I love getting lost here and exploring. I always leave with a bunch of things! Pens, markers, paints, you name it, they've got it. If they don't you could get it on their website.

The general manager, Catherine Fuller responded, but was unwilling to help me. She could have at least offered to check with another location to see if they were in stock there. I have been a Blick customer for over ten years- have used them for my class art kits and my personal supplies. Their customer service was one thing that kept me coming back. I'm disappointed in my first East Coast contact.

I was able to acquire a variety of jewelry items in different mediums for a very reasonable price, all made by local artisans and Center volunteers. Estate pieces are also available, priced below FMV, and lots of plans in the works. The atmosphere lends itself to creativity. The pottery pieces for sale would make great/universal gifts. I did buy a piece created by an artist who is now branching out on his own, thanks to Jason's coaching. It's contagious. :)

This business is amazing. One thing I love that they do for our students in our school system is…read moregive them support when it comes to doing projects. As is high school's junior my son had a project HE needed to do for chemistry class called the mole project. He was able to go to the village center for the arts where they had all the materials he needed as well as a certified instructor there who helped the kids with the project. Recently I saw that they were helping our middle schoolers with a social studies project. What an amazing thing they do and it's all free of charge towards students. Support small businesses and support these guys!

This was our first stop on our shopping excursion in downtown New Paltz, and I am so glad we…read morestopped in! Manny's specializes in not only a wide selection of high quality art supplies for all mediums, but also a variety of gift items and novelties as well! We were tempted to drop major cash on some new oil pastels, but instead settled for some inexpensive but adorable wallet-sized animal figurines (a lamb for me and a dinosaur for the boyfriend - so cute!) I haven't seen a small business that sells art supplies outside of my beloved Blick's in Cambridge, MA, so it was cool to visit Manny's in New Paltz and not only support a local business, but support the arts as well. The staff was knowledgeable and kind, and made shopping here an excellent experience. It was a wonderful way to start our New Paltz adventure!

The selection covers everything from beginner level products to those used by the more serious artist and everyone in between. Since moving to the Hudson Valley I have not needed to go into Manhattan or shop online for art supplies. They have everything I've needed here.

There is a hand and brush cleaner that I use called: Marvelous Marianne's Savvy Hand and Brush…read moreCleaner. I can't say enough good things about it. Even if your brushes are dried out this stuff brings them back and it also easily removes paint etc. from your hands. And it's bio. I've tried to order it from Catskill AS but they won't order it saying that their supplier doesn't carry it. I CAN order it from Rhinebeck Art Supply in New Paltz and I do but Catskill is closer and I'd gladly get it from there when I purchase other items. I used to live in NYC and shopped at New York Central Art Supply and it was a pleasure and a great place. For an art supply store not to be able to order certain items is inexcusable. If you need it and it exists they should be able to order it. Bad business practice. If you are reading this try the stuff it's amazing. New Paltz will have it in the store in a couple of weeks. I'm trying to order it directly from the company. I don't think she does that because she honors businesses.

If you don't share his brand of politics and beliefs, he's rude, condescending, and judgmental. The same people who cry about being judged are now the judges. Come on, you know what I am talking about. Also, are you still playing the same Miles Davis tracks on repeat twelve years later? Come on, that's like the anti-hip.

My teenager daughter was googling places to get the required art supplies for her college art…read morecourse and selected this spot. This was located right off the highway close to the total wine and more plaza. At first I was scared the prices were going to be sky high, but it was actually affordable; they even have a members reward program that she signed up for. She found everything she was looking for. The workers were polite and the aisles were clean. We will definitely come back.

A lovely shop by creatives for creatives…read more Loved this store! It made me want to buy everything because it was all displayed so beautifully. Walking into the store immediately it's clear that the owners are artists themselves with a discerning eye for colors, textures, and design compositions. They sell a variety of art supplies and stationary and also hold art classes. The product displays included not only the products themselves but also samples of art that could be created with them. Mini pages of dabbled watercolors lent an air of inspiration with their translucent ombré tones. Dried flowers and twigs, bright warm-shades of fall leaves brought nature into the store and made prime still life subject matter. You could tell the owners put a lot of creative energy and passion into this space. Though I didn't have much direct interaction with the staff, I overheard them helping other customers and providing recommendations. Definitely recommend stopping by in Cold Spring.

Dear SFCL, Thank you…read morefor existing, walking into this cute little shop was so inspirational and instantly gave me the sense that Michaels does (but way more). Basically when I walked in, I knew I was in the right place, the right spot at the right time. It just feels right. From the decor, to the carefully sorted arts and crafts supplies to the beautiful window art to all the artsy things. I want to own the whole store and every single pencil, eraser, paper - well you get it - that's in here. It's a place for inspiration, nostalgia, dopamine and pure JOY walking into here. The smell of art and creativity just gets you on a creative high and inspired. Consider me a big fan and fellow creative always looking to feel inspired and creating. Um, can I like move here?

Floor & Decor saves the day again! Absolutely love this place with sooooo many great options to…read morechoose from at very reasonable prices. They even have sale sections too where you might score something. From backsplashes, to hard wood, to your favorite little beeswax tile (my fave hee hee) they have it all. If you're looking to DIY something and are absolutely not a pro at this, please don't get mad at the staff for not telling YOU how you should do your TikTok project that you have no idea how to begin or even do. This is totally not their responsibility, they know their stuff but they're not here to be your contractor and the pros, they simply work here and are knowledgeable at what they do - the rest, leave it to the professionals. So don't get mad if they don't "explain to you" how to install a tile or a backsplash. This is not a workshop it's a floor store. We've had great experiences coming here, once for a DIY thing and another time to get our bathroom floor redone. Both were fantastic experiences! This last time, they absolutely saved the day. We walked in knowing exactly what we wanted, exactly what we needed - thanks to their online selection and choices but also to their sq ft calculator, this was SO helpful. Bad news, but the tile we needed was not there, just one little half box was available. We asked one of the guys that worked there and he came out with a WHOLE PALLET of it within minutes. Ask and you shall receive! This literally made our day and we were able to get the pieces we needed in time for the pros to get our floor done. It came out incredible. Oh, and grout selection is a thing. We were guided the right direction to make the right choice for the right grout and right shade. OBSESSED. Thank you Floor & Decor for making us happy!
