You can pick up basic art supplies•paints•frames•markers•sketch & Painting books•canvas & more.staff is nice and will try and help. Pricing is a little high but if you want product in hand then thats what it is.

Review №14

Though this is perhaps the smallest art supply store Ive been to, it is also the nicest. That may be because it is an art supply store, rather than a craft store, but if you are a visual artist, this place is absolutely for you. I did not have much money when I visited this time, though the selection is incredible. Will come back for sure when I have more to spend. The staff was also friendly, the store was clean and organized, and service at the registers was fast.

This store was great and seems to be way more affordable than artist & craftsman supply Baltimore. Maybe it doesnt have as much hype as artist & craftsman but deserves more. If youre a starving artist (which are the only true artist) Blick is best. They will check their online store before checkout to make sure you get the lowest price. Thumbs up!

I love BlickArt. They always have the best prices, and they price match their in store items with their online prices. This is my go to store for all of my watercolor supplies. I only wish I could check online to see what they have in stock at my nearest store.

My ABSOLUTE favorite supply shop. If you choose to shop here, get a membership card (its free, and there is almost always a sale on something). They have a wide selection from pens/pencils, light tables, clay, aerosol, paints, inks, brushes, canvases, etc. Yes, SHOP HERE.(FOLLOW MY ART PAGE ON INSTAGRAM @ChilloHaus)

Hard to decide between Blick and Plaza, given theyre pretty close in the immediate. However, the location of this one near Read St does offer a few more parking options than Plaza does over near Cathedral. Just be careful if you park in Rite Aids parking lot, as they apparently do tow people. Theyre both decent supply shops, but check the sales before deciding. Also not sure if Blick offers the student discounts like Plaza. Also, has 2 or 3 bars, and a liquor store, on the same block, in case all your creativity has worked up a need a beverage.

I love this place, especially on Sundays. There is always some kind of deals going on in store. And than their price matching system is amazing. The customer service is awesome too, they are always so friendly and nice and willing to go that extra mile. Oh yeah best thing is parking is free on Sundays, probably the best thing ever.

Review №38

No issues other than they didnt have the items (Rit Fabric Dye) i wanted in stock except the black one. They have a lot of stuff. The rewards card is very helpful. The place feels a bit odd.. but all the employees were nice and helpful.Its also an accessible store for those with wheelchairs as the first way to get in is a ramp. The only issue would be the door and some of the weird angles to get things. I would come back in here for art supplies even if things are a bit pricey!

Review №39

Clean and professional looking with nice staff that answered all my questions. If you sign up for the loyalty/members card you get a discount when compared to the online prices and I also got a student discount which was nice. If I lived closer I would come back more often.

I found all the art supplies I needed for my art classes like a utility kit, micron pens, prisma drawing pencils, paint, and other art stuff. Just ask someone who works there, they will be glad to help you find what you are looking for. Plus, they have sales on art supplies and the stuff is discounted so i day get your moneys worth.

Review №52

I went to Blicks for some Tombow markers and was confused by their prices. When you look at their website it leads you to believe that going to the store will get you a comparable or better price, but I was told that the prices you see online are for home delivery only, and I also believe that the prices you see online are only if you buy a certain dollar amount of items.The confusion was enough to discourage me from going back to the store. Staff is helpful and the selection was typical for an art supply store, though I was disappointed that the Michael Smith paint sample cards werent for sale, so I ended up needing to go up to Plaza Art store in Towson instead. Really not worth the trip if you dont live in the city.

GO TO ARTS & CRAFTSMAN ON NORTH AVE. if you value naturally good-hearted customer service and great prices without the possibility of running into with THE hangry diva employee who cant stop texting on phone while feeding white lies to customers. I wont spend a single dime with Blick Art in-store or online.One of two employees working (chubby male/hipster glasses) was simply rude during my first (and last) visit to store. Store policy states it automatically matches your in-store purchase total with its online counterpart (S&H included), however, I knew such was never completed (chubby male felt the need to get smart when I asked for clarification, knowing policy was either a joke or he was without the vocabulary capacity to express knowledge of policy fully.)I am betting on the latter. Went home, replicated in-store order online and after taxes and shipping, online order was nearly $10 cheaper. He was ultimately wrong or ill-informed. The black gentleman working was patient and extremely helpful. Chubby, possible East Asian boy was wrong, rude and on his phone when not running his mouth. Suffice to say, I returned entire order and took my business elsewhere: ARTS & CRAFTSMAN where my first time was perfect and I met highly knowledgable and engaging employees. tl;dr

Review №86

The staff isnt very friendly. Im not sure if it was me or not. I purchased a few items one in particular was 12 sheets of 98lb paper. When I got to the register two women had to ring me bbq up I had only those 12 sheets of paper and 3 copic markers and a portfolio. So I thought that was strange. When the first cashier saw my items she began counting the paper thats pretty normal I mentioned I had 12 just to let her know. Then second cashier seemed to ignore me and got the papers from the first cashier and begin to spread all 12 out on the counter. She said she liked to count them all out when they are all similar colors*however the colors ranged from cream to tan to beige to grey to white...). I thought this was wierd but I didnt say anything. After she scattered all my papers on the counter she left and let the first cashier finish the transaction. I felt like she was suggesting I maybe trying to steal paper. Which is crazy considering they are .46cents a piece. Im not trying to throw the race card here but I felt very uncomfortable with two people ringing up 12 sheets of paper 3 copic markers and a portfolio seemed like over kill. The store was also half empty as as the second cashier saw me walk around plenty of times she never asked if I needed help. Maybe its just a bad atmosphere Im not sure. But the dc store is much better and the staff is very friendly helpful and diverse. Just saying. Ill keep shopping at the dc store. I feel welcomed there.
