Horrible prices, but wide selection.
by CbgetwnGrl at Citysearch
You can practically get anything here and with a much wider selection than most of the art supply stores around atlanta (with an exception to Binders which is further north). However, they do carry a few things no others carry which makes it convenient knowing you wont have to go from store to store looking for something else. But I must warn- PRICES ARE DEFINITELY MORE EXPENSIVE. Also, this art supply store closes earlier than Utrecht and Binders so it is someone inconvenient in that aspect, especially if you have school and don't get out early enough. Nice paper selection.

Not for lovers of traditional painting supplies
by ibkc at Citysearch
The painting department is run by a crazy old woman who hates traditional art materials and who will chase you around beating you over the head with Gamblin propaganda if you attempt to purchase something that she disapproves of, like turpentine. That is a shame because this store is generally well stocked and well staffed, and it's also the easiest to get to of any of the Atlanta art stores. But since I do not like to be treated like a criminal when I buy turpentine or flake white, I go to the stores who will ring me up without harrassment. Blick in Roswell is good, as is Pearl and Binders in Buckhead.
- Pros: Pretty good selection
- Cons: Staff gets in the way of making purchases

Good Selection - Rude Cashiers
by alan_62 at Citysearch
My wife and I are artists and we love the broad selection of supplies that are available to us at SF. Most of the 'floor employees' are very knowledgable and helpful, but the cashier staff and some management seem to care less and can be very rude. It is really a day and night difference between the quality of the 'art' staff and the 'clerical' staff. Why can't the store hire all nice and knowledgeable employees for all positions?
- Pros: Good Selection and some very helpful 'Art' staff
- Cons: Cashiers with an 'attitude'. Poor clerical staff.
