Reviews of Wet Paint
Staff are Friendly and knowledgeable. Has a nice selection of both art and stationery supplies. They also offer fountain and dip pen supplies too. Many materials are accompanied by hand-made samples, and you are able to test certain brushes and pens. Their watercolor paper sampler pack is great - when they have it
Able to request a special order for an item they don't stock.
The best art supply store in the Twin Cities. Run by knowledgeable artists and art lovers. No project too big or too small. No material too esoteric. I love them and always feel welcome when I step in the door.
Really cute craft and stationary store. One of the only places I know of where you can get fountain pen related items like ink in store. Super friendly staff and calm comfy vibes ~
This is my favorite store on the planet. Great selection and awesome staff. Wonderful art store. Endless selection of pens and paper and journals. If you can love a store as much as you love your cat this is my place. As you can see that is a loveable cat. Wet paint is just like that!!!
The staff members were helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, and quick to call over another person for help if they needed another expert to answer my question. I came in to try out some fountain pens, and the person I first met was happy to pull out several for me to try, give advice based on my preferences, and explain details for me. (Now I know what a fude nib is!) I'll be coming back for sure the next time I want a new pen or some ink.
Not only are they super knowledgeable about art and art supplies but the staff is also very kind and caring. I recently had a medical event in their store and they were so sweet and concerned and helpful. I can't recommend them enough.
FAMILY FRIENDLY, approachable, knowledgeable staff. If you have ever felt intimidated by visiting an art store or have ever felt an art store was exclusive or "out of your league," the way I did years ago, or if you have imposter syndrome about being an artist or wanting to be an artist, I urge you to pay Wet Paint or their website a visit. They have so many fun classes for all levels and supplies for adults and children alike. Great gift ideas, and of course tons of open stock, so if you can't buy a complete set or if you just want to replace something or create your own "flight" of materials, this is the place to go. I was not surprised to hear some well-respected artists I follow on YouTube talk about Wet Paint and how they wish they had something like it near them. Prices are good for art stores (not craft stores, but selection is SO much better, including professional grade rather than only student or craft grade), sales regularly, customer service top-notch, a reputation for treating their employees well, located in fun area with excellent nearby restaurants and shopping, and locally owned. You can also take a stroll around Macalester College grounds and charming neighborhoods. Win-win all around.
Wonderful art supply store with reasonable prices! If you're looking for gifts for artists in your life, they also have really nice gift sets put together.
The best art supply shop in St Paul Minnesota, I go regularly for a wide variety of art classes, journaling groups, art bookclubs and a great selection of books and art supplies, journals, and papers
This is THE BEST art store in the St. Paul. I have been shopping here for at least 25 years. I always prefer to shop local small stores over big chains. The prices are a wee bit more in certain items, the same on some, lower on a few, BUT they stand behind the quality of their products and you can return things. The Wet Paint Staff is so incredibly friendly and knowledgeable! They are always there to help without being overbearing or intrusive. Sometimes I stop quick for 1 item, other times I browse for hours. On the rare occasion they don't know the answer to my random question, another staff member will, or they will find out for you. They have also special ordered things for me when I need them.
This store is also wonderful for children to learn about art and have fun, the staff is very supportive with kids. They have tons of kid sets too. There are bigger stores with more items, but you won't get the help and knowledge of this AMAZING STAFF! This store is always clean, colorful and tidy. It's so fun to browse and meander through all the beautiful displays. They have wonderful paper, pens, paint, easels, canvases, an amazing selection of spray paint, oils, acrylics, pastels, pencils. Just everything!! I can't say enough wonderful things!!! Stop by and see!!
Dream art supplies shop. Always helpful, kind to even the least artistic person just trying to by washi tape (me), and an excellent array of goods for all stripes. Appreciate their friendliness, their commitment to keeping our community safe and healthy, and their wide range of mt washi tapes 😊 …
Excellent haven for artists. They really pack in a good selection of supplies in a small location. The staff is super knowledgeable.
