I love it, I practically live here. They always have what I need, when I need it. I've been going here for years, and it's always good. I don't know what the hell everyone else is saying. They must be going to a different place, becuase ASW is not bad. It's an art supply store, meaning it can be pricey. Guess what: that's how it is. If you want cheap, then go to AC Moore and buy some bad quality supplies. ASW is priced the same as any other excellent art supply store. The staff know their stuff, and they are awesome. If you are a new artist, or a student, I recommend this place. You will find what you need.

Great art supplies, including items you might never see in another store for all types of painting and drawing. Add that with tons of cute and affordable gifts, and then after visit the toy section and you're sure to find something for the kiddo in your life. Great place to go for holiday shopping because their prices are competitive and you get to support a local business instead of a big box, plus you'll be lucky to see these items anywhere else! On a recent trip, I bought drawing supplies for me and magnatile minis for a Christmas gift. It can be tricky to find the staircase down between the other colorful businesses on the street, but give it a shot and you won't be disappointed.

They did have a lot of good stuff in the little back room past the cash register. I even found some heavy duty thread on clearance. The gallery: They are currently showing "Mans and Other" by George Herman. You can make your own judgement if you go. One tip: the paintings change as you get closer or further away.

This art supply shop hovers somewhere between a 4-5 star, but as the only art supply in this area I…read morethink it deserves 5 stars for effort. Van Gogh's is tiny, but there is a lot of goodness packed into that little space. Tons of prismacolors, brush-style markers, clay, sculpting, and framing supplies. The prices are more than reasonable, as I suspect the core customers are starving artists and students. I wish they had twice the room and double the amount of good quality items, but Lowellians can't be choosers. That aside, the location is perfect-- sandwiched between Life Alive and the Revolving Museum. Makes for the perfect pit stop when you're walking around downtown and feel the need for some new charcoal or sketch pens.

Oh, there's also a small sales section tucked in the corner of the room! I had one H E C K of a good time browsing the stationery + prints sections where I picked out a peach gel pen, an adorable animal sticker sheet, and a fun pug print (which came with an envelope!). I'd highly recommend checking this store out for all things artsy, neat, whimsical, and fun.

My husband and I couldn't leave without purchasing some accessories for our office (click and felt coasters). When we got home from our trip, we were describing this shop to some friends that own an art gallery and they knew exactly the store we were talking about! Ha. Stop by and pick yourself out a little something.

Great advice, great selection and great prices. What more could you ask for?…read more As an artist, I think finding the right frame for a piece can be critical important to the overall success of the piece. Also, as an artist, I think find affordable framing is critical for commercial success. Post Road Art Center helps with both. They provide excellent advice providing you the options they think work best taking your budget into consideration. Typically, they present a range of options and let you know what they think about each of them. Often, I've found, they will end up suggesting the less expensive choice. This says a lot about their level of professionalism and their quality of service. I also like that they are local business rather than a big chain. They also have a gallery featuring art by local artists which is fun to check out.

The art teacher is very knowledgeable and helped me feel confident in creating arts and crafts. The art teacher is very patient, kind, and helpful. She made art and crafts seem very do-able with every learner that participates in the activities. The interior is very uniquely designed where each wall and space has its own character. The location is very easy to get to via public transit and there are parking spots on the streets. I highly recommend this art studio for a date night or family activity!

I wasn't comfortable leaving him so hung back and helped out. One mom dropped off a kid who needed a bit extra help settling in and the teacher was visibly annoyed with him. Just not the type of place that's warm, inviting or inspiring . I took art in Eastern Europe throughout my childhood and the teaches commanded the room. This was basically overpriced babysitting. Hoping it's just this one class. Going to try a different school a go.

My first trip to the Green Elephant was a last minute dash into the store to try to find the right gifts for my friend's kids. I do not have children, so buying toys can be intimidating, but the woman at the shop was sweet to talk to, considerate of my price point, and found two perfect & age appropriate gifts that I still get compliments about. My second time was working with the Green Elephant for my corporate holiday party, where kids under 10 get gifts. Given an allowed price range per gift and a table with the age/gender of the children, the owners worked quickly to select and wrap 67 gifts. The response from our employees has been great! The gifts were creative, fun, educational, and in some cases locally made items. The gifts were much better than we got last year, and we spent less money to do it!! I will be visiting the Green Elephant for all of my toys needs from now on. Go local!
