    So many great products. So cheap! Incredibly easy donation process. Love this concept and think more places should be encouraging eco friendly artistic reuse like The Resource Exchange!

    My partner came to the Resource Exchange a few weeks ago and found an incredible vinyl album and I knew I had to stop by. I came in early Saturday morning and it was everything I needed to start my weekend off right! The variety of supplies is impressive and everything is reasonably priced. I had to catch my breath when I saw the sewing supplies area (just look at the embroidery floss variety!). While I only came home with a single item, I already know I'll be back to find something new.

    This place was fun to visit. fun, random, good people. Parking and a good restaurant same building.

    Fabulous staff and incredibly easy to donate. It looks like their inventory is huge and even parking was a breeze.

    I wish every city had this. A place to donate left over art, craft, sewing supplies - as well as get what you need for your next project

    Do you draw, scrapbook, woodwork, upholster, make props? Check out this place in Kensington. Great prices for some pre-loved art supplies.

    The art materials store is close to Drexel University. There are lots of art materials to choose. I…read morealways come here twice a month.

    I'm giving this 5-stars purely for the service. The people here are all good-natured, from the…read morestore manager to the cashier workers. Whenever I go with a huge list of supplies for my fine arts classes at Penn, usually with items that I've never heard of or don't know the difference between, the store manager has always been willing to walk through the aisles with me and go down the list helping me find items. He'll even tell me which ones are "best priced", which I think is so kind and helpful. I'm pretty sure they have lots of experience with students coming through to buy boatloads of supplies, so he can feel out what level of quality and price is most worth it. The cashier people are very friendly, very familiar. You feel like they're fellow artists just like you and everyone does their best to make sure you have the best supplies for your projects without trying to hustle money out of you by taking advantage of any lack of knowledge you might have. It's a lovely experience! Blick does tend to have more selection, but there's plenty to roam around in this store, and I never feel like I don't have more to choose from than I could ever really fathom at once.
