I think I could have pitched a tent in the corner and just lived off eating erasers as long as I could marvel at the drawings supplies. A fortress. A wonderland of joy. Immaculate.
You cannot go in blicks and come out empty handed. You cannot go in blicks and not find a deal...esp during back to school and Christmas sales. Love blicks. More expensive then Micheals...but more refined. Quality not quantity.
Love this place. Makes me wish I was more artistic. The staff is always so helpful. Its a pleasure to shop here.
I am medically exempt from masks due to severe anxiety and sensory problems. When I told the long bearded older man who stormed out of the the back at me that I was, he said Youre not exempt excuse me, how would he know? He was VERY rude, even though I remained polite. I would NOT recommend this location, based off how they treat people who have disabilities and differences.
There are wonderful people working here, I enjoyed my visit very much.
They seem better lately I usually know what I need but always seems to be an issue when you need help. They either treat you like you dont know what youre talking about or hide behind the counters in a corner talking and when you ask for help they seem a little annoyed you disturbed them. I asked if they had a certain watercolor they said if we did it was in such area and pointed at a general direction. I then said I saw it online and wasnt sure if it was available in store. She then begrudgingly looked it up and said they could ship it to the store or my house which woulda been fine except I decided by then to get it at wet paint where they did carry that type of watercolor. Sorry but not sorry the last few times Ive been in there just seems like your staff doesnt care anymore and I used to think blick was awesome not all the staff most are good idk who this girl was she seemed new and her coworker as well and ive been shopping there since I worked at national camera over 10 yrs ago so idk what changed but find nicer people its art supplies its suppose to be fun!!!!
They have all that I need there. And for covid19 precaution. They turn each isle into a one direction traffic. To prevent you from face to face contact with other customers.
I always love shopping at Blicks... Great inventory for all art mediums... They often have great sales.I was shopping for a new large easel on this shopping trip, they had a great double mast large easel on sale, but they did not have it in stock. Nor did they know when it would restocked. I was told that I could order it and have it shipped to me, but shipping costs made that an unfavorable option.... Dissappointed, but not discouraged. Ill be traveling back to Roseville MN again soon. Hopefully the easel will still be on sale (and in stock)!
Friendly helpful staff, large variety, slightly over priced.
Fantastic selection and very helpful staff. They are taking COVID seriously and require masks, social distancing, and one-way aisle traffic.
Blick is amazing! I go all the time because they have every art supply I love plus hundreds more!
Theyve got a great selection and the staff is friendly.
Nice art supplies store. Offers a wide variety of products including items that are hard to find at bigger chains. Despite being somewhat of a specialty store, they also offer store-brand products at low, competitive prices. Blick also has a nice (free!) rewards program that gets me 10% off every visit. Finally, I like the knick-knacks they have at the front of the store all of which can be useful and not just throw-away!
Made it so easy. And they had it in stock.
Would of been nice to know items were not included with my airbrush kit. Frustrating to drive back down 45 minutes to get an item that honestly should of been recommended.
I ordered a marker storage case online, it was clearly labeled as “spectrum noir marker storage-clear” so I thought, “oh spectrum noir is quality, so I’ll bye the spectrum noir storage.”.They sent crafters companion storage, not spectrum noir when they said in their website “spectrum noir”. Not happy, storage is dirty and has spots.
Its an art supply store. They have art supplies.Great selection of fine quality materials. Super helpful and friendly staff.Whether youre a grad student or middle school student. Theyll have what you need.
Il be coming here for paintin stuff
The staff here is always friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. My teenager and I have never left unhappy. Fun demos in store too!
Pretty well lay out of Blocks. Atmosphere was pretty chilled, great, also. Great art materials. Thank you, my child loved her Christmas gifts.
Had an armful of goods with no line or customers waiting walked up put our things down on counter. The clerk instructed to us to pick everything up and walk over to a sign that indicated customer line. It was on the opposite side of the large area for checkout. No one was there. We picked up our things walked over and as soon as we got there he told us we could come back. Dog and pony show behavior. It was a ridiculous exercise in bad customer service. I spent more than $200 for the privilege of being treated poorly. I spoke with the manager and was told in no uncertain terms TOO BAD for us. My final thought is thank goodness for mail order. I have never returned.
