  • This place is simply amazing. I had some framing done last week. Was done super professionally and very promptly. If I could give them 6 stars, I would!

  • I can't think of anything that you could possibly need for that next project that they don't carry here. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful, and they have many different price points for most items so there are options for the budget minded of us out there.

  • My wife and I purchased 2 beautiful canvas paintings in Jackson Square and needed to get them stretched so we could hang them. First we went to Michael's with a 70% off coupon and what we paid at David's Art Center for both paintings was cheaper than 1 at Michael's with the coupon. The service is excellent, very helpful and friendly . I will not waste my time at Michael's again and will return to David's Art Center for any art related needs.
