Prices were a little steep and the youth paint options were limited but the customer service was awesome. I didnt know exactly what I wanted but was warmly and knowledgeably guided to a wonderful purchase.
SO MANY SUPPLIES. Great selection of high quality art supplies, I was able to quickly get everything I need. During quarantine they have a walk up window, you tell the staff what you want, and then they bring a selection of options for you. Great shopping experience!
Arch is a great place . staff are very helpful there. parking is plentiful . only downfall is everything is under construction in the area . other than that it is great place to go for resources
Real nice place. They got a lot of art supplies. Good variety. Good stop for art class supplies if your a local student or teacher. One of the few local art businesses of SF with a wide selection. Love coming to this place. There is parking available to customers. If I need art stuff I always come here.
We were on our way to a local chain art supply, but parking was hopeless and we had seen this sign on 7th for art supplies this way. Parking was super easy, staff friendly, layout nice and easy and not at all crowded. Yep...that was the place to go!
Solid supplies, way helpful staff
What a great hidden gem. Really cool art store.
Had to go there to get supplies for a summer are program for my daughter, of course we were instantly overwhelmed with all the stuff they had. The super friendly staff had no problems getting our list complete and were able to order the 3 items they didnt have on hand.Extremely reasonable prices and parking!!
Fantastic Art store, tucked away in some strange corner of potrero hill.Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable.
Best art supply store Ive found in the city.
Not nearly as big as blicks but its got a good selection of
Love the beautiful wherehouse space. So much space, so little merchandise! They had oodles of things at the previous location with less than half the square footage. What gives?
Has everything including expert advice if you want it. Parking. Great spacious space.
This is hands down the best art and architectural supply store, at discounted prices too. I also get the best gifts here. The staff is so knowledgeable.
Place is great. Good selection, not as good as block obviously, but the staff friendliness is where they shine. Cant beat it
Open later than other art supply store in that party of town with competitive prices on some items, like paint brush sets and acrylics. the staff was friendly and helpful.
Knowledgable and kind staff with high quality materials. And great parking. Ill be back
Arch is a stop when I want unusual one of a kind notebooks or novelty items. I knew them from their old location in North Beach. They have drawing classes and they serve the local art schools in the Design District of San Francisco. Very much worth a visit if you are in the neighborhood.
Spacious whimsica,l and friendly. Creatively stocked sale items.
Great art supply store. Good prices and good, attentive staff. 10/10 would give them my business again
I mostly stop in for nifty cards and fun gewgaws, but it has a nice selection of art supplies and is just plain neat.
Owner of store was very helpful in helping me select art supplies for my niece. Great selection of brands and a wide variety of supplies for various projects.
Great stock of materials and tools
Best art store in the city for architecture supplies.
I like the selection of supplies here. I picked up LePen Technical Drawing pens, Hunt 102 nibs, and Copic SP replacement nibs. Pretty cool location! They were also very nice.
Great place to get specialty art supplies, handmade paper, unique gifts and a little bit of stationery.
ARCH is awesome. There are so few resources like this in the city and they are a great one. Lots of cool and unique stuff. glad they found a new location. Just as cold/drafty as the old one ..
Super nice - helped direct me to what I needed even though it meant I would actually be purchasing from someone else!
Liked the unique nature of this art supply place, so used to those chain places. Friendly sales staff, no annoying customer retention schemes.
Really unique experience for sure.
Being a California College of the Arts student, I find the value and location perfect. The goods can get a bit pricey so dont get carried away with all the pretty supplies. But if you want quality art supplies and quality assistance on products, Arch is amazing. Its also a great place to get gifts, you cant go wrong!
My favorite place to go. PLUS: they have parking lot here. A variety of supplies for art majors such as interior design, art craft, and painting, etc.. Affordable price, helpful service. However, they often ran out of supplies that I need.
It is a haven for artist needs. The price is not that bad.
Amazing variety of supplies, super friendly!
Wonderful little art supply store with a whole lot of heart. This is my go-to place for the basics: fine quality brushes, canvas, boards, pencils, oil paint, papers, etc. It has also become my go-to store for fun quirky gift items like kitty clocks, wooden toys, rubber stamps and more. I heart ARCH!
Really great Art Vibe and a really great relaxing area
A staple in the Dogpatch/Potrero neighborhood, it’s good to see ARCH in a nice location again. Always knowledgeable and friendly staff available to answer your questions regarding a wide range of art, drawing, and writing supplies. Lots of unique gifts, pens, and stationary too.
Great selection, tons of advice avaulable and f you ask
Great people here.
Spacious, friendly supply with a decent to good selection and best of all, no hassle parking, pure gold in SF!
Always has what I need.
Good selection nice space easy parking friendly helpful staff
So impressed to the selection of items here. They dont carry products by like every manufacturer, like from Rembrandt to ShinHan to Grumbacher like Blick, but they carry great quality and affordable necessities like Winsor & Newton and Daniel Smith, which are what exactly artists need. Im happy to finally find empty watercolor pans and metal boxes and 4ml tiny Koi water brushes which I had a hard time finding in SF.
After four recent trips to Blick on Market Street (where each time they were out-of-stock on items I required), I was lucky to discover ARCH Art Supplies just a few miles away. Located in a spacious warehouse, with knowledgable staff (and visiting artists who demo), my $20 budget turned into a $200 purchase because they know how to treat a customer.
Nice local art store that I find handy when in need of crafty, gifts and stationary ideas! Awesome customer service and super nice folks.
Respectable amount of supplies, plenty of parking and relaxed, friendly service
Good materials, and supplies. More expensive than competitors.
Great selection, plenty of parking.
Variety of quality art supplies and knowledgeable staff. If they dont have something in stock theyll order it for you.
Really great store. ..all kinds of art supplies and fun gifts!
Charming art and architecture supply store. In an offbeat location but worth looking for...
Fabulous art store with great materials, especially the homemade pigments.
Looooove this place!
Since their move it feels like they arent as well stocked. Still a great supply store though.
Great customer service, great supply of items. Student discount.
They have a student discount. They carry a wide variety of things and were very helpful.
Has everything you arty folks will ever need
This art store is absolutely darling. I wanna live her and craft the day away.
