I travel from Indiana to visit the Art Coop at least once every few months to see what they have to offer. I love the whimsical gifts at the front and their dedication to new supplies such as pencils from Blackwing! :)

Love this store! They have a huge selection of embroidery thread colors, more than Michael's I think. Staff has always been super friendly every time I've been there. The prices are also really good for art supplies!
