The Best Art Store Around!!
by mstrigg at Citysearch
I have gone to Swains for over 20 years. I still have an Art Center Discount card from 1984 they STILL honor. They have added scrapbooking and other stuff but I still love their selection.
- Pros: Great selection of real art supplies

Nice selection, lousy customer service

Swains has a large variety of art supplies and other items. They are slightly on the pricy side, but I don't mind paying a bit more for one stop shopping. I think I'm going to shop elsewhere from now on, however, because of the repeatedly indifferent, rude, dismissive customer service. I work hard for my money, I don't want a best friend, but I'd like a smile and a thank you.
- Pros: Selection, Clean Layout, Easy parking
- Cons: Customer Service, Price, Closes early

If you're looking for art supplies and live in the Valley (near Encino), then this is the closest place I've found with TONS of variety. They have a big sale 1x or 2x's a year and you can get GREAT deals. One of my fave places to browse. I haven't had any problems with customer service in all the times I've been in there.
- Pros: convenient location, wide variety, Fun to browse!
- Cons: expensive
