The pieces they have here are awesome! I hope to visit again during my next visit to Columbia.

Was just walking around town and saw the art gallery a really nice lady there.They do have very interesting pieces of art here the main area when you come in is a loft open space like it

My name is Gary Boggs this was myFirst time visiting this art store and gallery. Was greeted buy the most friendly and knowledgeable man ( Randy Hanna) . He was very helpful in getting the things I needed. I was impressed with the oil paint inventory,brush selection and canvas selection. The prices were awesome. I will be shopping here for my painting supplies from now on I love this store and the atmosphere. I will most definitely be a repeat customer and I recommend this store to everyone, five stars in my opinion.

Such nice people own the gallery, very helpful and involved, nice collection of art too and amazing multi levels space

First time there went for a reception. Place is beautiful. Staff wonderful

This is a beautiful gallery with a really nice variety of wonderful art. Wendy is great to work with. She’s a lovely person, and her customer service is outstanding - way beyond any expectations. I would rate her and the gallery 10 stars if that was an option. I highly recommend that you plan a visit even if you’re not in the market for art.

First time there. It was nice. I was busy working so i really didnt get the opportunity to look around

First class and unique space for all kinds of events and showings !! I have been to ALL kinds of happenings there...and the Nicest people !!

Randy was super patient and helpful in getting me prepared for my first art class.

We had a wonderful time at City Art. The staff was very accommodating.The bathrooms were beautifully furnished and clean. I danced barefooted some and my feet did not get dirty.It was nice that there were interesting and beautiful works of art on the wall that stimulated conversation and added to the decorations.The space was elegant and not a huge hall. There were places to explore upstairs and downstairs.It was reasonable to rent and I would do it again.

Such an amazing gallery! Wendy helped us out tremendously and let us host an interview in the space. Our production turned out amazing and we look forward to visiting again.

My company recently did a video/photo shoot using this space and it was fantastic. There’s also a gallery and robust art supply store downstairs . I thoroughly recommend for art lovers and anyone that needs a unique space for weddings, etc.

Great selection of art supplies. Very helpful

City Art was a wonderful venue for hosting a wedding reception for my girlfriends daughter recently. The staff were professional, courteous, very accomodating of our needs, and were very helpful with suggesting how and where to set up various stations for drinks, food and flowers. The art work was interesting and inviting. They ensured that everything ran smoothly all evening. Hard to convey just how pleased we were with the whole experience.

A great building makes this a perfect multi level setting for artists and their art works.

The pieces they have here are awesome! I hope to visit again during my next visit to Columbia.

Beautiful gallery with a great location. Staff was very nice!

My fiancé inquired about using the space for a wedding. The older lady who was at the venue was very rude, intrusive, and have no social skills when it came to dealing with another person. Asking questions that had nothing to do with the information we were seeking, she was short and acted like it was bothersome that we even asked.

Best art supplies store in Columbia. Small, but excellent selection. Staff is very helpful, and USC students get a 25% discount with a valid student ID!

What a great art store. First time in there and I’ve lived here for over 10 years. I’ll be back for sure, love to shop local. Gentlemen behind the counter is a bit brash, I would have liked a greeting coming in or a goodbye leaving. All in all a great art store that reminds me of back home.

City Art is a nice place to go to see a small local art gallery or shop at a locally owned art supply store. I always have a great experience there.

I shop here for specialty paper and also when I need to get more water color paint. Do usually have interesting things in the employees are very helpful much better than Michaels or Hobby Lobby if you are professional artist or trying to be a professional artist. Its the next best thing to artist and Craftsman supply, but the closest one to Columbia is in Charleston.

Great family owned business with all art supplies one could need

Perfect venue for events. Wonderful selection of art. Great place to buy art supplies, too.

It was a private party for one of the nicest people I know. The dinner, catered by Southern Way, was delicious.

City Art Is the best art store anywhere close to here (as far as I know this is the only fine arts supply shop in the greater Columbia area - don’t even think about the big box stores, they don’t have nearly the selection City Art does). Randy Hanna is wonderfully helpful, knowledgeable, nice and he is always ready to help brainstorm or advise on any art-related question or issue you need assistance with. I’ve been going here for probably 18 years or more and I’ve never been let down.It is also conveniently located in the Vista area of downtown, just off Gervais street.