Well stocked with very arts knowledgeable staff as well what you need to create your own artworks. Small locally owned art supply shop second to none.
A great local art supply store. Very helpful and friendly staff. Lots of great specials. Due to covid they have a limited time you can be in the shop but they were able to help me find what I needed so I was in and out! I also picked up a kit for a class I am taking through community education and they had everything I needed packed up nicely for me. I highly recommend Wet Paint!
As someone who doesn't know much about how art is made, I could have been easily overwhelmed by the depth and breath of what they carry, but the signage all made it very accessible. I even discovered some hobbies I didn't know I should have!
Fantastic art store. Wide selection and friendly, helpful staff.
What a delightful art supply store! A treasure trove of materials for everyone from the hobbyist to the professional, with a particularly good selection of things for young artists! The staff is knowledgeable and eager to help. If there's any downside, it's that the store is so good and easy to spend lots of time/savings in!!
The Pearl River of St. Paul. I’m probably preaching to the choir here, but Wet Paint is a local treasure full of friendly, knowledgeable people ready to help you find whatever you need. If they don’t carry it, they’ll help you source it. Go indie art stores!
Love having my local art store! The staff here is remarkable. I don’t think you could get in and out without at least one staff member asking if you need help. They are all out great and the selection is large for a small store. It’s been my go to for a while and hope others shop small here!
love this place, a worker kindly helped me get started with oils last time i went :-)
Small place but good amount of supplies. Ur place to go if for artists.
So much variety and the staff were very knowledgeable. Excellent selections of everything I needed.
They always have the newest inks and fountain pens too.
Everyone has always raved about Wet Paint and I finally went and experienced it in person. Liz was amazing and was all about getting me the best deal on products. I signed up for her class the next day and it was amazing. Wet Paint is everything I was promised and more.
Wonderful array of high end paint for artists... a step up from my old Sharpies, acrylic refillable pens!
Friendly and knowledgable staff, and a great selection of supplies to choose from!!
I am so happy every time I go inside this store. Sure some, well, most, of their stuff is expensive, but I think it is worth it for the quality and the amazing vibe that you get when you step through the door which alone they could charge for. I have been buying art supplies from Wet Paint for years and I plan on continuing to do so for many years to come:)) Highly recommended.
Such helpful staff, easy to browse and find what you need, and happy to order in pieces you need if they don't have it in stock.
A wonderful little corner art store I'll be going to again and again
Without a doubt one of the most reliable art supply stores in the TC easily. Their unique selections include unique japanese pens and papers, and many other things you would never find at a big box craft outlet store.
The employees also just genuinely love art. Any one of them will have something to say about the mediums you both love and are new to.
5/5 love throwing money at em.
Great customer service, everything was packed well and paints arrived in good condition! I placed an order via email/phone, I was looking for a product that was no longer carried but the team put everything together for me. I just want to say thanks to both Kate & Justin for being friendly and attentive, plus shipping was super quick. I’ll be a return customer for sure! Thanks Wetpaintart!
My love affair with the Wet Paint store started in 2005 when we moved to St. Paul. It is the BEST art store. Wonderful friendly, knowledgeable staff, terrific stocked up store and lively excellent classes for all levels of artists. I am so glad we have this store in our town.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff, great selection, could lose myself for hours in there!
The five stars are for the quality of their staff - excellent! First of all, the second I walked in, they were ready to help me find exactly what I needed. Cheerful attitudes (and very cool sense of fashion too). The person who helped me pick out watercolors showed and explained every option and even had tips for using the set I chose. They earned a repeat customer, for sure. Thanks!
I am not an artist, I came in for fountain pens. That being said there was an overwhelming amount of art supplies all over the place, I'm sure you can find what you're looking for. If you come for the fountain pens you'll definitely have a good selection. It's not huge but they have a variety of pens across many price points and styles. The ink selection is even better and was a lot of fun to peruse.
