I shopped here over a year ago and remembered just how helpful they were getting me the supplies I needed for my college art class. I havent been here since but by god if I ever do need supplies, this is the place to go.

Went to buy Christmas gifts for my nephew. Sales associate Amanda could not have been more helpful or nice. Highly recommended. I got lots of great stuff for the budding artist.

The layout is different than the Blick in Wheaton, and to be honest, I think its a little bit larger. The staff is equally as friendly and helpful though. Only downside is that they dont carry the sketch pad that I like (Canson XL marker paper), so I do have to rely on Michaels for that. Still, an amazing store!

Amanda and other associates took the time to help me find what I needed. Really nice store. I am definitely going back.

Still trying to figure out how this is an essential store needing to be open during a shelter in place in the state.

Love this place. The people are super nice and very helpful and knowledgeable, they have everything from pens and pencils to paints and canvas, even little fun stuff like a mini bonsai tree. Highly recommend to artists, friends of artists, and people who like little presents. They also have classes and stuff too I think

They had everything I thought I needed and more, and it was all easy to find! I always spend too much at art supply stores, and this was no exception, but I enjoyed it and came home ready to create.

Review №13

A potentially good art store ended in disappointment. They overcharged me by almost double what I owed, they promised a student discount, and they also didnt give that either. If you go here, make sure you check what they are charging you before paying (especially during a sale). When I called they put me on hold immediately, and I waited for over half an hour (I am not exaggerating), then after they picked up they said they needed to get their manager... and put me on hold again. I live out of town far from any Blick stores, so it is not convenient to just go back. I was visiting family and thought Id give the store a try. I will now be telling friends and family not to go here. Dont waste your time here and just go to a Michaels or Hobby Lobby instead, it will probably be way cheaper at the other stores also.

Like a candy store for anyone even remotely creative. Good selection of supplies for a variety of artistic endeavours.Helpful employees.Give yourself time to meander the aisles and enjoy dreaming up project ideas.

Review №15

Let the artist within vent...as I meander through the aisles Im amazingly spent! Shall I paint with oils, acrylic or sketch with ink, charcoal or lead? No matter, the creative genius stirs within my very soul and I am drawn by a heightened energy and imagination just like the masters I so aspire to...MICHELANGELO and his PIETA, my favorite of the renaissance! Its all there for the asking...! PAULA (a.k.a SPIRIT)

If you are into art, dont look further. Love the store. They have great variety of supplies, from paper, markers, paints, etc. Very friendly and knowledgeable stuff. Rewards program works great. Would strongly recommend this store.

Review №17

Had a quick question on a gift card I had. I wanted a refund with a gift card cause I had my supplies for class already. I knew the answer to this question but wanted to ask anyways because why not try. The manager rudely answered there were no refunds. And I said that’s okay. I went over to look at some of the markers and I overheard the same manager saying I was stupid for asking that question. I kind of felt belittled and embarrassed. He did not make me feel welcomed or appreciated as a valued customer. I will definitely go find a different Blicks to shop at.

Blick is THE place to get any fine art or design supplies. I used to get their paper catalog back in my design school days, and they have a nationwide delivery presence. But the store is so much fun! If you arent inspired coming into this store, somethings wrong!

I spend a lot of time at this store. I price check items as well. You may find they have a lower prices on some things compared to the internet. It depends on what youre looking for. The store is always organized and the staff are very friendly and offer help as soon as you walk in the door. They are now located at 500 Golf Rd. In the Kohls Shopping center.

I am a preferred customer. Spend $100 avg per week. Often a lot more. usually, LOVE shopping here. Not today!!! Gads! What an unpleasant experience!!!Product/price on shelf mismatched and incorrect, $15 more than expected at register. No apology.Having poster board cut and required to pay BEFORE cuts made. I had other shopping to do, oh well, the stores loss, I will finish my shopping elsewhere.Paying and unable to use debit card as credit so that I have a named payee on my statement, purchases are for business, must use as debit.Very unhappy with today’s experience. Staff was unusually unfriendly and seemed putout and just plain disinterested in being there. None of the usual wonderful staff anywhere in sight, but a hiring sign on the window. A shame really. Hope you get it back together Blick.

Genuinely enjoy this place and checking out what supplies I need for my budding painting hobby. The staff is knowledgeable and very helpful! Plus, the music takes me back to simpler times haha. Its a great place to stop by for inspiration (by looking at all the art supplies they have) & also for a nostalgic visit to 2007. Overall, I foam at the mouth with excitement when driving by... so I highly recommend the place!

