Besides a supervisor lady that kept following us around asking what we were looking for, it was an enjoyable time shopping. She wasnt asking anyone else in the store and it made me feel as if I was being followed. I will definitely be back there again, awesome cause behind the store and you can find some great finds. I just hope next time I can shop in peace instead of being looked after.

A great place to pick-up some inexpensive arts and crafts.They take donations to help others with affordable ways to get crafting.The best part it helps developmentally challenged people to learn skills and gives them financial support.

Great store, love what they do and represent. So many great deals and finds! Be sure you have time to look thru everything. I thought 1 hour would be enough but I wanted to keep looking! I wish other staff would jump in more ro help. So bring patience too. Its worth it!

I LOVE this place! Today was teacher day, so they had a special. I got some things for my lessons and to stay organized, plus some additional stuff to play around with. They run other specials regularly. Its a crafters paradise, with tons of unusual finds. You cant really go in with an expectation of getting a particular thing - its more the kind of place where what you didnt know you want finds you - but you will always find those things you will get tons of use out of if you are someone who uses any sort of crafting or sewing supply on a regular basis. Highly recommend!

Store is stocked with donated items so inventory changes a lot. They had free upholstery material which I got quite a bit. I will be sewing them together to make covers for animals in the pound for their cots.

I love this store. There is always a treasure to find for an artist, no matter what their gift is. Thank you SMART for helping those with mental health conditions. Thank you for giving us crafters a place, not only to buy at a good price by buying, helping them also. May God bless you

It was the worst craft/art store ive ever been to. Was more of a very used & abused office supply store that was a bunch of stuff from the 70s that no one wanted.

Tons of cool stuff! Found some highly sought after vintage patterns for next to nothing! Fabric section was organized by colour and the pieces (varied in size and type) were large enough to make a small garment. Went on the $10 basket sale day, and sure glad I did. Definitely will come back next time Im in town! πŸ’–

Review β„–36

This is a wonderfulplace. It has craft and art supplies that are donated. There are different things every time you go. It fosters creativity because you see all these random supplies together. I always come away with new ideas and reasonably priced stuff. The last time I went looking for a present for a 3 year old girl, my niece, I got a fuzzy zebra striped hat box and filled it with crayons, markers, glue sticks, little pom poms and construction paper. She loved it! Another special thing is that this store contributes to autism causes.

Smart Art does an awesome job making sure to follow recommendations for cleaning and sanitizing for COVID. They had hand sanitizer and clean baskets at the door. Mask were required (as is current policy for Nashville). I feel some prices were a bit high, but overall affordable and good deals.

Talk about finding treasures. This place is packed full of them. Great location for teachers, Sunday school activities, crafting, or just looking for random things you didnt even know you needed. Plus, they offer classes of all sorts. Fun for the entire family.

Review β„–47

I heard about this store and its mission on the news one day but didnt realize where it was until one day I happened upon it while taking a ride with my husband. First thing I saw was yarn on the window and I was jumping out of the truck!!! After my first visit, I was hooked! Literally! Coming from a former Voc Rehab employee, this store has it going on because it employees people with disabilities and what an awesome job they do! I love their work ethic, how organized and well kept the store is and their sales are outstanding!!!! I’ve always found their yarns to be an excellent price! Last time I was in the store, I came out with 16 hanks for less than $80!!! Usually these hanks will go for $25-$38/ea at retail price. I got them for $4-$5/ea. I got all kinds of colors too! I love this store!!!! Please never close!!!! Us craftaholics need you!!!! Lol!

If you dont shop here you are missing out! I NEVER walk out of this store without something awesome. Its my go to BEFORE I shop on Amazon or hit up Walmart because they usually have what Im looking for at a fraction of the price!

SMART is one of my favorite places in town! I call it a thrift store for craft supplies, and I love perusing the shelves to find the perfect items for a project Im working on. Laurel and her team are enthusiastic and so much fun to talk with about creative projects. Dont forget to drop off your unused or leftover craft and art supplies to support this great organization!

Review β„–50

We stop in about once a month. I love having a place to donate items that seem useful but would be hard to re-home instead of throw away. We take spools from my husbands wire, cardboard shipping tools, left over craft supplies, etc. My boys love to go and pick up bits and pieces for their projects- corks, popsicle sticks, felt, sequins, etc. I love the huge assortment! And its so neatly organized and priced. My favorite to buy is stamps and yarn, so much cheaper than the craft store!! And helping a good cause to boot. I highly recommend you check them out!

The SmART Store is an amazing place! Do you LOVE art!? Do you love crafting? What about reusing items and reducing your carbon footprint!? Or how about supporting LOCAL artists who upcycle items !? This place has it ALL and is basically a GoodWill for art and sustainability lovers! This is my heaven :) Oh and PLUS they support adults with disabilities daily!

This place is a gem of a find! It is a thrift store for any artists, crafters, and sewers. Items change on a regular basis, though, so shop often. I do up-cycled art, so this is great for me. Their proceeds help adults with disabilities, too.

Not exactly what I was looking for I was hunting for post-it notes but I would say this would be a great place for anyone building out an art studio or needing to do crafts with young folks they have a lot of fantastic gently used equipment and supplies definitely worth checking out, I do a lot of 28 mm miniatures and I can definitely see picking up some extra paint and brushes as well as a few other supplies to help me in my art
