If you're going to art school or just want something to help with a hobby, this is a good store that will have everything you need at a fair price. Not cheap, but fair.
This store is stocked with the professional artist in mind. Lots of unique items to inspire you here, all at a good price, and they can order things in. Not an art supply store for getting crayons for your kids.
There aren't a lot of art supply stores I can think of in Calgary, but this is one I remember for sure. They have a lot of materials here, likely what you're looking for, and they can order stuff if you need something unique. Knowledgeable staff make a big difference too.
Great art store for any ACAD student! They offer 10% off with student ID. Great selection when I can't find what I'm looking for at the ACAD bookstore, just a bit more pricey. The service is excellent! Everyone is super friendly, helpful, and answers any questions I have. Great selection of pretty much everything! Paints, sketch books, markers,pencils, pens, and papers!

I'm not much of an artist. The most I could ever draw was an epic forest for my art class which was h@!%!**#~d drawn the night before. I ended up taking the most expensive sheet of paper in our class and taking my drawing pencil and paper shader and mushing out the crappiest (but eerie) group of trees. My art teacher, who was also my volleyball coach, decided to let his only left handed spiker... more
