and helpful even though we came in close to closing. Helped us find exactly what we were looking for.

A huge selection of art supplies. So impressed. Also a small but totally excellent selection of random, small gift items! Really fun little shop

Very cool place! I will be back!

They seem to have everything you would need at reasonable prices I checked comparable prices online and they are less for certain items. They have a lot of novelty stuff for presents. They have gift cards and spray paint.

Great staff and always cool things to look at and discover!

Open up!!! Everyone else is, Hobby Lobby Joann Fabrics... Your voice mail says 30 days from March the 24th it’s May the 20th at least update your voice mail.

I buy every drawing and paint supplies in this store. It’s a big store and it’s somewhat relaxing to walk around in a store full of art supplies. The people working there are very nice (the counter is right at the door tell them hi) and there’s a big selection of brands at really affordable prices (if like me you like to empty your bank account on notebooks pencils, and fineliners).

Fun store with great prices. I want to go again. Great sales!

This place is amazing. Their prices are a little high, but their selection and the quality of help you get from the staff makes it worth it. Theyve always been helpful and patient, and its a great place to get supplies for just about any art form.

This place is seriously artists heaven.. i love it! If it was a bit bigger i could spend ALL day in this store!

So many wonderful options for so many different mediums and crafts. It feels like being a kid in a candy store, but for artists!

This is my go-to place for supplies! They have everything from sketchbook to pipe cleaners to books to encaustics!If im looking for a specific tool, theyll usually have it. If not the staff is more than willing to help you find an alternative.The staff knows what thier talking about. Most of them have a lot of knowledge about art and have gone to art school to top it off. They will help you out even if you think all is lost.Love this store. Love the staff. Ive yet to be disappointedOh! They give really awesome demos too!

Very patient and helpful staff. Wide variety of art supplies with different price points for different people.

Knowledgeable and friendly staff and they always have what Im after. Also they dont seem to mind that Ill take a ridiculously amount of time deciding between slightly different shades of paints or types of brushes.

Love it, great selection, great atmosphere, great experience. The ladies working were very nice and conversational! All I needed was a drafting pencil, and they patiently assisted me the items behind the glass. Will be back.

Helpful and friendly staff for someone looking to get back into drawing.

They have a wide variety of supplies at what I thought were good prices.

Artist & Craftsmen has great variety and very reasonable prices. The staff are the best! If you like art, you will love this store!!

This place is amazing every time I go in there I feel like a kid in a candy store low pressure very informative they have an eclectic array of art supplies from graffiti to professional setups

Youre looking for the different or usual crafting items this would be the place to go

Great products, decent prices, and great employees. I love to shop locally and this is a go to!

This place is awesome!

This place has a very nice selection. I always spend way more than intended when I stop by.

This place has quality supplies for arts and crafts, for professionals and hobbyists alike, however their household tools are not very good. I would prefer those of a run-of-the-mill hardware store.The staff seem educated in the arts and art supplies markets, and interested in the materials of other crafts for which they have no supplies. They will generally tell you where to get good supplies if they dont have something.

The very best place for art supplies. They give me a homeschool teacher discount of 10% without having to “prove” that I’m legit. The staff is always helpful and friendly. They have everything under the sun, including a great kids’ section with endless items kids of all ages will enjoy. They’ve got decent prices and are always stocked. Shop here & avoid creepy places like Hobby Lobby.

Super cool store. Love the lo-kal and love that its local. Will be coming here for alllllllllll my artistic sundrys from now on! Thanks for being awesome!!

Very knowledgeable and helpful staff.Probably best selection of art supplies in KC.

My favorite art store ever! I fell in love with Artist and Craftsman went to the location in Chicago years ago and was overjoyed when I found out that they had a location in Kansas City. They ALWAYS have what Im looking for, both when I was in college getting my Bachelor of Fine Arts and after college with my various art projects. They also have unique gifts in addition to high quality art supplies, so I always end up finding a fun gift for friends when I shop there. I absolutely cannot recommend this shop enough.

Such a nice selection and the gallery is always nice to visit. I really loved the showing that featured Madison Miller!

Happy to go to blick where the cashiers are helpful and friendly

Amazing selection , great staff , Im new to the arts and they never laugh at my stupid questions, best art store in town!!!

This art store is a great place for people on a budget like myself for great art supplies.

Love this place

Friendly staff and a huge variety of artist and craft supplies. Got all of my knitting needs fulfilled here.

They are always so helpful and nice with every question I have.

Very helpful staff. Quickly found everything I needed.

Top notch art supplies from a non-artists perspective

What the..... !?! BIL took me to this place Id never been to before. Staggering! Massive selection, on par to better than average pricing. Worth going if you have a need or want to vaporize a checkbook.

Best art store in the midwest!!

