I highly recommend CHECKING YOUR BAGS prior to leaving store. It is a headache getting them to believe that they did not give you your supplies. They will check cameras and also interview their personnel to verify if they did not give you your supplies. after they verified on camera and through their employee that they did not give me my spray paint caps that I purchased they only refunded my money and apologized for inconvenience but did not offer any kind of discount other than creating uncomfortable environment due to them making me feel like they did not believe what I was telling them to be true. Before you leave store check your bags and receipt. if all it takes is for their employees to say they gave you your supplies to cover their mistake then you will be S.O.L.I will not be returning also I will not recommend this spot to anybody you are better off going to Artarama located right off the 60.The store is stocked and I know the students that shop here are what created the atmosphere. I.e stealing/thievery/lying.

By far my favorite arts supply store. Far superior to the Chain Companies like Michaels or hobby bench. And even tho the store isnt the biggest with the most inventory on hand their on-line options are very fast, convenient, and grant an unexpected peace of mind I dont get shopping else where. Thanks be being awesome Blick Studios. Ill be a life time shopper as long as your doors stay open

This place is like heaven.

This place has all the supplies your artistic mind could hope for... outside of the truly extravagant or bizarre.The staff are outstanding. Theyre knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and patient, which is a collage not often found in one staff member, let alone every one of them.The selection is much more vast and varied than in any other store Ive encountered in the Valley, granted, I havent been to all that many as of yet. I can easily say though, that of the 5 or 6 other places Ive been to which advertise themselves as facilitators of art supplies (no need to mention names), Blick Art Materials has em beat in the areas that matter most; selection, price, staff and proximity which, being located on East University in Tempe, isnt a big trek for a large portion of us in the greater Phoenix area.

I was so happy to find this store because they sell individual soft pastels. Its really great to be able to personally select the colors I want. I havent found any other shop that sells single items like this. I believe they also have single colored pencils and oil pastels. They have a pretty big selection of colors and brands. Its great if you need specific colors and dont like buying the boxes full of colors you wont use.The Blick store is smaller than certain other craft supply stores, but they make up for it by carrying items which I have had a hard time finding elsewhere.

Best customer service!! The staff really went out of their way to make my experience easy and efficient! Erik you rock!

Their store-branded sign says you must wear a face mask OR face covering.A friend of mine and her son, who has autism and anxiety (he will wear a face shield for these situations) were in the store for about 10 minutes to get supplies for his art class. At which time the store manager came up and said that they have to leave because hes not wearing a mask even though their own signs say OR face covering. She mentioned this and the manager said well our interpretation of face covering is not a face shield and unless he put on a mask they would have to leave. They had already been in the store about 10 minutes and were almost ready to check out.This manager caused such a problem that other customers were stopping to see what happened. PLUS their own signs say they will stay 6 feet away from customers but she was about 2 feet from them for a good 5 minutes arguing about it even though The sign was pointed out and that he was complying. If they would have just let them go about their business, they would have been done and out of there as happy customers. Instead theyre both upset, crying, and Incredibly angry. It was NOT ok for them to treat any paying customer that way!!!!They harassed an autistic boy, when the governors orders CLEARLY state medical exemptions are part of the mask mandate. You have to be almost heartless to treat a child this way, let alone harass their parent, not only in front of the child, but other people as well! This is AWFUL behavior. Shame on you!

Absolutely love this place! Everyone is super helpful and friendly. Well organized and amazing prices

Blick has an amazing custom framing and printing department! An extremely large selection of mats, frames, and glass options. I was amazed they could do special mat cut shapes. Very fast and even had in-store frame supplies to make it even faster! I highly recommend.

I recently went to blick to get some art supplies and I came across an employee named Richard who was very arrogant and rude. He was no help at all and didn’t seem to care about helping me. I will not be going to this location of Blick with this horrible experience with Richard. I want someone who is willing to help me and not dismiss me. This is unacceptable. Please talk to him about his behavior because Im sure Im not the only one this has happened to. Im rating this a 2. Not because of the actual store or the other employees but because of Richard!

Really great collection of art materials for professionals, students, and amateurs. Great deals too.

Great store! Great selection, friendly (not pushy) salespeople!

