Lots of cool stuff here, if you are an artist, your mouth would water the moment you walk thru the front door. Even rare brushes you cannot find anywhere else is here... prices not too bad either.
4Discount store of the discount stores -Amsterdam Art. I would love to go there all the time but unfortunately the cariety of items is not that great. Prices are great, though
4Amsterdam Art, a local homegrown art supply house, has been a great supporter of arts in the public schools, gives discounts to teachers to help them bring art into the classroom and has even given small grants and donations of supplies to teachers who want to expose students to the art process. I personally have made many trips to Amsterdam Art's University Ave (corner of Univ and 9th I think) store for classroom supplies, materials for my art projects, great stuff for my own kid, and birthday presents.

Amsterdam Art has one of the hugest selections I have ever seen. They have two floors of products, from beads and feathers to oil and pastel paints. The products are fairly easy to find, but if you have trouble, the staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful.
5This is an art supply store geared to professional artists. You will find canvas's, oil paints and all the accessories for painting. Special cutters, pens of all kinds. Skeching pencils and pads. And many items I can't even identify. But occasionally I do need supplies that I can only find at Amsterdam Art.
PROS: Art supplies for professional needs
CONS:
