They have a truck load of Winsor Newton brushes 1.00-2.00 dollars a piece in assorted sizes. All Pacon Construction paper is 25% off.
And the staff is super cool - very helpful and knowledgeable and can usually tell you from first hand experience what a product is like or how to use it. Ask them about any kind of project you're working on and they will give solid advice on what products you need. If they don't have something in the store, they'll direct you to where you can find it.
The prices are the best around on most items and A&C has just about the best prices on canvas and cradled boards out there.
It's easy to get to with plenty of parking and it's right next to Friendly's. What's better than art supplies and ice cream? Located southbound near Starbucks, Friendly's and before the Hilltop Steakhouse.