Friendly staff, decent selection
Love coming to this place. A friend gave me a $150 gift card for a commission, so I finally had an offline experience with shopping at Blicks. Loved the store and staff.
Great art store! My wife and I have been here a few times and they were very helpful in finding pens and other items we were looking for! Ask about their rewards if you plan to shop here often.
Small, but, I love this place. It makes me happy to go in it. And the employees are good at answering my questions!
Great place to buy art supplies specially for beginners or students! Hugh selection of all kinds of art supplies portfolios, Matt board even more online.
Good range of brushes, however the Windsor and Newton series 7 were more than double what I found them for on Amazon.
Blick is my go-to art store as an artist. They have almost everything Ive gone out to find and some. Their prices are amazing and that online price match save me at least a few dollars everytime I go.
Great selection. Some prices are high and not always a choice between brands but so many mediums are represented. Good for students and great website if its not in the store.
Everything you ever wanted at a fair price. Highly recommend their store brand acrylics.
Great full spectrum art supply store. On line offerings incredible
People were very helpful and had everything we needed! And i had taken an art class there over a year ago and they never called us when our paintings were dry. When i went there and asked they they still had them they went to look and they did!! I was so excited to get them back!
Love the place, only downside, their tap-to-pay works terribly. Make sure to bring your card or cash.
Extremely helpful staff.
Super helpful, knowledgable, and friendly staff! I came in for a work order and a staff member helped me fulfill my list quickly. A great selection of fun items for every artist from master to beginner. This was my first time in a Blick Art Materials and I will definitely be a return customer. Artists dream store.
Great service! Great selection! And if youre a student you get a 10% discount, just bring your student ID card. They also price match their online prices!
Every time I go I get asked what I want in a polite and happy Manner and they almost always have what Im looking for. They are one of the only source I go to that shows respect and care for their customers and do everything they can to make sure that you can find what youre looking for either in store or online
They were super helpful over the phone and when we got there the store had a bunch more options then I expected. The staff was informative and really nice!
Always fun to go here. They have a staff that is clearly passionate about art and what they sell, and the layout is simultaneously practical and aesthetically on-brand; you feel like youre in an artists loft, not a suburban strip mall. An impressive selection and competitive pricing makes this one of my favorite stops.
Great prices, great selection, bright store, helpful staff
Found what I needed quickly!
Great place, has everything!Great staff as well, very helpful.
If you really enjoy art at any level, it is an awesome store with people who know their stuff.
This a great art supply store. Employees are helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Love their supply of watercolor paint brands.
I’m always able to find what I need and the prices are decent.
Small store, decent inventory size for art materials. Not a craft store in any form meaning lower prices on certain items and higher on others. The staff is inviting and very helpful. Come here for your art supplies needs, not hobby lobby or Michaels can beat them in price on quite a few items.
Great products! Excellent customer service!
I like this store. Been using them for many years. Mostly for mats and assorted supplies for mounting photographs. Recently we have been getting paints and pigments for her resin crafts. The customer service is great. We will continue to use them.
Prior to hearing about this store I was wondering where there was a quality art supply. Much to my surprise this gem of a store was told to me by the 8 yr old son of close friends. Abrams a smart young man! Thanks buddy!
These guys have nearly everything. They are a little more expensive than Michaels but they have more pro stuff
Very interesting very friendly staff really a neat place all around!
A great place if you have a creative in your life. I go here regularly for supplies and gifts for them. The staff is very helpful and I typically find things I never knew existed. But I always leave feeling more creative than when I went in.
Awesome store with polite, friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff. Its so nice to go into a store with an art supply/art related question and find employees who can actually answer and who know what theyre talking about.The store is clean, well lit, and organized. Ill definitely be coming back.
Cool art supply place bit today their internet was down. Good thing I had cash...
Had everything i needed. Staff is super helpful
Gals, gents, everyone in between and those of no category all, get all of your top quality material design and illustration desires met at the premiere retail establishment! The incomparable,...AMAZING,...PHENOMENAL,.....BLICKS!!!
One male employee has been rude to me and others on multiple occasions. Even though I’m an artist and need to get supplies from time to time I’m never super happy to go there in case he is at the register and I have to interact with him
Good place for hobby supplies. Good selection of mini painting brushes.