Review №33

The best brick and mortar art store to get your supplies. Only place thats better is their online store. This place charges more than what you pay online, that is unless you have their savings card. I have no idea why or how this works. But thats what it is. Thats the only reason I give them 3 starts.I go there only if I need something immediately and cant wait for an item to be delivered.Feel free to approach staff with questions, they are very helpful. They often appear unapproachable but theyll gladly help you out if you ask. Theyll help you find what you need. Theyll even walk you to the supplies you are looking for.They have or will be soon changing their location.

This store is always worth the trip. If you decide to buy anything, become a preferred customer. This will save you 10%. They have a large supply of canvases, frames, fine art supplies and a fun assortment of small gifts, especially around Christmas time. They also have art demonstrations during the year. The staff is friendly and very helpful in answering questions. Everytime I go to Schaumburg, I stop there and never come away empty handed. It is always a pleasant surprise to see what is new. Shop at Blick. They are worth the trip.

Review №42

As I progress as an artist, I increasingly find that this particular Blick just doesn’t carry the items needed by an actual, professional artist. The items that they choose to carry are more focused on student to lower/mid artist grade products. When the Art Institute was still in Schaumburg, this made sense. Their main customer base were the kids that went to that school. Now that they are no longer there, the area really needs an amazing fine art supply store. Blick should be it, but time and time again, I’m having to order basic supplies online because they don’t carry it in store, even though it’s on the website. Or, I’m told that I need to go downtown in order to get QoR paint, full sets of Polychromos pencils or even several kinds of paper or card stock. If it requires me going to downtown Chicago, I will absolutely order online from either Blick, Amazon or Jerry’s Artarama before I ever think about making the trek downtown for something. It’s becoming more and more difficult to purchase the art supplies I need locally, and I would much prefer to spend my money locally instead of online.

Everything art related. I picked up a small roll of canvas and used my white toner laser printer to create a painting that looks like real acrylic. Used the clear gel to even add brush strokes.

Review №47

Whats not to love about an art store? So many colors and papers, markers, brushes, and pastels. Every aisle has something that catches the eye. Good variety of both high end and middle level materials as well as some starter items. Some clearance items as well. Its never too late to take up calligraphy and combine it with origami and encaustic.

Review №55

The staff here is really helpful and anticipates customers needs. I forgot the name of the young lady who helped me but she was in the evening shift. I needed only one big piece of tracing paper but what they had on the shelf was a pad. She then suggested a certain kind of film which works just as well and which I can buy by piece. Their products here are of good selection, perhaps the best in Schaumburg.

They actually had what I needed in store! I was looking all over for a China marker aka grease pencil and they actually had multiple colors. I had no idea they even made multiple colors!Anyway, the employees here actually seemed like they wanted to help me vs the employees at certain other craft stores. I will be going back in the future.

Someone was nice enough to get me a $100 gift card to this store around the holidays. This store is nice as are the employees. I would ordinarily not shop here but I am glad I did as I found it different. I can hardly wait to do my next painting as today in itself has been inspirational!

The lady sitting at the table and the man standing next to her were very rude by staring at us when we were shopping. Almost like they were mocking us. Very mood ruining. Otherwise, the store has large selection and the guy at checkout is nice.

They have an amazing selection of art supplies - pretty much everything you could need. Its a wee bit more expensive than other art supply stores and then you get the IL tax added onto that. Otherwise, if you cant find something, I bet youll be able to find it here.

Block has a great selection of everything. I mainly go there for the wide variety of spray paints. They have a ton of Montana Gold and I never have trouble finding a color I need. The customer service is great Im always helped within a minute of walking in. They recently moved to a new location on golf road for anybody that thought they closed up shop.

Ive seen quite a few reviews harping on the customer service, so I thought Id chime in and say that Ive been here many times over the years and never had a problem. In fact, Ive received the most help from the employees here. Dont know where this comes from. Its not the tip top greatest service, but no art store Ive seen has that unless its owner operated. Get over yourselves.

Review №98

This store used to be great, and have a huge selection of watercolor products, but their stock as cut down substantially, which is a real shame... They used to carry old Holland, schminke, and Qor, but they only have a few very basic paints now... Daniel Smith, Sennelier, Windsor & Newton, and of course their own brand... My main reason for going to this place was for their large water color selection--both paints and accessories, and their stock is lacking quite a bit now. As for the rest, it just feels like the Move to a smaller store was a bit of a downgrade as well. Theres less of the cool and unique items that used to be there before - but, what do I know? They might not have been selling that great. Either way, I feel like the change of store was not a good change, and Im very sad about the loss of the original location.