Came here as a complete beginner to acrylics. A super friendly sales associate helped me find the best option for a palette and helped me with a technique problem and gave me a solution. All the employees were helpful in giving me advice and directions to other art stores in the neighborhood too.
I also loved their selection of paint colors and the prices looked very reasonable for a small business art store which I expected to be pretty spendy.
If I need art/paint supplies in the future I would definitely return to Wet Paint for them!
I ordered from Wet Paint after learning about them through Steve Mitchell's Mind of watercolor videos. I ordered a number of paints, brushes and paper. They shipped super fast, quickest way too which I very much appreciated, the box was packed very well, everything wrapped almost like Christmas presents, my brushes protected...just so well done like they really cared. I'm going to order again and again from them! Just awesome Art supply store!
Wow! What an incredible store and staff. Fixing up an old plastic toy for my family, I needed a paint that wouldn’t rub onto clothing or skin. After consulting with a very helpful staff, they put me onto a couple tiny bottles of paint. It worked perfectly! Great products and knowledgeable artists working at this shop. I also love the glass barrier at checkout, so cute and creative!
Love this place!! Some unique supplies you can't find at other art supply stores. Great staff as well!
Hands down the best art supply store I've been to. They have the largest selection of dip pen calligraphy nibs (both pointed pen and broad) and inks I've ever seen. They have a large selection of fountain pen paraphernalia as well -- basically, Wet Paint is a calligrapher or fountain pen aficionado's heaven.
I must also mention the other reason I am a repeat customer: the staff is fantastic. Everyone is so friendly and knowledgeable about everything they carry, and they all seem to genuinely enjoy working here, which I think makes all the difference in the world.
I never write reviews. Ever. That's how much I love this place! They have something for everyone, and it's probably my favorite store.
They have helpful and friendly staff. A nice selection with a good variety of produces considering the size of the store.
I checked Wet Paint out on the recommendation of my usual art store when I was looking for a product they didn't stock... Holy moly, not only did they have what I needed but literally every staff was friendly and super helpful! I love going to an art store without feeling like my level of knowledge is superior, you know? Excellent selection of products, well organized, clean, etc. I will certainly be returning!
Don't waste your time or money anywhere else. I've been searching for paint pens. Nobody had what I needed, on a whim, I stopped here.
Bingo! Within a minute of entering the store I was asked if I needed help, maybe it was the look on my face, the woman showed me what they had and I was thrilled & the price was better than I've seen elsewhere.
I decided to look around, cuz I was feeling lucky. I found tie dye supplies, mounted canvases, inks, paints of all sorts, brushes, and even skate board decks. I didn't even make it thru the entire store before I blew the money I had w me. I even had to put stuff back.
The store was comfortable and inviting. Wet Paint is my new favorite store.
Great service and great people! I recently went here to buy some paper and pens and received excellent service from start to finish. I am not a super artsy person but still felt welcomed and respected here. The staff were helpful but not overbearing and the shopping experience was all around pleasant. If you're looking for high quality products a friendly customer service, I definitely recommend this place!
If they don't have what you need,..don't know who would,..staff is very friendly,..and very helpful,..
Wet Paint has the BEST staff and supplies an artist could ask for. Put your money into independent shops like this one 👍 …
This is definitely my favorite art supply store in the Twin Cities. Excellent selection and the friendliest, most helpful staff. I go out of my way to come here over anywhere else.
Favorite art supply store in the cities! The staff are welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful!
Between the awesome staff, and thoughtful store layout, it's easy to find exactly what you're looking for. 10/10 would recommend
I love Wet Paint! I am always greeted with help and always find what I need. And it’s always bustling, which gives it a sense of community
Best art store ever? Is that fair to say? Absolutely. Great inventory that I'm always excited to browse, very good prices, and a really helpful, friendly staff. I have yet to check out any of their classes but they have some very interesting offerings. And if you're into book binding, they have some great materials and resources.
