    Staff is creative, on point, informed, well-spoken, and very helpful when it comes down to details. They actually went the extra mile and contacted other Blick locations to help me find exactly what I was looking for. And I was looking for something very specific. Kudos to floor associates and leadership team - I was impressed.

    The staff were so wonderfully helpful, after 6pm on a week day. I find the complexity of the art equipment language overwhelming. They were so kind and helpful, I left the store with exactly what I needed and no more. THANKYOU!!!!