Lots of supplies! Clean.
Great service and nice to see products in real life instead of online.
They have really good stuff!!! I am gaga over the miniature thingies!!! I know youll understand when YOU go!!!
A great place to get art supplies. Make sure to sign up for the Blicks rewards card because you will get the web price match which is sometimes significant.
Great place with most of what you need.
Although I showed up minutes before they closed, I was given customer service that was incredible!!! He gave me good choices on numerous items I was interested in. Took me all over the store to find these items. Helped me carry my items to checkout. My only regret was that I did not get this young mans name! We shared an interest in a singer and this wonderful young man even sang a few lines from one of this artists songs. A most memorable experience!!! Even though that store is about 30 minutes from my home, I WILL be shopping there again. The majority of businesses could learn alot from them about customer service!!!
I love this place! Its my go to art supply store.The staff has always been very helpful and friendly. They have demos/events frequently, some free, some paid which is cool so you can try out products. Wide selection of supplies and even little gift type things which are great for holidays/birthdays. Their Instagram is always up to date with sales and events which I find useful.
I gave Blick an average score because there is good and bad about this place.The good: They have an insane selection of art supplies. And the prices are reasonable.The bad: When I go there it is for airbrush paints and supplies. I have yet to find anyone at this location that knows anything about airbrushes. So if I ever need help, or have a question, I am screwed.
Staff were very helpful and friendly.
Great staff and lots of fun products.
Still the go-to store for supplies and inspiration. Ive never walked out of the store with fewer ideas than when I went in.
Prices are on the high side but they have a good selection of airbrush colors and the staff was quite friendly.
They always have what Im looking for.
Friendly staff and cute items.
I love doing art and going there just gives me so many ideas when I see so many fun things I could use.
Great people, great sale prices. God, though, normal prices are more than an arm and a leg. :/
Great selection of art materials.
All sorts of Art supplies! Awesome staff! Quirky gifts! Very cool place! Sad I didnt check it out sooner!!
Friendly and knowledge staff. Whatever your creative outlet, the selection at Blick cant be beat.
Very merchandise that comes with a high price tag, but its worth it. They have so many kinds of materials here its an amazing store. Not just for people who are already great artists. There are lots of beginner kits and things for kids
Wouldnt give us educator/student discount. Edina branch did. Good selection, high prices.
This is my favorite art supply store in the twin cities for one reason the uncritical and poised staff especially cashier 09901. I am always making complicated returns that even confuse me. Returns of multiple items from different receipts if I have one at all. Then bring up item after item asking question after question. Thiseqounimous staff has never made me feel uncomfortable for spending hours in the store looking at and trying every pen marker or what ever else out. Then Ill bring a pile of stuff up to check out with out a clue what I want to cheap and if my returns will even cover the cost 09901 is unflappable hes always helpful its a serene culture among this staff. And the make my shopping experience wonderful Everytime. Thanks guys
Too expensive. But theyve got what you need.
Blicks is great so little pricey but art supply stores usually are. It has a fantastic selection
Excellent customer service, very knowledgeable staff, great products!! Depending on what youre looking for it can be a bit pricier than other craft stores, but I would say the quality is nearly always worth it!
Best quality art supply store around!
Great place for artists of all ages and talent levels! Great prices in store and online also!
Always fun!
I was searching for local business that has the supplies I need. I drove past looking for a place to and notice the sign on the door that bans guns. I do not shop at places that discriminate. Sorry but you lost a potential long term customer.
Very helpful polite staff. I like this store, very knowledgeable staff and room to shop.
Great selection of supplies, friendly workers, and decent prices. Would shop there again!
Everything you need. Good advice. Not condescending to rookies.
A great spot for the creative of all kinds.
I was there on a saturday to buy something, when i asked i was told it just came in and it wasnt out yet. Went back 2 days later and still was not out.
This place makes my heart sing.... so many fun arting supplies. They had many grayscale marker set options whereas other art stores I have visited had none. It seems as if the staff at this store is just as geeky about their art supplies as I am and I love it.
I wish there were more Blix around because they have everything I need and their sales are amazing
It is like visiting a candy store. Good selection and helpful staff.
Great store, friendly helpful staff!
Good selection for art projects