I adore this place! A HUGE selection of quality art supplies at reasonable prices.The art displays are also excellent and the space itself is gorgeous & nicely rustic.

Great space with beautiful works of art.

A must visit for any artist or art lover. If they dont have what you need, Randy will get it for you. He also gives great advice if youre not sure what you need exactly. The gallery upstairs has a wide variety of intriguing pieces from local artists. I could spend a whole day between the gallery and the shop. They offer a 25% student discount, though Im not sure if it applies to non-local schools. Even without, his prices are comparable to chain art supply stores, often less, and the selection is far more extensive.

Had to come here to get supplies about a week ago. Fantastic service. They made sure to make sure I wasnt getting ripped off and getting the right things. 10/10 recommend.

I went to the art store and it was fantastic! One of the co owners talked to me while I shopped and told me a little history about the store. I really recommend

Nice little shop, and good prices. Im excited to come back!

My daughter had her wedding reception at City Art in June. It was a wonderful place! The setting is interesting and makes wonderful pictures. The black tablecloths, burlap runners and lanterns were perfect with the white lights, globe lights and exposed brick. There was space for the band, dancing, and tables downstairs and interesting art upstairs as well. I would definitely recommend this venue.

Friendly, knowledgeable service. Buy art from local artists or the most high quality art supplies.

Excellent art supplies!

Great art supplies and prices are not bad.

A nice variety of art in all medias. Definitely worth checking out.

Great Experience Here. Got a discount for being a college student too. The guy who works here (Dont know if he owned the place or not) knew a lot about art, and he and I had a decent conversation the entire time I was there.

Always a great gallery to browse. I went to find a birthday gift for a special friend and found the perfect thing.

Very helpful and knowledgeable. Had what I needed.

You can buy everything you need here but it is expensive.

The best art gallery and art supplies store anywhere. Fantastic people and stunning artwork.

Great resource for students and professionals alike. Best collection of art supplies under one roof in the Columbia area

Art supplies are mediocre. got a few things I needed but the man who runs the art shop is rude. first, he didnt acknowledge that I walked in the store, and as a small business owner going to another small business, this makes a big difference. second, he sat and played on his computer instead of asking if I needed help. third, he didnt get up for a good five minutes from his computer or even look in my direction when I was waiting to check out at the counter. I asked him for suggestions on where to find something, and he completely cut me off to talk to another customer on the other side of the store, yelling to respond to him. no thank you for your business, have a good day, nothing. wasnt planning on coming to spend any money but just to browse, and ended up with a $50 purchase. $50 was wasted towards a small community business and I wouldnt recommend this place at all.

City Art is incredible! I had my wedding ceremony and reception there! It was absolutely beautiful, perfectly intimate, and so much fun! All of my guest are still talking about it! Wendy was very professional, knowledgable of the space giving great advice, accommodating, and prompt with replying to emails and phone calls! I would 100% recommend City Art to anyone looking to have a truly magical evening that people will never forget!For logistics: I had 200 people, 5 food stations, 2 bars, a band, 10 standing cocktail tables, 6 tables for seating, and a few miscellaneous tables for the cake, presents, ect. And there was plenty of room! The space is much bigger than it looks with nothing in it!

Great atmoaphere! Good teachers.

Beautiful pieces. Great lofty feel.

Fantastic local art in a neat repurposed warehouse. The store in the basement has a great selection of art supplies.

Hella selection. Best in Columbia and all the surrounding cities. Really nice staff.

City Art is the absolute best art supply store in Columbia, if not all of SC. Period. And it is a gorgeous space.C Freeman

It is a nice place to get all arts supplies do you need, and also they offer Art clases for all ages.

Beautiful art.... wonderful staff

Was here for a Christmas party. Really neat venue!

Best art store and art supply store in Columbia.

Great venue for a company party.

Randy is the man, he will solve all art and life issues

College students get a 25% discount here. The supplies for art class were the cheapest here. Very friendly staff.

Nice venue

Nice visit

Very nice venue

Columbias premier art gallery and retailer

Too expensive to be in Columbia, SC and their selection of art supplies and materials is lacking.
