Better than my college rejecting access to school store to me. Really salty considering stress and lacking of time to do covid testing.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Very well stocked

I love the customer service in this shop. It was amazing! I had a young lady help me pick out my supplies for class. She was super nice and took her time to get my supplies. The cashier person was also nice. I will be coming back to this blick more often.

Great selection of art supplies, the staff is extremely friendly and polite, and will suggest which items would be good for you depending upon your requirement.

Fun art supply store, lots of variety and little things to see!

Super helpful staff and had everything we needed. Great place.

Has just about anything you can think of. Prices can a little steep but its expected because they have all name brand products and the quality is out of this world. All professional products... Not your average Crayola crayon and Sharpie marker quality store (although they carry those as well).

Attentive and nice staff. The aisles are marked for one-way traffic but its never been very busy the times Ive gone. They keep the front doors open and have a little sanitation station right when you enter. And besides good safety, they have all the art stuff Ive ever needed. However they dont seem to stock some of the more bizarre canvas sizes, so call ahead if you are looking for something super specific, otherwise you can check the fenway location too.

Healthy selection of unique painting materials, great brushes, and a helpful & friendly staff. Visit often for varying sales.

It had the pencils I needed for my architecture class. The store itself is a bit cramped but it seemed to have everything people would need and the prices are very reasonable

Forget Amazon! I go to Blick When I am buying oversized or hard to find odd size sketch paper, sketching boards or framing materials and mats to hang my art and photography work. The staff at Massachusetts Avenue store is so sweet and helpful and knowledgeable!

As soon as I walked in, the kind employees greeted me and offered their assistance if I needed anything.I found everything I wanted and it was a smooth checkout. Very pleased.

The place to go for all things art. Awesome staff.

With Rona on the rise, they are open and providing great art supplies and great service. I called in and they were ready to take my order like it was an everyday thing. I bought a tie dye kit and it was the perfect activity to practice social distancing with.

They were so nice and helpful to you when you were looking for your items to buy.

Great shop for art supplies. Youll probably get everything art related here. The staff is extremely courteous and helpful. You also get a 10% discount if youre a student.

This blick is a truly amazing art store. Tons of interesting and unusual art supplies. The staff are all amazing and helpful. They great at helping you figure out what you need for a project without making you feel dumb.

I love shopping at this store. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. They know all the products well and exactly where they are located. They do not just tell you where something is located, they gladly show you exactly where it is. The staff is very knowledgeable and will offer you helpful answers to any questions you have about their products or to recommend the best product for a particular issue or idea. They gave a huge supply of fine art supplies and their online service is fast and efficient. Their prices are competitive and I enjoy spending time shopping at their different locations.

This particular store has a deep offering for oil paints and all the needed accoutrements. Unique layout and location, and fun to visit. The staff is very familiar with the store, but not overly nice in assistance.

Shop there for years great place

Blick is always great no matter which one I go to. Ive been going for 15 years between Chicago, Florida, and now Boston. This location is extra fun for me because of the layout and the employees have always helped me find exactly what I need.

Wow this store is amazing. I went there looking for 20 different things and I found all of them. Thanks to the workers oh men so helpful she went and search everything for me I didn’t even have to move she did it all. Definitely 5 stars.

I was very excited to find this store in the middle of Boston. I came to Boston to visit & intended to draw, as is my habit, but I forgot to bring drawing pencils. I love art supply stores that have a character of its own. I had a great conversation with the guy who helped me find the pencils. He suggested some watercolor pencils. The store is about halfway between the Back Bay train station and the MFA and the Isabella Gardner museum. It was a part of a very meaningful day for me.

I would love to give this place 5 stars since my daughter loves it. However, I just my last experience was very unpleasant. I was making a purchase using a 15% off coupon emailed to me. Upon seeing my total I asked if the coupon was applied. Cashier said yes, so I continued to pay with my debit card. Once I got my receipt I realize the coupon was NOT applied, I walked over to double check the price on the items. I went back to the register and she said that “her computer said it was applied” so she will need to do a refund in order for her manager to handle it. The manager comes over and says that because it was a “book price” it over writes the coupon discount..... whatever that means. Technically, my coupon could not be applied and I would need to repurchase my items if I wanted them. Why couldn’t have I been told this the first time?? It was a small purchase, but having to make a purchase, return it and repurchase it all in the matter of minutes? And having the cashier said “it did go through”. Don’t waste my time! Not once did she apologize, I did have her manager say “sorry about that” but she could have cared less about her lack of knowledge and miscommunication.

