I really liked this store. The employees were very nice and we bought painting supplies for my kid. So many varieties of paint!They also had a pretty neat looking pen section!
Prices in the store and on their website are often different. They say, they will match price on the site if it is less but the fine print is that they will match only if price of item + shipping is less than price of item in the store. Almost always item online will cost more if you include shipping. I do not understand why would prices be different in store and on THEIR site. If they want to encourage people to come to store and shop, the least they can do is have same price. Saying they will match price after shipping is included, is cheating. This is why people shop on amazon. In the future, I will just browse for items here and then buy it on amazon.
Staff is always so helpful and make potentially long trips, efficient!
A huge amount of good stuff! Prices seem reasonable. I usually go there on a Sunday when Im already downtown in the morning. The parking is a little spare, and downtown traffic isnt wonderful, so sometimes the big employee owned art store in SE on 21st gets me because its closer. Really nice selection and friendly help.
Its cheaper to buy online then it is to purchase at the store. When I asked the clerk about it she trys to inform me on how to wear my mask. I told her to mind her business. I wear mine like the good doctor does that is in the picture.
This store is honestly just fantastic. The staff have always gone above and beyond for me. They have quality selections. Anything not in their store is available online, but Ive always found what I was looking for here regardless. This isnt a store for casual crafting though - its a store for art. Even if youre not an artist, coming in here will make you feel more like one than you were when you arrived.
Very helpful, very organized, great sale prices
Quality materials and good selection.
Had literally EVERYTHING I could ever want or need for any fine arts project. Had every color of art marker for individual sale, super good prices! This is my new favorite art supply store.
Enjoyed walking thru a real art store. They have supplies that a big box retailer doesnt have.
Everyone was so knowledgeable and helpful - and rolled with the punches when things changed. ManyThanks!
Excellent service and a good selection of materials.
Very hot and hard to navigate in such a tightly packed store (especially tough during Covid with a mask on). Strangely did not have the art paper I was looking for, or the markers.
Really pushy like they were closing, for no reason… I felt too anxious to pick the best deals. If you want more money, just say that. :/ Great variety though, just take your time and check out with the kindest person available. Dont let them get to you.
Anything and everything youll need for any art project. Plus a few things ectra.
Friendly and helpful staff, able to accommodate any level of knowledge!
I got a last minute custom order. Blick had what I needed to get my project created, finished and sold. Whew! The only place local I know to buy canvas 6 by 8 foot, without waiting for it to be delivered. They have an awesome selection and helpful staff. Also some Super Fun books, posters and odd toys.
Like a lot of speciality arts & crafts stores, things are expensive. The selection is not stellar, but theres tools for carving and sculpture which is cool, including raw soapstone. Also spray paint, and various small gift ideas. Better than Hobby Lobby :)
Its amazing how many different art supplies were here. You can get clayor art pens or calligraphy pens or multiple kinds of paints and thats just naming a couple. They have good prices on everything and you can get singles of many items that you usually have to buy in packs. I spent 2 hours looking and the staff was extremely helpful. They are all knowledgeable and friendly. I could have spent even more time if I had looked at the second half of the store lol. If you enjoy mixed media art or multiple kinds of art, this is the place for you.
EDIT January 2020:To management, THANK YOU for reconsidering the bag policy.While I realize that we have homeless issues around here, as well as theft, it was really a matter of throwing the baby with the bath water, and makes it less convenient for people who are car free. This makes it far easier for me to come since I dont need to go all the way to Portland when already doing other shopping.Best supply in the area, and convenient when I need something in a hurry, also has individual Prismacolor pencils for sale, which is always pleasant.
Its an art supply store for artists, by artists. Ive been coming here since it was an Art Media brand store years ago, and the staff mostly hasnt changed in all this time. The people there are extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. They understand artists because theyre artists themselves. And their prices are mostly quite reasonable to boot.
Extremely disappointed by my experience framing a custom art piece that I hoped to “refresh” with new matting and frame. Not don’t on time, many days delay and after hanging gently in wall the piece fell fromMatting. Offer fromBlickWas to repair “free of charge”. When returned the original art was bent on right side, not made flat to mount to backing. Response from manager was a 50% off discount (same as ongoing advertised “sale” online and in windows almost constantly). Very disappointed by the lack of care and concern for my art work. Don’t trust Blick to get it right, they really don’t care if they do.