I’m happy to pay a few cents more than online shopping in order to be able to touch and feel my supplies - especially paper and brushes. I wish they had a better selection of watercolor panels but it’s not a deal breaker. The employees are helpful and seem to know the products well. This is my favorite place to spend a gift certificate.

The staff is really nice. Prices are kinda high but quality is good.

Me and my brother was up there a couple of days ago to get some material and Richard was AMAZING!!!! THE FACT THAT SHE DID NOT MIND TELLING IT LIKE IT IS MAKES ME APPRECIATE DOING BUSINESS WITH A GENUINE PERSON FOR ONCE

And older blicks, more crammed, but good stuff.

Im a professional freelance illustrator whos works youve seen in books, magazines, dozens of TV series and in three motion pictures. Nineteen years ago I moved from Laguna Beach, California to Mesa and later to Pinal County where I serve in a sworn, badged law enforcement job employed by the state. Blick Art Materials has been around for considerably longer than Ive known they exist. Three years ago, my wife started abstract pouring painting and carried it from our family web site to YouTube to the State Fair to two separate and very exclusive galleries in Phoenix and Deer Valley. Shes been shopping Blick for around a year. Walking into Blick in Tempe is like walking into a Swiss fudge factory! Its stuffed to the bursting with ALL the supplies Lori and I need! Blick literally carries ever major and minor work tool, implement, paint brand, color and chemistry she needs. Blick carries EVERY brand of pen, ink, pencil and acrylic I need to collect my earnings. But most importantly, as challenging as this can be, they provide extra-special customer service to our behaviorally-challenged, multiply-diagnosed, ADA Special Needs young adult! I only recently learned of Blicks existence and have only been there four times. Our son has only been there four times. He cannot wait to go back! Neither can we!

I will start off saying Blick has a wide range of inventory.That said ... Most of it is in shambles, the paint brush section was picked over and the inventory that was left appeared used or damaged.They do carry high end brushes that are in plastic if youre okay with $30.00+ a brush.

We had custom framing done. Richard did an excellent job helping us select the frame and mat. The finished product was exactly what we wanted.

Fantastic art supplies. Great store in Tempe. Knowledgeable staff. Great selection. Awesome prices. Thanks Blick!

Awesome!! The BEST customer service ever!! I wasnt feeling well, but my girls absolutely had to have art supplies-they were inspired. Suzy (?-sorry if I got the new wrong name) great advice, helpful and took 2 young girls seriously. Absolutely the best-hands down. Serious, practical, genuine interest and talent. Cant beat that coupled with the value. Our new go to art stop.

Its great to have a Blick close by. They carry a lot of supplies that are not carried by larger chain hobby stores, and the prices are competitive. Staff is always friendly and willing to help you find things, and if they dont stock it they will order it in for you.

We went to Blick at Tempe this afternoon to look for an easel. There are several options for us to choose from. I have done some research before hand but these are similar but different items. Very fortunately, Jaqayla, a Blick associate was closed by. She was quick to give us a very specific instructions as the pros and cons of each item.We were very impressed with her knowledge of the merchandise. Also, she was courteous, kind and had provided us additional information regarding the Click membership and online benefits. We made our purchase in less than 10 min. because of her assistance.We are definitely coming back! Thank you, Jeqayla!Valerie H.

I came here for the first time, browsing for a new sketchbook and pencils. I was impressed with the overall quality and organization of the materials. The clerks were very attentive and knowledgeable. I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of money I ended up spending--lower than I expected. Also, they offer a free rewards card & discount program for ASU students--bring your ID to show for it.

I’m trying to get on hold with some associates but the number does not reach me to them... they need to fix that

A paradise for art lovers. You get almost everything but prices are higher when compared to other stores.

Everyone is very nice and also helpful. I found what I needed plus more!

Blick is one of the art shops that does not get as much recognition as it deserves and I think any local artists or traveling artist should stop by Blick in Tempe! It has amazing art products and tools in the most helpful staff that are so excited to help any customer that walks in. They have art studios on selected dates and also a discount for college students available. What could there be about this Art Shop that any artist would not love?

Absolutely love this place. Ive been going here for about 5 years now and have never had a bad experience. Management really cares and takes an interest in what youre doing and needing. I needed a design kit for ASU that they were already sold out of, and the assistant manager (whos shift had just ended) spent his personal time to ensure that myself and another student had everything we needed. Their stock is a generally high, but inexpensive quality. Best for beginner, intermediate, and experienced artists alike.

