I absolutely love this place and am heartbroken that Im moving further away than Id like to drive. Any time I make a trip to Boulder it will absolutely include a visit to this shop though. Ive gotten so many great items for my sewing addiction here its insane. I cant recommend this place enough.

This place is the best!! I recommend it to all my friends as soon as they say they want to try a new craft or project but they don’t know where to get supplies. Art Parts has everything you could need for virtually any art or craft project at ridiculously cheap prices. It’s so fun to visit and peruse the supplies for every craft you can think of - paper, beads, fabric, yarn, wood, paints, metals, craft books, and more! There are boxes filled with delightful tidbits - puzzle pieces, buttons, pins, stamps, postcards, and so on. If you like making things you have to visit this store. It’s fun to peruse and incredibly inexpensive. It’s also volunteer-run and the people who work there are very helpful and sweet!

Found this place yesterday and I’m so happy I did. The nicest ladies work here and they’re so helpful. You can find anything from tin cans to magazines to fabric to sewing machines (usually vintage) to metal marking materials to art (watercolor, chalk, drawing pencils, etc) to pill bottles to jewelry making to rotary cutters to more. I got a 60mm rotary cutter for $8 (these things are usually expensive- I got an 8 mm one for $20 new), tailors chalk pencil for $1, an embroidery machine (brother pe 770 usually around $800 new and you can barely find them for below $500 used) for $200 all in great condition and some other things I don’t remember the prices of. The prices are extremely fair and honestly a big bargain AND you’re helping the environment. I could spend a day here finding amazing things and still have so much stuff to look at.To the people complaining they don’t have a good selection or that they’re making a huge profit margin - it’s basically a thrift store for art supplies. If you want guaranteed items then go to another supplier. People who go to thrift stores know sometimes you come home empty handed or sometimes you get an amazing steal bc it’s something you’ve been looking for at a fraction of the price. But that’s the price you pay to get it. If anything go here and then go to Joans a couple blocks away. Also again this place has to other bills to pay u like online resellers.Also a great place for someone who wants to get into art/but can’t afford the art supplies or want to try something new without the commitment or parents who don’t want a kid to drop the new hobby they’re learning.

Had no idea this store existed until today and wow - I could spend hours here. I did spend hours here. Great prices, friendly staff, and a very interesting selection that I still have yet to thoroughly peruse. I think I found my primary store for all my framing and matting needs.

We dropped off more fun supplies than we purchased. This shop has a pleasant vibe. The folks who work there are friendly and helpful. Their helpfulness is genuine and refreshing. I very much liked the artwork that was for sale. I think of this place as a lucky find.

Review №18

Absolutely loved this store, there should be stores like this in every city! If youre looking for interesting thrifty finds, this is the place. I was impressed by the extensive yarn collection and all the different antique and odd paper finds. If you do any type of art or craft work youve gotta stop by here. Especially art students, you can save a lot of money here shopping for your supplies. Staff was so friendly and prices are very reasonable. It was also fun to check out the local artwork displayed here.

I just returned from a delightful shopping trip to Arts Parts. Was amazed and impressed by such a lovely and supremely organized store that offers everything from yarn, to beads, collectors items , art supplies of every kind , stained glass, tools, etc etc. But the most delightful of all was the owner of the store who exudes charm and enthusiasm. It was truly a fun experience and I recommend that you drop by to browse. There is something for everyone who is interested in arts and crafts.

A great place to find all sorts of art supplies and materials to creatively reuse. An eco minded artists dream. Also great for crafty kids; lots of inexpensive materials to choose from. Friendly staff. I love supporting them!

Review №25

A secondhand store for art supplies: fantastic! It also has lots of odds and ends that can find a second life in art, such as old keyboard keys. I love that I can donate stuff from previous projects, thus clearing it out of my house, then cheaply buy what I need for projects Im actually excited about. Much more tidy and organized than I expect at a secondhand store.

Amazing prices, helpful staff, and inspiration everywhere.You can donate those items you have been holding onto for years cluttering up your closet (keys, ribbon, pretty paper, loose buttons, etc), and feel good that they will find a new home.PLUS, you can buy items for your crafts that wont put you out of business, and even help improve the costs of your art work so that more people can afford it!PLUS PLUS they host workshops and birthday parties for kids and adults.PLUS PLUS PLUS there is always something new and exciting to explore on the sales floor.I cant say it enough, this is definitely a nonprofit in Boulder/Denver area that you have to check out.

What a gem! It is so fun to look around here and come up with gifts and projects to make, plus their selection of original art (much of it $5 or less) is unreal! I have framed several pieces that I bought at Art Parts.

This place is amazing! Fun and amazingly priced finds in every drawer and corner. Check out the large glass slides from CU Boulder environmental sciences. Theyre architecture projects from the turn of the century and theyre beautiful.

I bought a 6 foot by 3.5 foot canvas here and the staff was so friendly about helping me get it home. One employee even offered to call her husband to help. I love shopping here and supporting second hand industry

Review №37

There are a lot of interesting things at this store but I didnt get the feeling that there was much I would use as a painter unless I was someone who likes to glue stuff to canvas for 3D works. There was a lot of yarn but not so much for quilting. Definitely a cool place though.

I adore this store & drive once a month or so from Loveland. Ive watched it blossom and grow in to a stunning amount of unusual and eclectic products that are mostly priced right for Artists & Crafters.Yes - some items are over priced.Yes - it can be a bit overwhelming.YES its very White Lady old hippie Bouldery.Yes they will tell you they rely on volunteers & the $ you spend helps pay the rent in Boulder which is insane -they will tell you that stuff. If hearing that makes you uncomfortable thats on you.

They rearranged it and I cant find anything! Wish they had magazines for collage on the cheap. They have art mags for 50 cents which isnt bad. Some Stuff Is expensive, Some cheap. Over all... addictive

My family really loves to support Art Parts because we like their mission. Its so important to reuse and reduce waste. Last year they offered a teacher and homeschooler discount (for back to school) which was great and we took advantage of it. I do feel like sometimes certain things are overpriced.. but we dont shop at Michaels or Jo-Anns because of the intense chemical smells inside of those stores due to all the toxic merchandise they sell. SO, we would rather support Art Parts! In the past weve bought paint, beads, paper, wooden materials, crafting project materials, etc.... We are repeat customers and will continue to be.

Some things are cheap but many of their supplies are more expensive than buying new! Paint was dry in containers. I will not be returning.

Its was okay. A pricing formula of 66% of retail when most of the art materials are donated seems a little steep. Just saying.....Too rich for my blood, however.