I went here to get some school supplies for college, and Im definitely gonna be back! Everybody there seems to really be passionate in what theyre doing, and the selection is awesome. I love the atmosphere in here. Plus, 10% student discount and great sales!
Friggin love it here.... just learning to put down paint @ 48 years old. Might be a bit more spendy but quality rules all. Xo
Lots of art supplies. Tons of brushes, pens, water colors. Lots of fun.
Great staff! Always very helpful, which I need.
First time in. Love it. Sad they dont have 8oz bottles of primary blue and primary red acrylic paint in the Blick brand, if they did, 5 stars. Got great help from the lady who was working the counter. Will definitely be back!
Awesome products, pricey. But they have a good rewards program. My daughter liked it.
Staff were great, helpful, and knowledgeable. Prices not the greatest (though an employee explained that certain brands just cant be as discounted as wed like), but better if youre a student with a Blick card.
Superb selection and exceptional staff make this my top stop for art supplies.
Very helpful staff and just enough of every art supply youd need,and quality brands
Their selection is incredible, the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. They signed me up for a free membership that took $60 off my subtotal of $130.
What a great local art store! They are for the professional artist and for the casual artist or crafter. I love doing coloring books, and I have gotten many of my coloring pencils and markers here. My mother is a professional artist and I have often picked up large sheets of watercolor paper for her, as well as other art supplies.The staff are super helpful and knowledgeable. It is the one place I feel I can safely ask questions and get really great answers on products I’m unfamiliar with.
Fantastic job, I’m so grateful for the encouragement and connections I made with the staff here. I had a huge order to print and came in unprepared. This was the first time I made prints of my artwork and was unfamiliar with the process. I had no idea my artwork would look this good printed. I’m still in awe of the job they did on my prints. A big thank you hug to each of you for making me feel at home in your store.
If you love art and art supplies, youll love this shop! Plenty of different supplies from different companies, and helpful staff.
I drove 30 miles just to have access to the variety of quality art supplies at this store. Staff answered questions I never even thought about.
Good art supplies at good prices useful for bringing Light and Truth into this corrupted material world
A wonderful place where you can get anything you want for art.
Always love going here because the people who workhere are artists they can answer questions i might have about paint mediums or so forth.
Artists delight! Love this place.
Always a great place to pick up supplies. Sure some stuff might be cheaper online but we like to make sure its what we want in person first. We always get the silicone and some of the paints n mica powders, havent found em cheaper anywhere else. Always friendly and knowledgeable as well! Highly recommend them.Had to order online for school supplies before and it came QUICKLY as well! Shipped fast and shipping wasnt horribly expensive!
This isnt the biggest Blicks around but they have surprisingly good stock. My kid and I go there about every month for painting and sketching supplies. What I like best is they carry more important things and not so many gimmicky things like other art stores. Really great place!
I had the best time in here! Its so artsy and cool! Tons of unique art materials and absolutely every shade of every material you could imagine! Prices were not as low as Michaels but if youre looking for a specific art material and you cant find it anywhere else, Im sure you could find it here.
This blick is great. Huge selection of papers and canvases. Employees are very helpful if youre trying to find the right product.
Great place for art supplies. The staff are friendly and helpful which is good when youre new to a technique and arent sure what you need.
Have a lot of paints in a multitude of colors. This place is awesome!
Super organized, fairly priced, out of my price range but I wouldn’t say it’s expensive.
As an art junkie, I’m obsessed with the story. They have a fantastic collection of supplies and I love the people that work here. The most helpful !!
Such a great variety of quality art supplies. Generally always has an in store or online special. Its a family run business so you get quality help. I really love that they have artists come in for demos and a lot of the time they have what they call a make and take. Great hands on, prizes sometimes, and best of all its all free!!
My daughters go to art store. They have everything an aspiring artist needs
I was just killing time when I walked into the store and I wasnt expecting much because its much smaller than a big craft store like Michaels. Wow, was I surprised! There were so many neat items, things Ive not found anywhere else. The next thing I know, Ive purchased $$$$ cool items and walking out the door with a huge grin and planning my next visit. The staff was helpful and fun. This one gal who rang up my order had the best sense of humor and we bantered like old friends. I highly recommend taking a look around in this sweet little gem of a store, Im confident youll be pleased with the inventory and the staff!