I love the Tempe location! The people are awesome and I love the the items I bought today. I bought my first set of Blick Illustrator Markers and they are excellent!! I look forward to my next shopping excursion!

Blick is so new to me that my phone doesnt recognize the word, but I still spent over a hundred dollars on my first trip... Yeah they have a lot of awesome art supplies.

Very helpful. Wish they stocked more miniature paints like vallejo or something but it is what it is. Good airbrush parts selection

Great place to go for all your art supplies

Loved the selection and web price match. Friendly customer service. The discounts were helpful too. They had most everything.

I will be back to the store again, it has everything a artisan would ever want.

Highly recommend this place for all your art supply needs. Especially if you are an ASU student.

One of the best supply stores in town.

I came here with a request of trying to match something. The staff was outstanding and helped me in every way possible. They even tried to save me money. The selection is superb, staff amazing, and I dont have a single complaint. I would and will return.

This store has great prices and great energy. It is a happy place.I hate the parking lot -- it is awkward to navigate. But thats not Blick Arts fault.I specifically shop at this art store because they carry a wide variety of Copic markers and Copic marker refills. It is super convenient to drop in quickly and buy what I need instead of waiting a week to get them in the mail.The staff are always helpful and seem genuinely happy to work there.

Staff was very helpful when I needed to get for a project, and no clue what the common name for it was. So much crammed into a small space.

Been coming here for a few years and everytime I get what I need and always tend to pick up a few things I didnt plan on :)The selection and prices are awesome and if you sign up for the store card they can match the online price from their website in store so I dont need to worry about finding the best price.Staff are nice and friendly, and they know their stuff when I was into painting I got a bit of a run down on the different paints and brands, what kind of products I should and shouldnt use yet.

The best art store. Reasonable prices, helpful employees!

Has many choices for art supplies. Very nice laid out store. My daughter fell in love with the color pencils.

Like stepping back in time for me. I learned architectural drafting in the days before CAD. Ive recently started a project and I wanted to draft it Old School. Blick had almost everything I wanted and way more than I needed.If you want to build architectural models, theyve got what you need. If youre an artist, they have it all.Nice people. Pretty good selection. Pricing is okay.

They had everything plus some. WOW!!!

Fantastic place for arts supplies. Knowledgeable and friendly staff.

Good prices, especially when you buy several mix and match items to get the discount. Tends to have copic refills in stock. Good place to buy individual colors that meet your needs.

Always helpful, always lovely staff and give great art advice when trying out new mediums(:

Great place lots of coo art material. Had to pick up some stuff for an architectural class. My class had different material so just double check your material.

I love coming here for my art supplies and to shop for others

Good variety of items. I always feel like a kid in a candy store. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The free loyalty card gives automatic price matching to their online deals.

Its a nice art store, but why is everything so overpriced!!!! Its a nice place to stock up in gel pens, acrylic paints, or even buy supplies for an art class, but everything just seems so overpriced. Luckily, they do have a membership discount! Its free to become a member.Moral of the story: Nice place, but overpriced :(thats the tea.

Great service

Great art and crafts supply store. They many hard to find items as well. Very large supply of inventory at very reasonable prices.

There are three main art stores in the Phoenix Metro area. Blick has the most reasonable selection of art supplies. It has nice selection different from the other with it store brand. The brush selection is nice and the paint selection is mostly Nationwide brands. Youll also find hard to find items here (blue mech lead), silicon modeling tool.

Amazing selection of everything, and I Do mean every thing that has anything to do with art. And a super nice, really helpful staff. I am not an artist, but this place really makes me wish that I was..... An artist.

I think I spent about two hours in the store. The staff was so helpful in fact I think I was offered assistance by 12 different people so they were almost too helpful but I didn’t mind. I don’t think there’s a single store that offers absolutely every type of art supply that’s out there but this store definitely has something from just about every category there is. I’m sure if you can’t find it in there you can definitely go to their website. I definitely recommend it.

I go to this place regularly. Ive done all my school shopping here and the selection has always been great. The customer service has always been great as if Im looking for something specific theyll give me the best answer they can. The only time Ive gone in and seen them out of something it turned out it just wasnt stocked. They got it from the back for me and saved me the trouble of going to another store or online. Overall a great store for any artist.

