I recently attempted to purchase a large amount of materials for an upcoming exhibit, planning to…read morespend a budget of millions. Instead of purchasing online or from a bigbox art retailer I opted to visit Black Horse, as they are one of few remaining independent art stores in the area. I arrived at the shop 45 minutes after opening as I am on strict time contraints at all time, I have to work out of efficiency. But when I arrived the shop keeper told me that I had to be quick or come back at a later point in the day. His excuse was that he had to remove his car from the snow. But mind you this was around 11AM, and this shop keeper should not be dealing with personal matters during business hours. Regardless I told him that I needed quite a bit of material and he informed me that I still should be fast, go back later, or visit another retailer. He should have seen my desire to spend a money in his shop as a means of paying for his snow removal. Unfortunately he rushed me out of there. This put a stick in the wheel of my entire exhibit's time table, as I had to travel a great distance of time waiting for an online order. All I have to say is that I will never be taking my money to this business, nor will I be recommending this business to anyone ever. Shame on this place, and the shop keeper I dealt with, the customer should always come first.

When you're new in town, it can sometimes take a while to find your favorite spots and for those…read morespots to feel like home. This was not exactly the case for me and Black Horse Art Supply. The minute I walked in the door, I knew I had found my art supply shop. After checking out all of the box stores, as can be the initial go-to when re-orienting in a new town, I was feeling a bit let down. I mean, here is this beautiful city saturated with artists and all I could find was overpriced canvas and incomplete color offerings. I knew there had to be something better and after some more digging, I came across this little shop on Pine Street. The owner is incredibly knowledgeable about all things 'art'. As an active member in the artist community, he is totally in-tune with local events and if you do happen to stump him with a question, he can point you in the right direction. I feel lucky to have found a place to go when the creativity strikes and happy to share it with new and seasoned artists alike.

I don't review much, as I tried to be understanding. This shop is unusually terrible. If I could…read moregive a ZERO, I would. I had a small frame job for my diploma (important doc), 6 x 8. No matte. Nothing complicated. They charged $73. Which could have been ok because it's small shop in Hanover NH (high rent). 1. It took 8 weeks. Dropped it off around 9/8. 2. Framer not in shop, they order frame to send to her off-site. 3. Took over 5 weeks to get the framed work -clerk told me 2-3 wks (had logistical excuses). 4. Framer didn't score the glass right, one edge wasn't clean. They charged a premium. 5. Didn't offer to fix; when I asked (since I'm paying $73), clerk had to text framer off-site and see IF she would fix it. 6. She would, but won't get to it until after 10/21 (whenever convenient for her). No delivery date. Since it's my diploma in a hostage situation, I had to endure. They messed up, charged a lot, no customer service/regret/communication (didn't call when it was going to take longer the first time), wasn't going to rush to correct a mistake. I called a week after 10/21 and they had no idea when I'll get my framed diploma; like I was bothering them by asking questions. 8 weeks of painful experience.

The watercolor that seemed a little dull was elegant after changing out the frame it had been in. The needlepoint I'd waited years to frame excites me every time I see it on the wall. The oil painting that looked cheap in an overdone frame was evocative of the rural nature of the picture, rich and warm. The framing work is art in and of itself.
