PV Arts & Crafts

It's great to have a really good art supply retailer in our area. Owners Alan & Stephanie Campbell have a huge inventory of just about anything an artist or art student will need and if you can't find it, they can get it for you very quickly. The variety of art supplies is amazing. I am like a kid in a candy store here. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. Yes, there are online retailers and local big box retailers but I like to support local small business owners!

I visited this store for the first time, this week, as I was in the area for business. My first thought was "cool - a miniature Dick Blick (http://www.dickblick.com/ )" as they at one time had brick-and-mortar stores in Florida.As I wandered the store, though, I noticed a wonderful twist: in addition to traditional art supplies (including a new line of watercolors that may appear under the Xmas tree for my daughter), they also have an excellent selection of papercrafting & mixed media supplies. Whether you are a stamper, scrapbooker, art journalist, or whatever, they have something for you. I was able to complete my Perfect Pearls selection (including a few colors I didn't even know about), and added the complete Perfect Medium set, too (ink pad, refill, pens, etc.). But they go well beyond Ranger, as I also raided their stash of metal templates & vinyl stencils. For sure, I would visit this store again if I was in the area. Like I said, I may also be placing an order for the holiday season, too. :)They were cheerfully willing to ship my purchase to me (I only brought carry-on luggage). It arrived yesterday, in excellent condition.

If you're into crafts or painting this is the place for you. Whether novice or professional the staff is eager to help and answer your questions.

The best art store in Jax Beaches and Jax

I loved them when they were "Crafts and More" in Jax beach and I love them even more in this location. Great selection of paint brushes and there's always a sale. I do wish they had more selection of watercolor paint brands but they have both student and professional grade and the prices are reasonable. I also love that I can ask any questions about products and get knowledgable answers. Will continue to buy my supplies here.

Wooooooow- been doing art in Jax for years, but I'm so far on the westside of Jax I don't think PV arts came up when I would do a Google Maps search. This place is EXACTLY what I needed- waaaay better prices than ReddiArts (and selection honestly) and while I love Jerry's for quick cheapy bulk buys, they just don't have some of the brands I'm looking for (for instance Caran D'ache)- and *most importantly* THEY SELL SINGLES! I got SINGLES of:-Holbein artist gouache, -Daniel Smith watercolors, -PENCILS from Caran D'ache (had not tried the museum aquarelles, I did in store now I'm obsessed!) & pencils from Derwent-Brush pens from tombowThe list goes on...Not to mention staff is super knowledgeable, able to answer questions about product, and informed me of all the items on discount. Professional artist? Tell them! They have a program ;) Will I drive another 45 minutes to this store? YES, literally as soon as I get my next paycheck. The others are closer, but the selection here is *chefs kiss*

Great news! You don't have to 'cross the ditch' for your arts and crafts supplies at the Jax beaches. I accidentally found this store - wish I knew about it before (it doesn't show up on internet searches for Jacksonville because it is just over the line in St. John's County). Like a Tardis, PVA&C is bigger on the inside with a much better selection of fine art supplies n' wool than any chain/box store, and comparable craft supplies. Plus, not a long check out line & no need to hunt around for knowledgeable & helpful employees like at Michael's or Hobby Lobby ;-)Want to update your model railroad landscape, pimp your bullet journal, design wedding favors, keep the grand-kids busy on a rainy day, make jewelry, decoupage, or find a new hobby? This is your place and lots more besides.You'll also get free 'warm fuzzy ' feelings with every purchase for buying local.

I stopped in today trying to solve a technical problem I'm facing with my project. I had already stopped into the big name stores trying to solve the problem previously. The level of thoughtfulness and service I received at PV Arts & Crafts exceeded all my other efforts to get help. I highly recommend this store.

Wonderful Family owned art supply store. They have anything you might need for an art project. Canvases paints brushes along with scrapbooking paper stickers and diecuts. If they don't have it don't order it for you.