The service here is amazing and the staff are very well educated on all the supplies that they sell. They are very helpful and friendly. This store does a great job following guidelines for covid-19 making it a safe place to shop even during the pandemic.
Amazing staff and selection! Always willing to help answer questions and give recommendations for amazing other products, And always lovely and wonderful staff.
My first time here, everyone in the store was knowledgeable and more than happy to help. Nice clean and calm environment to shop for art supplies.
c'aira said "that place was good, i liked it there. i liked the gay people there. they liked my shoes."
Wonderful experience! Ordered over the phone for local delivery and my supplies were with me in less than 24 hours. The staff member I spoke to on the phone picked out some supplies for me based on my needs and they were completely perfect, couldn’t have picked better myself. Thanks so much for keeping us creative and safe 💫 …
This place is amazing. It has all an amazing of specialized tools for painting and other crafts. The staff is very knowledgeable and kind. They helped me with the most obscure questions I had about many different things. There is a parking lot in the back in addition to all the street parking. They also offer classes and one of these days I will definitely sign up just with the fact how amazing the staff were.
I love this store so much packed in there. Lots of knowledgeable staff and often hand made examples. They always have what I came for and know right where it is.
This shop is located on Grand Ave. one of St. Paul's more pretty, nostalgic streets. I love Grand Ave. thus many of the shops located here feel special to me. Wet Paint is no exception. They manage to carry a wide variety of quality art supplies in what seems like a small place. I have shopped here many times over the years and have always received great help. Whether it's oils, watercolors, pencils, pens, brushes they have the good stuff. Shopping here gets me the stuff I need to do art. And what could be more important than doing art. Nothing!!!
This is my favorite place to get fountain pens and inks. The staff knows their stuff!
Amazing independent arts supply store that stocks a good selection of material and employees insightful and excited artists of multiple practices. Any problem or curiosity you have of a medium or product most likely they’ll have the solution.
This was a very high caliber art store. Not your regular craft store. Customer service was great. Friendly and helpful for those like me who know nothing about art supplies. Just beware this place is on Grand Ave which makes finding parking difficult. But well worth the trouble,
Absolutely amazing! great customer services, I was in and out within 20 minutes and found exactly what I was looking for. Would definetly shop here again.
Wet Paint is my go-to art supply store. Even though I no longer live in the Twin Cities, I have to stop here when I’m in the area. A great selection of staples and quirkly supplies with the added bonus of fabulous staff. Highly recommend!
The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. Their selection of fountain pen ink is great- it seemed like they had more variety in the store than I remembered seeing online.
Today we stopped by to get some watercolors and Liz was SO HELPFUL!!!!!!! She made pandemic shopping fun and really got us excited about learning to watercolor!! Highly recommend, great store, Liz is great, everything was GREAT!! THANK YOU! One million stars :)
Great class experience. Wonderful helpful people. Also the art store supplies were amazing.
One of my favorite places to go! The staff is incredibly kind and helpful. Thanks for all you do!
My new favorite art store in the twin cities. Cozy atmosphere, great selection and super helpful staff. If you are looking for a certain product I'd call ahead before making it over to the shop, sometimes they don't stock but can special order at no charge.
Wet Paint has all of the things I needed for my penmanship and calligraphy work. They carried all the major ink brands, many pens, ink safe paper, and nibs. Everything was cheaper than I could find online and the staff was friendly. Definitely would shop again if I lived in the area!
Simply the best.
Great variety, friendly, knowledgeable staff of varied sorts of artists, extensive stock, great quality, (including more economically priced lines of many supplies), and the classes they host have been more than worthwhile....
there are other excellent art supply stores,
but the greatest is Wet Paint.
You could go to five or six stores, or just one.
A cute art store up on Grand, this is my favorite place to go. Their stuff can sometimes be on the expensive side, but nevertheless it's great quality. I have gotten cute pens there too such as a banana shaped one with a monkey on it. Many varieties of sketchbooks and they offer classes.
