Pearl Art offers a large selection of arts and crafts. They have fine product lines and only carry the best. Some of the products include brushes, paints, portfolios, canvases, and crafts. Around the holidays is when I visit them. They usually have unique displays out and very decorative. They have a friendly staff and they are always making sure you find everything that you need.

Pearl Art & Craft Supplies Inc. has a wonderful selection of both art and craft supplies- everything from canvases and paints to needlepoint materials or anything else that you could ever hope to see. Its the perfect store for a serious artist or crafter who wants a place to get all their supplies. The prices are good and the staff knows what they are talking about and wants to help you. If you are artistically inclined I hightly recommend that this become your one stop shop for supplies.

Pearl has everything you need for you art supplies. I went here because I needed supplies for an art class. They had everything I needed at a reasonable price. Compared to other stores like Office Max and Office Depot, I would much prefer to go to Pearl. They also have advertisments with things on sale to make it even cheaper. I bought a big sketchbook for about three dollars compared to 8 dollars at other stores!

Pearl could have been a nice store if it had much more variety. But it does not and the prices are way too high. the location is pretty bad as well - located in Market street in not such a safe neighborhood.

I have been going to this art store ever since I was a little kid. They alway shave everything that I am looking for and the prices are very cheap. I would recommend this store to anyone who is looking for art supplies.

this is the best art store in san francisco. certainly the biggest too. there are a lot of cheap deals, but sometimes they are out of stock if you need something for class. but besides that, it is great!

If you enjoy any form of art, this is your store. They have drawing boards, embroidery strings, craft foam, paint, etc. When they have a sale, a lot of their products go for very cheap! The staff here are pretty nice. This store benefits those who are students because you get discounts!

This is a great place to shop for Art Suplies and the prices are excellent. I usually always find what I am looking for in this store. The only thing I wish would change is if they could be just a little bit more organized, because I always have to search for things.....I never know where to look......

You can find just about everything, art supplies related, you need at this store. They also have great prices and student discount. Their paper selection is very big and really cool stuff.

I've always had a special place in my heart for Pearl Art Store. It's not nearly as nice looking as Flax, the feeling of the place isn't as inviting, I don't even think they have the selection of Flax, but my vote will always go to Pearl. It's located on market near 6th street, which is kind of a shady part of town, but in my opinion, flax could be a little too clean scrubbed. I like the grunginess of Pearl. And I think it's a little cheaper too.

Pearl is an art supply store located in downtown near the shopping center and other great stores. This place has a lot of materials for any art project you want to start. When I feel like making jewelry, I go here and look for the materials i need to start. They have almost everything i need. Sometimes i have to request some items, but everything works out, the product arrives in stock as promised. Pearl sells beads, chains, ribbons, journals, paints, etc.

Pearl's is a cool place on Market street that has discount and surplus art supplies. The location is great because it's right in walking distance of two other more pricy art supply stores, the Academy of Art's store and Utrechts. Also the store is right on the BART line. Usually, I check at Pearl first, and then if they don't have what I need, I walk over to the other stores. The bottom floor of Pearls is all different paints and brushes of various qualities and prices and the stock is always changing, sometimes you can find some pretty good deals. The upper floor of the store is all papers, canvasses, canvas boards, and books. I always find the best deals on student grade canvases here. They also give a discount to students, so bring your student ID.
