Art Mart might be my favorite place in Muncie. The experience is SO much better than the big box stores because their employees are so willing to hear about your project and your exact needs, and explain differences you might otherwise not know the answers to. They’ve helped me with what paper I should use for certain materials, as well as helping me choose which paints will create the truest color blends. Plus they have seasonal sales! Good for students, definitely, but also for anyone wanting to try a new supply!

Art Mart is a godsend. They have all the supplies art students may require and are always pricing things as fairly as they can. The staff members are incredibly kind and willing to help you every way possible. Id wish I could give them more stars! Also the shop cat is a fantastic bby.

I receive tons of care and attention every time I come in. Staff are super friendly and helpful!

No paint thinner?? What a joke

Great store, helpful staff, surprising selection, good prices. Jabba is the sweetest!

Is depicted as a shop that sells tattoo supplies but only sells transfer paper and gel. Still friendly curious service though

This is mostly an art shop for people who traditionally draw. Lots of pencils and charcoal. There are also many different types of paper pads and ink. Some calligraphy sets were available. If you are a local artist, please support this business

Today was my first of what will be many visits to Art Mart. The woman working there, Karen, was super nice and offered to order something we couldn’t find and Jabba the cat let me pet him so it was pretty much a perfect experience.

Family owned. Friendly staff and store cat. Great selection of art supplies

Everyone you encounter at Art Mart is incredibly knowledgeable, curious, and friendly. If you have any art questions, especially about what materials to purchase for your project, your questions will be answered and with your own interests at the center of their suggestions. I cant say how many times other bigger art supply stores will try to steer you into the more expensive option, but folks at Art Mart will help you find the best option. For anyone who is a serious artist or someone who wants to pick up a hobby or is looking to wrap up a project, Art Mart is the best place to go!

The owner, Karen, is very helpful. I enjoy working with a local business who cares about community

I absolutely love this place!! I get things here that I cant get anywhere else. Im rarely in Muncie anymore since I graduated from Ball State, but whenever I am in town I make sure to make a quick stop at Art Mart. The staff is also really helpful and friendly. The office cat is also a plus in my book. Its tiny and out of the way, but it always seems to have exactly what I need as a designer.

I have enjoyed getting my art supplies here the past four years. The individuals working are always willing to help out, even finding the small things! They are truly a blessing and it is a great store!

I recently went to the art mart, and found many types of pens, brushes, and calligraphy items. The staff was very friendly as was the cat. The prices are reasonable for the quality and what they have to offer. If you are doing an art project or just want to do something creative, I reccomend this place.

They have a lovely cat and great customer service! They also have just about everything you need for the basic classes at Ball State for a good price.

This is a great local store. They have a wide variety of high quality supplies, helpful and polite employees, and a great atmosphere. I have never had any problems with service and they work hard to get you the best deals they can. Their prices are higher than that of say, Hobby Lobby, but they are a local store and also are catering mainly to serious artists and the art students at Ball State. The wide variety of brands to choose from is also a big plus. All the employees are artists and love talking about art and are very open about their brand preferences. You will always get high quality supplies from Art Mart. I highly recommend it.

Incredible staff with so much knowledge and best supplies in town. Theyre always ready to help out the Ball State and art communities and I always go to them for my art shopping.

Very knowledgeable and have everything you need for the artist in your life.

Great local store with great people. Everything an art student would ever need. Only downside is that it is a little pricey.

Diamond in the rough. Employees are great and helpful. The place has great selection and is actual an art store not a Michaels.

Super friendly and helpful staff with a great selection of products.

Love Jabba the cat. Love the staff. Love the place and selection

As a geologist, Art Mart is where I always buy my mapmaking supplies. Its a locally-owned small business, and employees are always friendly and helpful. What more could you ask? A sweet, fluffy shop cat, you say? They have one of those too!

Art Mart stocks a wide range of medium and high-quality art supplies which are reasonably priced, its proximity to campus make it a student favorite as well as a community staple. Additionally, the staff are always friendly and ready to assist with smart advice and quick service.

My #1 art store! Great stuff!

This is the best place in Muncie to get art supplies. Im an architecture major at Ball State and let me tell you, this store is a god send. The prices are fair, and the staff is unbelievably friendly. Definitely check out this mom and pop shop for your next art project.Also, dont forget to say hi to Jabba the Cat!

Great place for art supplies, staff is extremely knowledgeable about both the supplies being bought and the artistic processes being used.

While in Muncie, SHOP HERE FIRST for art, calligraphy and technical writing supplies. Don’t hesitate, forget the dumb-dumb big box joints on McGalliard, simply stop in the Art Mart and get it done.If Jabba the Cat & his human colleagues do not have what you need, it can likely be ordered quickly at a competitive price.If Jabba cannot order it, expect to find expert, friendly, experienced, PERSONAL advice on how to obtain what you seek from a dedicated staff of real artists. No inept retail droids here.In all seriousness, the Art Mart— while small in retail space— carries a solid selection of materials and gear professionals, students and amateurs will recognize and appreciate.I am an amateur calligrapher and experienced fountain pen fan. Until I discovered the Art Mart, I catalog ordered my gear from Amazon and a couple East Coast retailers. Theses folks have gone out of their way to cater to all my needs without failure and I love that I can walk in and buy what I seek in person... in Muncie !They are also Indiana’s only Noodler’s Ink dealer as of 2018, a welcome bonus.If you need quality ink, pens, fine writing supplies— and most importantly ADVICE— do yourself a favor and stop in. Nobody in town can match the service, you won’t be disappointed.

Nice little art store. Staff is very helpful.

Really well priced supplies, and the staff is far more knowledgeable and helpful than youd get with online stores.

They have everything you need.. if youre a bsu student.

I like exploring this store--they have good selection with reasonable prices. Plus, theres a cat named Jabba who is really sweet!

A relaxed and fun shopping expierence. This particular art shop is run by an artist who appears to be quite down to earth. The atmosphere feels creative and fun. I would definitely reccomend shopping here.

Great place to get all the art supplies you need!! Plus I love the cat!

Convenient place to buy good quality art supplies

Very knowledgeable and friendly!

I walked in and showed them my supplies list for class and they grabbed everything off the shelf for me.

Helpful, friendly staff, very competitive pricing, and a great shop cat! Support local business and keep our money in Muncie
