Jerry's Artarama Retail Stores - Virginia Beach

This store is definitely an artist playground. It has so many art supplies but I find that some items are little more expensive than Michael's. But you will also find things that Michael's don't carry. They have a free members club where you can take advantage of the items you purchase being at a discounted rate, just think of how grocery stores do. There's arrows on the ground to help navigate through Covid. Even though people don't pay attention to it much these days. Overall, there's good finds on most of my project needs.

Rows and rows and shelves upon shelves of great art suplies. I'm like a kid in a candy story at Jerry's artarama. People order so much stuff online these days. With art supplies I have to look and see, touch and feel before buying. Jerry's has it all. The PAINT BRUSH areas are my favorite. It can be overwelming they have so much, but that is were the staff are amazingly helpful.I was new to watercolor and as I stood looking at all the colors and brands I just got more and more discouraged. I was looking for the perfect skin tone. I asked and immediatley she walked me over and told me about all the brands and how they proform. Then she told me about the different colors to make different skin tone. I never knew and she made it so easy. THANK GOODNESS for such good people that work thereI think it is the BEST art supply store I have been in.

A wonderful Art Store! I came here in search of Copic markers and was pleasantly surprised at both the selection of art supplies and knowledge of the employees. Jenny and Salem went the extra mile and taught and demonstrated different ways of blending with the Copic markers and gave some advice on how to use them and what paper would be best for the markers. This was a very welcoming experience especially for not knowing much about art. There's also free coffee while you shop and free donuts on Monday! Definitely will be returning!

Just picked up a set of family photos we were having matted in a frame my father made. Their custom matting is amazing. I couldn't be happier with the results. The personalized service is unparalleled.

Brought my canvas here to get a canvas stretched and Stacy was fantastic! She gave me a estimate online for my canvas that was about 3'x4'. I dropped in the next day and everyone there is super friendly! Stacy measured it again for me and it was done within a few days. Super affordable compared to some of the bigger companies I looked into. Love this place!

This is a great place to get art supplies and paper the people that work there are really nice and seem to know the store very well. Are very good in suggesting stuff for particular job you might be doing I highly recommend going here. Young girl that was helping us At the counter was excellent And very helpful.

I love this store. When you walk in, you are greeted with shelves upon shelves of art supplies. I went Saturday for the learn pen techniques. The artist was there setting up with models and not quite ready when we walked in at noon. I choose several drawing pads for my budding artist and he roamed the store and drew on every available surface they had for testing. He finished roaming about 15 minutes later and sat down for a one on one session.First thing I noticed was the number of classes. They had an anime drawing class and the pen class. The store has several classes during the week and on weekends. Sunday was paint a rock Sunday with all supplies provided. The store was not busy, but there was a steady and consistent steam of customers. The cashier had little down time between answering the phone and ringing up customers. My kid finished the class, learned a lesson in depth and shadows. He left with a new technique and homework. The artist was there from noon till 4pm, plenty of time to get get a quick lesson. The plethora of art supplies draws me back. The discount card keeps spending. Take a class. Learn something new.

Best art supply store in the area. Staff was awesome and helpful! Definitely going back there again. Be sure to join the club for discounts.

Not the big box shop experience I expected.I was pleasantly redirected. I think I like this Art Store, Too!

As others have mentioned... a very clean and organized art supply store! Usually the art stores that I go to are super teeny and have a ton of things all crammed together in what can best be described as "organized chaos." Not Jerry's. Jerry's has a section for everything. And it's so neat! As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the staff and asked if I needed help locating anything specific. I was looking for sketch paper and a henna kit. The sketch paper is standard for an art store. However, they had the exact henna kit for which I'd been searching! Hence the five stars! As I was going through checkout, they invited me to sign up for the key tag club thingy so that I could receive special deals and offers. Who can say no to special deals? Right?! I wish that I had an art store like Jerry's in my neighborhood back in MD. I'll be sure to visit them for all of my art supply needs whenever I'm in town!
