    Great selection of art supplies and a well organized store with knowledgeable staff who are genuinely helpful. Prices can be a bit high on some items, but the quality and availability usually make it worth the visit. Overall, a reliable and enjoyable place to shop for both professional and hobbyist artists.

    I went to this specific Blick location today [1/10/26] for the first time and loved it. Granted the last time I stepped into any Blick location was back in 2013, I didn't know what to expect, but I thought I'd give it a try anyway. I got some amazing supplies for my upcoming semester at school; on top of that, the staff consisted of nice people overall.

    I could find supplies for my restoration project only in this place. And I’m so grateful to the staff for being caring and supportive to my needs. They helped me to find a few different options and gave me helpful tips. Thank you!

    ...during my last visit, out of the four sizes needed of stretcher lightweight sticks, none was available (that's the reason for the missing stars). Incredibly, though, a young associate - Vincent by his name, went to great lengths to find my stretchers hidden in the bowels of the storage room... He made three trips, although I had said I didn't care too much... He is also very polite, smart and has a pleasant personality... The day was brightened...