Amazing place and amazing customer service.

This place has the best brands, low prices and selection for artists. There are often sales and every product has a list price and our price which saves at least a small percentage. Im always satisfied to find my preferred pens and weights of paper here, a range of choices you wont find at a big box retailer as this is a specialty store. The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about art. Theyll answer any questions, but you have to go get them. Ive never been approached in store. Its location is great to visit during First Fridays as there is usually something going on nearby.

Great prices. Knowledgeable staff. I love this place!

This place has a lot to offer for artists and artisans. Wide varieties of paints, markers, sculpture and pottery, and a whole bunch more than we saw while we were in. I bought a gift card for my son, and expect hell make a bunch more candles and pick up at least one new crafty skill.

A great store with an incredibly helpful staff! Finding things is easy, the stock is always replenished, and the pricing is great!

This place is a dream come true for artists, especially if you like to hunt for bargains! Tons of art supplies

Employees were rude and way over priced

Great, big art store! Has a lot of supplies. One of my favorite art stores in the city.

Employees are always helpful and cool! And the prices are comparable to any craft store chain, if not better. Support this local business for all your artsy crafty needs!

Lots of wonderful art supplies and fun quirky items!

Amazing place i can always find obscure stuff that i am looking for

A very fun place to check out regardless if you enjoy crafts or not. The shop has tons of random fun things to check out! If you are into art, there are some amazingly affordable supplies here, upbeat music, and helpful staff

Great store and I doubt there is anything at related that you wont find there. The only problem is finding decent parking (especially on first fridays). Would recommend going before noon on a weekday.

I really enjoyed my visit!! Friendly staff with awesome finds! Love this place

Best selection of high quality art supplies in town! Love this store. Parking can be limited, be prepared to street park and walk a bit.

Fantastic shop! Every material you need. Plus, charming and useful gifts. LOVE this shop in KC and in LA.

Excellent for art supplies, the best in KC¡

Love this place. Only problem, I cant leave without buying stuff!

This place was dope. Super chill vibe and had close to everything you could think of when it came to this type of store

Great selection, the employees are a little dull though.

They have pretty much everything you’d need to make any art/craft. Fun staff.

The go to art supply purveyor in Kansas City with great selection and prices.

This is the place to get all types of art, but they are waaayy to expensive. It ridiculous. One 14x16 for $12. At Walmart, I can get 4 for $12. They pay pennies for this stuff then jack up the prices to make a hell of a profit....America is the greediest country on Earth.

I have addiction issues with this place.

Super friendly and knowledgeable staff great selection of products!

Employee (co owners??) come off a bit snotty at first, but after asking them questions and being in there a few times there not.Place has a lot of supplies not terribly expensive.

Found this place by accident. They have everything and good prices staff eager to help. Convenient. Easy in and out.

Listen, if I could give this place more stars, I would! It doesnt matter if youre a seasoned artist, just getting started, or youre looking for crafts for your kids, this place has it. Fantastic prices, great quality and top selection. Make the trip, its worth it!

One of the best stores one in the area for any kind of drawing, painting and general artistry supplies!

Amazing customer service! The lovely ladies even printed off information for me and gave some much needed advice! Thanks ladies!!:)

Its a truly wonderful little shop. The selection of paints, canvases, brushes and mediums is unbelievable. The prices are comparable to the big chain stores. The best part, the staff is very knowledgeable and extremely helpfulI highly recommend this art store to everyone.

Great place, great prices and an amazing selection!

If you are an artist in need of anything you have a really good chance to find it here. Nice selection of what I call speciality papers. This is a no frills store which I find refreshing..The only reason for a 4 star rating instead of a 5 is the lack of scrapbook suppliesIf you are an artist I definately recommend this store

All you could ask for in a crafts supply business. Their prices are resonable and the staff friendly. Plenty of bickcle parking availabe.

A wide range of art supplies and great prices.

They are fully stocked with the best materials. They even carry some of the more obscure tools for wood carving or intaglio. I recommend trying here before everywhere else.

Very nice place knowledgeable staff and reasonably priced!

They always have what I need, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

An artists total delight. The attendant was very professional and knowledgeable. She even allowed me to take a crystal from the bin as a souvenir for my visit.

Great prices, lots of inventory, really nice staff. Seriously, the prices are good. They dont have a ridiculous markup like most art supply stores. This is my go-to store now.

Always an excellent experience. I’m always impressed by the extent of materials offered here. Any time I have gone and not found what I was looking for, it has popped up the next time I return. Friendly, helpful staff. Always, always, always impressed.

Checking out is always unpleasant

Great options in art supply.

Loooove this place. Great deals and a great selection.

Always helpful and sooooo many supplies! Makes my artist heart happy every time I walk through the doors!

Huge selection and helpful staff!