Good art supplies conveniently located
Absolutely perfect from the friendly staff to the helpful staff, it's just all too great! It has so much more then you'd hope as far as product and class offers. It's art stuff, go get it.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Wow do they have a lot of art stuff. I was there to find supplies for my budding artist and no question was too little to them. There was no way I could have made the informed purchases without them and i felt great about everything I left with.
They also would show me a price range of items and let me decide the quality I needed.
Chill little art shop, proper prices, cool staff. I moved here from Wisconsin, and having a place like this near by makes a world of difference. So glad I can shop at places like this now!
Such a great variety of art supplies with staff knowledgeable about art! I got help with a unique framing challenge. And, of, course, art supplies--fountain pen ink, glue, embroidery floss!
I have been shopping here for over 20 years. The staff is knowledgeable. The art supplies are curated for quality and affordability. I have always had a great shopping experience and been satisfied with my purchases. Thank you
Today I received top-flight service by highly knowledgeable, courteous and on-the spot staff regarding fountain pens--and left me with the impression that their knowledge and service extends to all parts of their expansive store. Go there for your art/writing etc. needs. Plenty of easy parking too.
I love this place. Although I have to drive about 25 minutes just to buy art stuff from here it's worth every time. Everytime I come here the staff are amazing and very welcoming which I love, they conversate with you and also very knowledgeable about everything. I like the fact they don't talk to you all robotic and actually talk to you like a person. I love this place for their materials and even when they don't have it in stock they will order it for you and call you once your item has arrived. A+ for customer service and A+ for organizations, A+ for knowledge, A+ for supplies!!!
Best art supply store EVER! They have everything from tiny stickers to the thinnest Japanese paper money can buy. They’ve rearranged successfully for safe pandemic shopping or you can do pickup or mail order. Pen nibs, etching ink, gelly pens, paper paper paper. More paper! The best.
Awesome store for casual artists and professional/art students. When I went during the week the street parking was full.
Knowledgeable staff, great service, and large selection of high quality art products. We went to get some supplies for my son's 3rd grade project and got the perfect paint and pearlizing medium. We got good advice on how to paint an unconventional surface.
Buy local! A craft store big box may be cheaper but here you can find someone to really answer your questions and offer suggestions.
I've heard they have wonderful classes too, and plan to attend one soon.
As a long time customer, I love the supplies and store. However, as a younger artist, I have experienced a strong negative vibe from the older male staff. They act condescending and impatient towards me when I ask a question. I am also followed around the store and watched wherever I go. I understand this might be due to shoplifting, but it makes me uncomfortable (especially as someone who has been shopping here for so long). I love the store- but I think there needs to be reform on the costumer service side.
Best art store in the twin cites, full stop. Working artists there to guide you. Cannot recommend enough!
My favorite art store!
Pros: unique items, tons of pens, friendly staff, great prices, started selling cute imported stickers!
Cons: I wish they had even more planner stuff, I’d love to see more dotgrid journals, stickers, and accessories!
A ton of art supplies live here. ❤️ Plus, several times staff helped me the find just the right thing. They took the time, chatted a bit, and made sure I had everything I needed. That made it over the top. When I checked out, they even made sure my supplies we're all tucked away nicely.
Great selection of art supplies. Felt a bit badgered by staff. As I was constantly asked if I need help every time I went to a different section of the store.
More intimate and less corporate than places like Blicks, Wet Paint has the feel of a neighborhood boutique yet with an ample supply of everything you need for your creative projects. The staff is extraordinarily helpful and will go out of their way to give you advice and help you find or order what you need. There's a great selection of kids' art supplies, paints, painters' mediums, tools, canvasses, pens (exotic ones too), specialty papers, notebooks, and space for a variety of art classes. Worth dropping in even just to browse.
Wide selection with knowledgeable, friendly staff. Frequent sales. Lots of classes. A gift card to Wet Paint is a great gift idea even for people who don't consider themselves artists as they have many pens and stationary.
