If your new to the area and looking for nice art supplies at a great price with knowledgeable employees this is your place.I’m an artist and this is where I head for the good stuff.I always find what I’m looking for here.They also have some fun art supplies for the kiddos and my little ones always enjoy tagging along.Parking is behind the building & free but should only be used when going to this shop and not strolling down Frazier, due to limited spaces.

Always offering great help to find what you need and will give advice. Theres usually some surprise thats on sale to give a try when I go in looking for something else. Love this place. Here is a picture of my last haul.

No framer beats what this place can do. They are truly masters of framing. The staff is always very helpful and friendly. They have a great inventory of art supplies for both the student and professional. Support local!

Great store but why are your hours so bad? I never understand why any shop would close on weekends or be only be open during hours that most people have to be at work. Willing to bet you would get at least 25% more business if you were open 6-8 rather than 10-6. Or open on weekends. Or maybe at least have an option to

Ive never personally purchased any products from this store, but I take my mom here fairly often to help pick up supplies for whatever art project has captured her interest and they seem to always have what she needs and/or can recommend an alternative based on her needs–lower price, different medium, etc.

They were so helpful in getting me a frame for my piece of artwork at a discount ! It turned out to be just what I wanted.

Ill just give you the facts. My aspiring artist and 10 year old wanted to check this place out and was on the hunt for a special pen which we found here. Nobody said hello or hi. What we picked out was priced incorrectly. If a purchase is under 5 dollars, it has to be cash.Would you go back?

Bought markers and colored pencils for school this year, my daughter was thrilled to get to pick out individual colors to make up her set of Stabilo markers. Cant wait to come back and get some gel pens, they have a great selection of sets and individual pens.We had to focus on the school art supplies this time but they also have canvases, paints, frames, all kinds of stuff (and they do custom framing too).P.S. if you are like me and are always stressed about where to park, there is a nice parking lot right behind the building.

Stopped here on our visit to Chattanooga and this little art shop had so much to offer! The front register girl was super helpful and so nice! Plus their prices were very fair for art supplies!

Great art store. Good prices and selection. Fun to shop and great staff.

Best selection of art supplies

Have always loved this place. So glad it is still open!

My friend, who is a professional illustrator and owns her own business, and I stopped in while we were visiting because I frequent the one by Hamilton Place. The entire time we had someone following us and watching as we went down every aisle, simply because of the way we were dressed (black pants, band shirts, black denim vests covered in band patches.) This sort of behaviour when we are talking quite normally about different mediums and what were going to be purchases made us leave because we noticed this hovering. She was hoping to pick up some new inks for washes, but not after that blatant judging upon appearance that we might steal something because of how we dress. I get watching sketchy people, but that was not the first time it has happened to us (or just me) in that store, despite having spent money there in the past. That was the last straw. We will not be giving them our money ever again, and maybe try to not judge people by their looks right off the bat next time.

Been going here for a few years and always have whatever I need for supplies or framing material.

I am thoroughly disgusted with this place. I just left the store after walking around for about 10 to 15 minutes and not once did anyone even make their presence known to me or ask me if I needed help. I honestly thought the store was empty. Within seconds of another customer walking in the girl literally tripped over herself asking if he needed help and just looked at me and didnt say anything.My daughter has an audition at a prestigious art school in Atlanta and I was ready to spend coin to get her portfolio together. Will never step into this establishment again but at least I got good ideas of products to buy off of Amazon.

The place was great! Inspired me durring my art block, and helped me get back into the swing of things! You may not have Caliart markers, but hey! It was an amazing experience nonetheless!

Best selection of art supplies in Chattanooga. I can get the good stuff (not the cheap junk that chain stores sell) without having to order and pay shipping. Lots of sizes of stretched canvas, papers, brushes and pens, etc. Too much to list. Love it!

Called and asked if they were hiring and the lady who answered was extremely rude. All she said was, “Mmm, no.” then hung up. They need to have a better team if they want a good image.

I love this place, they have a huge selection , especially considering the size. You can find everything from student grade paints, colored pencils, and watercolour to professional grade versions as well as inks, pigments and a large variety of papers and materials. The staff is exceptionally knowledgeable and always dedicate a lot of their time to help you locate what you are looking for and share there information with you. They have convenient parking in the back and offer framing services as well.

Owners are often at the store to greet customers. Every artists dream store. I stand in the pen aisle and breath in the atmosphere. Its my happy place 😊😍🦋🦋

Good art supplies

For the casual consumer of art-making supplies, the prices are very competitive with national online retailers, and the experience of holding the products before committing to a purchase is invaluable. I cannot, for example, imagine shelling out $30-50 on a fat oil brush without stroking the bristles myself; I can do that at Art Creations, and I cannot do it online. Add in that the staff knows whats up and the space itself is amazing and labyrinthine, and I could not hope for a better local art supply store.

Bought my first canvas from tony at 13. Great place

Needed a few things for one of my art class. Asked a worker where something was 2 times. i couldn’t find it so i went back a 3rd time and asked. they rolled their eyes and walked me to it and without saying a word, pointed to it and walked off.

Not a place for potters. But, If you like picture frames, canvases, and paint supplies this little shop might be the place for you.

Always been a great store with helpful and friendly service. They have a huge variety of art supplies plus custom framing. They have awesome local artists who instruct classes also.

Great prices in a family owned business, everyone is always super helpful and friendly

Very helpful staff and wide variety of supplies

Very nice people. Did a reasonably good job on framing a picture. The end product was nice. Did a less than stellar job listening to what I wanted. Probably a little over priced. Not prompt on service and pretty disorganized.Did a fair job. Probably would not go back

I get all my art supplies here. Great prices and everything a professional artist could want. Plus, the help is very kind.

Tony Mines operates a wonderful business in a genuine, friendly caring style. Thats why were long time satisfied customers!!

Great customer service and reasonable prices

A very nice shop and the staff was friendly also

Super helpful people, great service, and they have nearly everything I need

Nice place. Friendly service.

This is the best art supply house in Chattanooga.

Steps in the front and back of store, not baby stroller friendly at all BUT had exactly what I was looking for.

They have everything here!

Watercolor paints
