I've been going to Woolfitt's on and off for years, ever since I was a kid and they were located on Dupont (back in the early '90s, I won a whole bunch of acrylic paints in a draw, which I still have). The current location is a bit brighter and more bohemian-looking, but the retail space might actually be a bit smaller, though I couldn't be sure. Regardless, they have a ton of top-notch art supplies here, and often have great deals.
Right now, for instance, their pre-stretched canvases are half price. If I didn't already have a bunch laying around at home that I haven't got around to using yet, I'd stock up. The last time I was there I did snag some free art-quality blank postcards, since they were giving them away for entry into a postcard-art contest (the prize is a couple hundred bucks in expensive paper). -

Woolfitt's, in keeping with its roll of the tongue name, has an easy setup to walk through. The staff are very helpful whenever and for whatever you need them. I have purchased paints for my niece where I was more concerned about them being more free from chemicals (in case she was dumb enough to try them - though with the colours vibrancy I suppose you couldn't quite blame someone). I managed to put together a great starter kit with affordable paints, brushes, and half priced canvases. I have purchased different weights and colours of paper, pens, pencils, sharpeners, coloured pencil crayons, paints, etc. All of it has been of great quality and what's better, discounted up to about 20 percent on some things if you are a member. (I don't think that involves more than signing up for newsletters - but don't quote me, i did it long ago when I first started going.).
Only minor faults are the paying parking lot. I guess that's just one fault. -

I came here on the prowl for construction paper in 30 different gradients of orange, and Woolfitt's rose to the occasion, and then some. The cute art clerk happily helped me track down the extremely affordable paper and didn't once ask what sort of bizzaro art project I was working on. Nor did he even clue in to the fact that I flunked out Mrs. Fernandes' grade 9 art class with an F grade of 19 or that people literally run screaming at the prospect of being partnered with me in Pictionary. I may not be the artsy type, but I was more than welcome in this artist mecca.