This is where I go for pretty much all my art supplies. They've only let me down once (because they don't have embroidery floss). They pretty much only sell things for paper crafts, but they have a great selection and are staffed by real artists.
Always have more than I need. It's like going to the Grocery store hungry......Need to trips around the store. First trip you grab everything you want. Then you walk around and put half of it back 😂. Seriously, great Art Supply store for every level of Artist. …
Great place! Staff were friendly and helpful.
I am in north central Indiana and use St Paul Wet Paint for my needs. One of my most recent purchases has been the mechanical colored pencils from Zebra. 26 different colors and they have refill colors available. The price point let's you know that these are not Derwent or Carandache, but they live up to their price point. I have used them for on the go sketching and drawing. No sharpener to carry around, just grab your pallet colors and go. They are not blessed with an over abundance of pigments, they do blend nicely with odorless spirits. I do not mind lending them as they are not my good/favorite materials. I am sure you understand that dynamic. The service from Wet Paint is as always above and beyond. Thank you Kate for your kindness and patience. Looking forward to my next visit.
The staff here truly do want to help you make whatever art you want to make, and they know a ton--they are all artists themselves, but the kind that want to share the joy of creation, not the kind that think they are better than you because you don't know something.
I absolutely fell in love with this art store after a friend recommended this to me. The staff was extremely helpful and kind. This is an art store that has many things including things from Japan like pen holders and nibs that I cannot find anywhere else. They truly do deserve this rating.
New layout and still awesome! Super awesome staff will help you find what you need, and of course you'll find stuff you don't on your own. I love my neighborhood art supply store!
All staff are incredibly knowledgeable and always willing to help you out. The store is nearly organized and finding what you need is easy!
This place is one of my favorite stores ever! If it's art-related, they are almost guaranteed to have it in stock. It's crazy. And no matter who helps you, you will get great customer service. I have found things here that I can't find anywhere else. I love this place.
Best art store in all of the St. Paul area! So worth the drive! Customer service is excellent! And they always have everything I need, and everything I didn’t know I needed :-)
Had a great experience with skateboard artist Mark Rivard from Do Rad Things. My younger child was able to try some art supplies for free while her older brother was drawing. Such great people and a great classroom space!
I just went in for a pick up but the store looked nice and well organized and my stuff was brought to the counter quickly. I was also greeted by all of the employees as they saw me.
Chris was friendly and enthusiastic even though they were super busy. All of our questions were expertly answered and kindness was a constant. Got some ink and ordered some more. Chris made me and my friends night just by being themself and I'll happily visit this store again.
I grew up just a few blocks from this store and have been going there for many years. A nice selection of all kinds of art supplies, and a kind staff. I go out of my way to come here!
Managed to catch the sidewalk sale, excellent prices on all the usual art stuffs, and a wide array of more niche art supplies inside. They also had a decent price on Montana cans, and some good looking art classes.
The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and always willing to take the time to explain/introduce the products (I always leave the store excited and inspired to try something new). There is a great variety and selection of supplies and everything is very well organized.
A quiet little art space for most traditional media. It has mostly professional equipment with some for younger children and beginners as well. The staff are helpful, attentive, and friendly.
Masks required.
Friendly knowledgeable staff that are all artists. Prices are decent and selection is good. Happy to swing through Wet Paint when I'm in Saint Paul for all my needs. I work with acrylic painting and scale minatures.
I'll come here after school every once and a while and their paints and pens are great! They have some of the best art supplies available. The people here are so nice and friendly. I'll definitely come here again
Real friendly helpful staff. Great art supplies. Very reasonable prices. They have everything. I'm very interested in attending a couple of classes.
Awesome, knowledgeable and helpful staff, fantastic selection and prices as good or better that online e-tailers. Plus, a newly expanded kids section filled with carefully selected high-qaulity items.
If it's your first visit plan for extra time because you won't want to leave.
Wet Paint is the old neighborhood hardware store that knows exactly what you need kind of art store. The friendly staff will help you succeed.
