I know this isn't like the normal art store review but I wanted to mention how amazing they were…read more The knowledge from the staff in this store blows me away. An emergency left me in the ER with doctors and nurses asking me whether a small piece of dried yellowish paint was acrylic or oil, artist or other-- I had no idea. The only thing I could think to do was hurry to an art store and ask if they knew. My first stop was Michael's and the glazed over distant look in the employees eyes told me that I was wasting my time there. My brother-in-law shops at Riverside Art so I thought "what the Hell..." After just a few minutes of crumbling, smelling, and diluting they were able, with 100% confidence, to tell me exactly what kind of paint it was. Because of the strange color they were even able to give me a specific brand. Not too bad when all I brought them was a piece of dried paint and a whole lot of anxiety. They took a genuine interest in my problem and did the best they could to help me-- for that I am very appreciative and have been recommending them to everyone who asks me about art or framing.

Very disappointed recently - paid for a custom mounting of a canvas print - I gave careful instructions on my request - when i went to pick it up, I found that the image on the print was bent around the edges of the underlying frame. The painted image just ends in space - When I mentioned this, the young lady was dismissive - " these things get stretched when they get mounted" - Understood. So they actually mounted it on a framework that was too small. Too bad for me. I don't think it is reparable. I dont mind if mistakes are made. Just be respectful.

In a world of Super Mega Corporations it's really nice to have a reliable source such as Pro Chem with real human employees to answer any questions or concerns you may have. The office staff are so nice and will rush a pickup order for you at any time. Now, this is by no means a retail store. Their offices are really just administrative staff and order processors so you'll have to do your shopping and browsing either online or in their catalog. They ship every where but if you're in the Fall River area, you can pick your order up to avoid shipping fees. I highly recommend you peruse their website, it's a great resource for not only textile supplies but they also have hundreds of instructional pamphlets that you can download and print for free.

Their large space had a vast assortment of frames and mats from which to chose. I was expertly assisted in deciding on minor details like which mat best complemented the art, how to best size the mat, and which frame looked best. The work that they did for me was meticulous. The turnaround time was quick and pricing was reasonable. The staff was cordial and professional, and respectful of the art with which I entrusted them. I will return to Crestar for my future framing needs, and I recommend them without hesitation.

We visited before Warren Art Night and I'm glad we stopped in before visiting the galleries as they close at 5:30. Definitely worth a stop when visiting Warren, and even worth a drive in from the surrounding area.

I love the selection of vintage items and artisan curated selections (the rock jewelry candles are super cool and I love my capybara enamel pin!), and everything is in a reasonable price range, especially the handcrafted items. Even though this was my first visit, Imagine is definitely one of my top recommendations for those looking for a cool and quirky off the beaten path place to stop when you're in Warren!

Older woman who works there was very helpful in first trying to find me a price and then in seeing if the store had more copies of the book. When this poor helpful woman asked what appeared to be a manager, the poor woman was snapped at by this manager/co-worker in the most nasty way...I was embarrassed for the her. Walked out and bought the same item online from another retailer. Moral of the story..this nasty manager isn't helping what few brick and mortar retailers that still exist bring/keep their customers and online shopping is so much more easier/pleasant than in store experiences like this!
