My muralist husband and I have been frequenting Visual for quite a while now, and always find their selection to be excellent. Jason is knowledgeable, friendly, a family man, and always makes us feel like we are visiting an old friend and not a business. Yes, the prices are high, but any experienced artist will understand that quality traditional art supplies come at a premium, and you will not find any cheap supplies at Visual. The adjoining gallery is bright and welcoming, and features a rotating selection of lowbrow art for sale at reasonable prices for interested collectors. Free stickers and buttons are also generally offered. Overall, highly recommended.

In an effort to support local business in my new community I decided to walk the 10 blocks to this store rather than the easily accessible Michaels near my place. I checked the business hours, Sundays 12-5 and was on my way. Upon arrival the door was locked with no one inside, the same business hours posted on the door as online. So I called twice, leaving a message with my name, number and a request for a call back in order to make my purchase another time. A week went by, no call back. I found myself in the area with my roommate so I decided to stop in again. I believe Jared is the name of the owner and who we came in the door to. I asked if he was the owner “depends on who wants to know” he sharply replied. I asked him if he had gotten my call last weekend, he said yes. Long pause....Asked why he didn’t feel inclined to call back or make an effort to reach out in any way. He said if I would have waited longer outside I could have gotten my supplies because he was “just in the back.” How long was I supposed to wait outside for??? We exchanged a few more argumentative words that aren’t worth typing before my roommate and I eventually left, looking each other dumbfounded. It wasn’t the fact I had to go back a second time but the gross attitude and lack of rationale and respect the owner displayed that I can’t handle. A shame because it looks like a nice shop with a great selection, but that isn’t the way to run a business.

Great and frequent art shows! Excellent quality and variety of art supplies! I'd MUCH rather shop here than Blick's for my art supplies. There's always great art on the walls, and the shows are a lot of fun. I go to many of the openings because they're really neat and the themes are so original. They have good music spinning, and you can meet the artists and buy the art. I bought two pieces of art from local artists at the last show-- it's nice to be able to afford art at an art show for a change. These are local artists so I'm very happy to support them.