This is my favorite art supply store. I feel very safe with their Covid protocols and the staff were incredibly helpful with helping me find things, whether fountain pens, printing paper, etc.
Top notch art supply store. most of the staff uses some of the art supplies as practicing artist or students, so they really have a feel for the products on the shelf. It's really helpful when looking for a particular item for an application, they can often recommend something other than what you had in mind that may work out better. Selection is mind blowing, regardless of your medium to work in.
Excellent service very busy store. Has a lot of brands and great prices. Very knowledgeable staff. Felt like they really cared about my business and they were artists and knew what I needed.
Art lust is a great thing and I like Wet paint as the place to satisfy it. Helpful, knowledgeable staff and complete range of materials.
workers are always super helpful and i love looking at all of the cool art supplies n stickers n things! wet paint is by far my favourite art store out of every place ive gone.
Great art store. Packed to the gills with quality supplies. Also the only place around to buy fountain pens and ink :)
Best art store in MN; everyone is very nice and helpful. Also is one of the few places left try and buy fountain pens, which is an automatic A+ in my book.
(Looking for paints?) This Location Has Near Everything You could ask for from an art store. They sell for a price that I can say is gonna be as high as the quality of what it is you buy. They are high end most definitely. Therefore if you are not willing to invest 50$ or more than this location may not be the one for you. I spent 70$ and got a comfortable variety of acrylics for myself. And I walked home with 8 tubes. Its hard because I want to buy all the colors but the spectrum is just too grand.. Regardless the eiseles are wayy too expensive. ..imo...as some of the standing models ranging upwards of 350$ after that idk if many people could afford the eisele, and a canvas with 10 colors! In conclusion this place is organized well and the people working there know what they are doing by making the atmosphere of color a little more fun to jump into!
Not only is it a great store for artists, but those interested in journaling and fountain pens will find many nice journals, fun, inexpensive, high-quality fountain pens (like Lamy) and several brands of ink, including many Noodlers inks.
An awesome local shop for any art supplies you need! Staff is always friendly and very knowledgeable about everything they have in store.
I went to get a fountain pen, with no previous experience. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. This is a great place to come see, even if you are not looking to get art supplies.
First time customer, and they have so much more, better art supplies than I could ever get at Michael's!
I love this store. Everyone is helpful and informative, they will do their best to get anything they don't carry but they almost always have what we need. The store is super fun to explore too!
Knowledgeable and friendly staff, lots of variety of art materials and mediums, various price points too. I've been here a few times and always enjoy the experience.
One of my all time favorite art supply stores. The staff is kind and knowledgeable. They have a broad array of supplies that never dissapoint me!
Huge selection of art supplies with all the charm and inviting nature of a small neighborhood shop. Easily one of the best art supply stores in the twin cities.
Great local art store! Staff are friendly and very helpful! I like to come in and shop for the experience rather than buying online!
This place is packed full of variety, tho the intrusive way customer service handles you, leaves much to be desired. Prices aren't reasonable, yet great variety like I said.
Unfortunately the workers many intrusive questions & consistent lurking,
IDK if I felt like the outcast in middle school..or a straight up criminal about 2 hold them up lol... My conclusion: I'll stick 2 the world wide web, where I'll also save $.
Great art store, lots of variety and range of merchandise. Most major artistic media served. Can be pretty spendy, but staff are helpful and knowledgeable and well able to accommodate people on a budget.
High quality supplies, knowledgeable staff, and they have a pretty diverse offeribg for classes. It's a small locally owned business so prices support that!
Very nice little art store - they were really helpful when I had to get supplies for college art classes
Good supply friendly staff.
My go to art store in the Twin Cities-very well stocked and organized with a staff of working artists who carry a great depth of knowledge and service that always brings me back. If I need a hard to find material or have a technical challenge I often start here.