Great selection and extra helpful staff. Theres also a discontinued/ sale section in the basement where Ive doing some really cool stuff. Great place for art supplies, whatever your skill level of expression of!

While normally a fan of local art stores over even small chains, the staff at this location are friendly and helpful everytime I go in. Maybe its the proximity to the universities or the inspiration from Symphony Hall across the stress but the highly knowledgeable staff make finding supplies for your next creative endeavor a true treat.

They have just about anything any artist could ever want very good place to go prices are a little high, but for the convenience, its great.

Great store! I will absolutely be a repeat customer.

Awesome customer service!!!

Great store, forgot about this one @ at Symphony. Always went to the one @ Fenway. Will do my at this location.

This place is wonderful. The staff were super friendly and very helpful. They greeted me with a warm Hello! and Felix showed me right to the things I was looking for. We found them so quickly that I had time to chat with him and his colleagues about Maine, the Knife Lady, and how rude people can be to folks who work in retail. Definitely coming back. Thanks, Blick!

Employees are super nice and helpful

Friendly staff. Great array of supplies. But oh how prices have risen for art supplies in general, for art supplies since 1975!

If they dont have it, theyll hunt it down while you wait..great staff, very helpful and knowledgeable!

Great selection and conveniently located. Helpful staff who assisted me

They are very friendly and they had almost everything I needed

Knowledge staff, great customer service, everything I needed was in stock!

Cool art supplies but no Winsor and Newton acrylics. Let me replace a pen I bought that had been tested a bunch without looking at a receipt !!

Very helpful, knowledgeable staff and such amazing products. We never leave empty- handed!

The employees were very nice, welcoming and knowledgeable

The place is nice for artists who need to get their hands on basic art Staples. However if youre looking for personalized gifts or very specific items, its not the place at all. Its literally just an art supply store nothing more and nothing less (except the price for merchandise). You would think that with the price tags on their items that theyd have more variety sadly thats not the case.

Teaching myself screen printing. The sales team were so helpful in assisting me in purchasing the best (not most expensive) supplies. They were super honest and didnt make me feel idiotic. Will be going back for more art supplies.

Good selection of art materials. My only issue is the employees. I went to compare prices with the art store across the street and decided not to buy anything. I had an employee follow me out of the store and for another 20 minutes while I got lunch. Maybe they thought I was just a kid trying to steal stuff? Either way it was incredibly creepy.Artist and Craftsman across the street has just as much selection for the same price, or cheaper, and the employees dont stalk you.

Super sweet staff and very helpful!

Best service in town. I bring all my friends from out of state

This used to be where Utrecht was before Blick ate them. Symphony location right next to Mass Ave on the Orange line is convenient. Not as big as the Landmark location but they have a slightly different selection

The best selection of art supplies Ive ever seen. I had a hard time choosing markers, there were so many options.

Unfortunately, I can not share a good experience about this store this Sunday, May 19th. I came to store from an hour away. It was first time for me and excited. Picked up a lot of items to buy. The staff in the store were nice and helpful. But the store manager was horrible. I had 3 gift cards from my same friend to use. The cashier could use two of them and not the third one. The cashier tried to find solution, called customer service if the gift card is valid and have the balance and they confirmed and he tried few tricks etc. then he had to call the manager. However, the manager had no idea about how to fix the solution and she didnt even apologize after waiting 45 min at the cashier. I called my family to pick me up when we were processing at the cashier. So, they came form where they were parked to pick me up but they couldnt and had to wait at the rainy day for me outside about an hour circling at the traffic assuming that I would be done in any minute. Manager told me that I can not use the gift card and either have to pay or come back on Monday. Long story short, I had to leave a lot of material which I spent long time to pick from store and left. As soon as I came home, I went online blick-art store and used my gift card for the cheaper price for each item, with very nice and helpful people who knew what they were doing. They said that they price match with online. Here is how their match: I paid $24 for a canvas instead of $60 at store. So, this was the first and probably the last visit to this store...Go online for pleasant shopping

I saw Best place to chill

The store was great my first time there ever since I saw it and always asked to go since and is a great store!

