Pretty large art store with very good customer service. I've never been here and I needed art supplies for my class. A lady who worked there came up to me and asked if she could be my personal shopper. She was really nice and helped me get all the required materials for my class. It was a tad bit expensive but if it's good quality art supplies, I'll pay more.

Every item I needed was in stock, the order was ready waiting for me when I arrived, and the cashiers were friendly and helpful. I definitely will return when I need more supplies.

Not a fan of how this business' practice profits off the poorest of its poor customers. I love how much Blick has to offer, they had a couple supplies I needed. But I paid in cash, and waited in uncomfortable silence for the rest of my change. When the cashier still said and did nothing, I awkwardly asked if I could please have the rest of my change. To which I was told they didn't have pennies...therefore, I did not receive my full change back.
I didn't use a card because as a student with no source of income over the summers, I'm entirely living off of student loans. I was paid in cash for pet-sitting I was fortunate to get from family this summer. Only to be robbed in broad daylight of my change. If I'd known I wouldn't get my change back, I would have just taken the hit on my credit card. I want to give this store more stars, but I feel I can hardly justify 3 in light of that. I hope they turn things around so as to not profit off their poorer customers who pay in cash. The irony of the excuse of them "not having any pennies." If they rob just a handful of customers of their cash the way they did me, they could have easily afforded to round up and give me a nickel.