Art store near ASU. Has pretty much everything you’ll need from canvases, to sculpting equipment.

I love how they email you the receipts. Great for tax time.

I stopped by Blick to look for some painting supplies for a gift for my girlfriend. Im completely out of my element in an art store, however, one of the employees took the time to understand what I was looking for and walked me around showing me where to find everything I needed. Awesome employees. The selection seemed and the store was very clean and organized too.

Super fun store to visit! Got a great deal on some paints and everyone working there was very helpful. Also thanks to Nate for helping me figure out my Blick account.

Good prices, friendly staff.

Im pretty much addicted to buying art supplies, whether it be for for my hobbies or because Im forced to due to my degree. either way, they almost always have exactly what I need; rarely do they not have what youre looking for

Great selection. So many options

Love the aesthetic. Service is great

This place is trouble. In a good way. I could spend every cent I have in this joint. Recommend. In a good part of town also. But be careful during rush hours.

Decently stocked art store. Its pricey but its quality. Staff is nice and helpful, and its bigger now they moved over a spot in the same complex.

Super helpful people and all sorts of art supplies. Also cute little trinkets. Student discount if you have an ID

Great selection of supplies and great prices. Worth the 12 minute drive, staff is also friendly and helpful. They always have specials on products and offer a student discount. A+!

New store layout. Much Fuller selection

Blick’s is always great :) They offer a good student discount and they honor other online prices at different stores. If they don’t have something they will order it for you or help you find a suitable alternative. Their modeling wood products rarely ever have warps which is super important. Their online store is a little wonky to navigate but in person it’s great :)

Great place to get any art supplies you can dream of!

Great place for all your artistic adventures

Love Blick! Has great products and demos during events!

Just a really cool shop. Im always amazed at what they have in here, and I dont think Ive ever gone in looking for something and not found it at Blick.

Great place to stop in and get some supplies. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful and will help in any way they can in my experience

My favorite art supply store!!!

Great selection of spray paint!! So get your tag on!!

I asked for some help finding something, and the employee talked me ear off for so long that I was late for class.Overall a nice store though, with a good selection of supplies.

I came here with a friend and the staff was really friendly.

Friendly staff, high quality supplies, good variety

I have been ordering from the Blick catalog for years. Having a location in the area is awesome. If you are serious about art at all; you owe it to yourself to get acquainted with Blick.Not only does Blick carry many of the top brands, but they also have theyre own house brand. The quality on the Blick brand products are very comparable to the name brands for about 20% less.The staff is friendly and helpful. I also recommend joining the Blick club for extra savings.

Very down to earth and excellent niche stuff

They almost always have my favourite selection of art supplies

Great selection. Nice to browse art supplies in person vs just the Blick website. If you’re a Preferred Customer (it’s free to join), you will pay the same in store as online.

Nice employees and tons of merchandise in a small store!

Helpful staff. Good selection. Decent prices. Good student/teacher discounts.

Attendants were joyous and helpful but not pushy. The art supplies were organized and easy to find. overall clean store.

Very helpful staff, greeted us when we entered! Love that!

Good people and easy to find things. But hate how ASU makes you get supplies there and how you cant pick and choose what you want out of the kits for classes.

This is a wonderful place to get pretty much everything you imagine for creating art

Amazing! They are always so helpful and friendly! Love it here!

First time there, at the worst possible time as theyre moving to the space next door, yet they were still incredibly helpful and friendly. TheWife and I are looking forward to going back when theyre all settled in and wandering the aisles.

I drove all the way out here to get supplies for my art course, they have a great selection but the people at the register forgot to hand me my drawing pads. I ran back but got there at 6:01pm, They closed and now Ill have to drive all the way back out here to get the supplies my teacher demands that I can only get here... needless to say I disliked their forgetfulness

Even though I already know what Im looking for, its really nice that every time I walk through their doors Im asked if I need any help finding what one looking for.

Their paper is really great for printing money on... i mean art.

The employees were helpful & nice, the store was clean & organized, and the prices were great!!

One of my favourite store to shop, compare, and seek out art supplies. 10/10 for friendly customer service and great staff

Very busy place. Filled with ASU students.
