    Came in on Sunday afternoon. I promised my neighbor's kid a Deadpool mask and needed some help with color matching. One of the employees saw me helmet and hand and asked if I needed help. I explained the situation and showed him what I wanted to cover up. He suggested looking at the spray paint as what I was looking at was just the wrong section. They told me it would be almost impossible to match it by hand paint but the spray paint would work well. They the steered me into the low odor section and we found the perfect color, clandestine red. This is what I love about small business and why I passed several box stores . Thank you so much, it turned out great, my neighbor loved it.

    i've been looking for an art supply store, where im from the most convenient option is online, but obviously you have to know what you are looking for to search for it. I was in the city and decided to search for a store and im so happy i did!! their Daniel Smith paints are INCREDIBLE prices and and the have even better variety! it felt like everything was on sale in comparison to online prices and after paying found i saved $70! its an artist paradise and the gentleman who helped me was so very kind! allowing me to try some of the ink’s to make sure its the color that i am looking for! they even offer to cut the watercolor paper to whichever size you want! this place is a gem and ill gladly travel the 3 hours there before ever ordering anything online ever again because Art Center is worth it, they literally have absolutely everything! i was so impressed that they had a whole range of escoda brushes to princeton, all types of watercolor paper to watercolor grounds and every single medium that matters! but above all, i walked into this store and immediately felt like i could ask for help without being an inconvenience.