Fan-damn-tastic lil store. No, it's not giant, but it's crammed with cool stuff. Look in all the corners and go through all the shelves--you'll find multiple things that make your jaw drop, like truly massive chunks of graphite and The Best Drawing Pads. I was there this past weekend and asked them to recommend a pencil sharpener. The owner pulled one out from behind the counter and demonstrated it, and even grabbed a prismacolor pencil off the shelf and sharpened it when I asked him if those pencils would survive it. The one he had was missing the desk clamp and he ordered a new one for me and would mail it for free when it came in. It didn't *quite* beat me home, but nearly! I think it was three days later when I saw it at my front door.
Great art supply store with all the basics covered from pencils, markers, and acrylics to paper, canvas, and framing. Product selection could be wider but not bad overall.
Friendly and helpful staff, and they've always had everything I've needed. More expensive, but higher-quality, than someplace like Michael's or Joann's. I like that it's locally-owned, too.
They are a St. Paul staple!! Friendly knowledgeable staff! Every supply you could want or need, and if they don't have it, they will order it. Best Art store in the cities!
The amount and variation of supplies is amazing. Prices vary between cheaper or more expensive than other stores for different items, but I was impressed with the options and the friendly staff. I really want to go back.
Best art supply store in the city- staff is super friendly and knowledgeable and they have pretty much everything you could need. Really easy to lose a couple hours here!
Friendly neighborhood art shop. Walk inside and you see enough supplies to make Van Gogh cry. Friendly staff are always willing to help, and the building's as clean as can be. Wonderful location.
Wet Paint was one of my happiest discoveries in Saint Paul. I love LOVE that they sell Schmienke and Daniel Smith watercolors and have an excellent array of fine papers including handmade. Their staff are knowledgeable, and patient, and and, well it is simply my favorite place to shop.
Helpful staff. They always know how to problem solve with me about a project. They also have the largest selection of oil paints around. I've never been disappointed.
Depth of product and excellent customer service. If I were to wish for anything, it would be fewer notebooks and more variety of papers. On the other hand, I just bought a slew of notebooks....
A store very convenient for a student like me, who wants to get a whole bunch of design materials at one time. Great holiday deals with a lot to choose from!
My favorite art supply store in the twin cities. I will drive way across town and pass other art does to get to this one. Their staff and inventory are the absolute best!
Amazing place! Everyone is friendly and very helpful. They have a great selection. Will definitely go back.
Excellent selection and friendly staff. It's a good size for an art store and a great location.

Love this local art supply store ans classes! The staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. It's my favorite place to shop.
I really liked this cute shop. Staff seemed easy to please with anything an artist could ask for. Will most definitely be back for supplies.
I have a love-hate relationship with this store. I love all of the wonderful art supplies you can get here. But I hate how hard it is to leave the store without buying everything!
It is an interesting little art supply store. I have bought a couple things there. The place just never has much of what I'm looking for. Not to mention Dick Blick is expensive, but these guys are more expensive.
Best art supply store ever! Incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff.
I always stop by this store once a year when visiting St. Paul. They have a wonderful selection and knowledgeable staff. I wish we still had a art store like this where I live!
Very good art store. Had exactly what I needed and then some! Customer service was fairly decent, and an overall very good experience for any artist. ~
They are sooooo helpful! I was starting a drawing class and had a list of supplies that I handed to one of the staff and she got me everything I needed, saving me a ton of time.
Pretty much the best art supplies shop around. They have a lot of great fountain pen stuff, and very helpful staff.
Very knowledgeable staff that are also very friendly. I need to check this place out again as I stopped by quickly for some acrylics and was on a schedule so I couldn't linger as I wanted.
Awesome local art store. Got really great help and found the stuff I needed
Knowledgable staff always there to help, amazingly cheap art supplies, always have some sort of sale, decent selection for almost all fine art passions.
This store has a ton of different supplies to choose from. Great selection. The prices are pretty high though, most likely due to the college being so close.
They are always very helpful and have great supplies. It's also a great place to find a unique gift! Shop local!
They are a great local arts supply store. They are more the happy to help you find what you are looking for and impart the knowledge they have about them.
