Very good materials, I got my first set of gouache there and they’ve worked just fine. My only issue is that its a bit overpriced, but I guess that’s normal with art supplies!

A bit on the expensive side, but I love to browse and get a few things. Clearance items should be cheaper.

Parking in the back!! If that wasn't enough, the employees are friendly and helpful. They carry less than Blick, but it's way chiller and prices are sometimes lower.

Being an artist in San Diego, there are only two places to shop locally to get premium art supplies, A&C and Blick. I prefer the smaller A&C to support an employee-owned company. Unfortunately, since Covid in 2020, it seems that every time I go in for Daniel Smith watercolors (which is my preference) the inventory is low. I've been in at least twice where I left with nothing, and just this week I came in with a gift card that I got for Christmas wanting to stock up on my watercolors. Two of the three were out of stock. When I asked when they might be back I was told that an order came in this week and they get one monthly. That's not good news for me. I asked them to call me and let me know when it would be in, so we will see if they do. I don't really want to go to Blick, but I am forced to sometimes.

Cool spot. Happy to shop local. They have extensive art supplies, and basic necessities for fiber arts. Grateful I didn’t have to go all the way to mission valley for thread.Cute kitschy toys, will be back to shop more!

I am a professional artist & workshop leader in San Diego. My studio is only blocks away from A & C Supply but I'm always reluctant to shop at this store because of the sullen attitude of their employees- they sure aren't behaving like owners. I spend quite a bit of money at their store and am NEVER greeted though I always say good morning etc. WoW I think they need to be reminded that without customers and a friendly attitude they won't have a job. Jannette was particularly unpleasant this morning, I guess she hates her job.

Puff paint... I could not find any Puff paint for the life of me. But this store is great for everything else from DIY to your artistic abilities, this place has lots to choose from. The staff is also always willing to help find anything you need. PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO STOP FOR YOUR ART SUPPLY NEEDS.