Great prices very competitive and a huge selection very impressed
Just an amazing place I was in heaven in the color pencils ... Got a free membership for all sales I can order online and receive the store discounts.. The manager was such a great help and the other employee was just as great! Love the store definitely go back artist paradise
Great selection and a very knowledgeable staff! Do not be afraid to ask for help.
Extensive selection of art & craft supplies, projects for kids, gift items, easels, canvasses, etc. Knowledgeable staff is always helpful. You can find specialty papers, drawing & painting supplies, carrying cases, & much more. Conveniently located on Cedar Hills Blvd near Arbys and Bed, Bath & Beyond ( by Walker Road).
Pricey, but incredible and vast selection of anything you could need to create art.
Got what I needed at reasonable price.
One Stop Art Supply store. Staff is very friendly and helpful.
Wonderful art store for beginners and professionals. There is a wide variety of things sold here related to art. The staff is always ready to help if you have a question.
It was awesome!!! I want 2 try every kind of art project that there are supplies 4. The store is nicely put 2gether. Room 2 walk down aisles & look at all that they have on display. I will defiantly b back.
Very helpful. Gave me sale price achedules for the next day!
Prices are fairly high here. Sign up for their membership program -- its free and makes most prices much more competitive.
Great place to get name brand art supplies. Not as busy as the one on Glisan.
They have a lot of art supplies and they also do Framing for photos and canvas art! That tid bit surprised me. Staff was really helpful and all.
Everything you could think of for painting, drawing, and many other art forms. I was overwhelmed at the selection. Wonderful store to browse the aisles.
Helpful staff. Great variety of art supplies
Great selection of Copic markers at competitive prices and a friendly, helpful staff.
The art supplies are good, but terribly overpriced.
I liked how helpful the staff were. Also I feel like they are a bit cheeper. Im happy with what I purchased.College friendly!!!!!
Their selection is great and the staff are knowledgeable and they can always help you find what you are looking for... even if you dont know.
Fun and tons of art to ogle. Needs more places to sit.
Awesome customer service. Great prices. They price match through their rewards program
Have too not go too often -- too tempting. Lots of cool stuff.
Packed with friendly people and art supplies of all kinds. Handicapped access is difficult, as aisles are narrow. Handicapped parking is ok, but there are many ramps to navigate because this mini-mall is on a slope.
Great for finding all kinds of fun stuff. Drawing, painting, clay, etc.
Well kept but pricey
Knowledgeable staff and good diversity of supplies
Great place, good deals and great staff, just wish they had more products that the other stores carry
This place never fails me. I paint on different surfaces and its my one stop shop. Pretty knowledgable staff and committed to finding a solution to your needs.
Lots of good stuff here
Affordable art supplies! Its my weakness, and Im glad Blick is not too far from home to enable me to feed my addiction.
I am always impressed when I go in here. Whether youre just picking up a cheap paintbrush or blowing your paycheck on oil paints, the staff are incredibly helpful and ready to jump in with help when needed or give you space to explore.
Best charcoal selection ♡
Mind-blowing quantity of choices! Went there to get black crackle paint. Employee showed me where to look and apologized for only having 5 colors to choose from.
Plenty of art supplies got my daughter some paints got her some glow in the dark paint for the ceiling in her bedroom now she sleeps well
My favorite place to go besides Powells book store. They have a great selection of art material and if they dont have it in store you can most likely get it on line.
High priced. Staff wont give u the chance to tap into ur creative side
Everything from colored pencils, to alcohol markers, to pottery glazes, to canvas stretching supplies, with automatic online price match, super knowledgeable staff, great store in every way.Love blick.
Service is great products are high quality with a great selection
Very helpful. Max answered all our questions and was very helpful
Its convenient to have an art store like this close by, but our experience just wasnt so great. We had come here to get some supplies for our young one, as she got to decorate her own wooden swing chair for the outdoors. The problem comes to the outdoors part, as we wanted to make this chair and the painting on it last. The person we talked to at BLICKs recommended Shellac and that itd be good for the outdoors. However, later on when we did our research on this product and looked for an alternative that we could brush on instead of spray, it came to our attention that what they said was good for out doors use ... wasnt.
Very nice, can find a lot of stuff here that you cant at more general stores. Excellent source for all sorts of art supplies. My interests are in sketchbooks, book binding, pencils and inks and theres tons of very good supplies for that here!
Great spot for quality art supplies
Always so helpful and friendly!
Very friendly. Love the amount of at supplies they had available.
