    Great place, wide selection, and the employees were sweethearts. If you’re looking for an art portfolio book, this is the place to go! It’s a little pricey, but that’s the life of a college student, right? Anyway, shop here for portfolio books, art supplies, or just check in and find some cute things near the entrance.

    Great place. Has most everything you might need for an art project. Parking was a nightmare but otherwise a quick trip. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

    Blick Art Materials in Tempe is terrific! I've recently started drawing again and was able to stock up on various grades of drawing pencils, sketch pads, pencil sharpeners, and kneaded erasers. The Itoya Art Portfolios have also come in handy to store my collection of old art gallery invites and postcards. I look forward to visiting Blicks again soon!

    Top notch customer service! I’m a fish out of water in an art store. I was handheld through my shopping experience as I am new to painting. Employees were knowledgeable and willing to share their expertise to a newbie. Definitely my #1 go-to when I need supplies!