First time went there,Great staff help!!!

Blicks has a very good range of limited art supplies is great employees were always helpful always knows what you need too

Got every single pens I love there. Copic, crayola, tombow, golly rolls, for modern calligraphy and arts

Its a great art store thats got what you need when you need it.Dont let Amazon win - shop at brick and mortar stores.

Very nice staff and quality materials at affordable prices. You could save some money on supplies if sign up for their Blick card.

Great place with a lot of options for the regular artist, designer, or architect. Drawing, painting, and drafting tools, accessories, supplies, and furnuture are available. This partical Blick has two levels. The lower level is where there are canvases, kids supplies, drafting tables, sketchbooks, frames and easels.

Theyll have everything you need for decent prices. Overall, a good atmosphere.

Conveniently located and with an impressive selection for such a seemingly small store. This location seems to ALMOST have everything. However, if youre looking for something very specific you might be better off ordering from their website.

Great place for drafting and modeling needs for young architects in college.

Everything I every wanted. A little overpriced!

A little bit overpriced, but really helpful and nice employees. Also one of the only places to get art supplies in the area, so it’s definitely helpful. Pretty good discounts for students as well, along with frequent sales.

Great selection of tools at a reasonable price. Staff are knowledgeable and are very helpful and nice. They are interested in helping you find find the right tool for your job.

The staff was most friendly and helpful I could have asked for. Pointed me at the right direction with opinions and options. Free blick customer preferred membership guarantees you cheapest online price where you can get reimbursed. Definitely the go to art supply store!

Absolutely love this art store! They have everything a budding artist needs. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about how the products work. They love to help you find exactly what you need. Many of their locations are right by a MBTA stop, which makes carrying home large canvases, easy. Lastly, they support local artists with fun in- store calls to contribute artwork, to win store credit. Boston couldnt be an artist haven without Blick Art Materials.

Have been going to this location for years. Though small, they almost always have the supplies I need. Definitely recommend subscribing to the email newsletter and picking up a free loyalty card - they send out coupons frequently. Deducting one star because many of the items are overpriced and at my last visit, they forgot to ring me up for several things.

This is a wonderful place with a huge collection of art supplies.

Ample artist supplies, very helpful staff.

I like this art supply store. Its never crowded. The staff are friendly and helpful and they have so many sizes of paper. I actually buy most of my scrap paper for math work here since I find it easier to work without lines or a grid.

Best art store in the world. This place is where the Real Deal Go. No joke!

Huge selection of art supplies! I came upon the place by accident but stopped in as I was prepping for my first show of fine art photography prints and needed something to sign them with and some logan mat cutter blades. I got exactly what I needed and for a fair price. If I didnt live so far away Id be in more often!

Great displays and selection. Decent prices

This is a cute, really comprehensive place for artist materials. Its oddly close to another Blick which is bigger and has more in stock, though. But this one is good in a pinch!

They are always very kind and helpful!

Great customer service.

I loved it ..

Great selection. Staff can be a little snooty

Art loving people can find huge material for their work in professional way

Great place to browse and try out a variety of different artist pens. Great selection!

Great store! So much selection!

Pretty cool!

All the art supplies you want for a good price.

Awesome staff and basically anything a starving artist would need to practice or present!

They were very helpful

Get my Art on..this is my spot

Great customer service

They have a decent selection for a small space. They also host demos and competitions every once in a while. Sadly they dont post it online. You have to go by the store do see events.

Awesome choices for art materials. I could easily spend more than a couple hours here.

Always love this place

I like a variety of arts and crafts

They didnt have what I need for my art. But they have a lot of cool stuff and ended up buying a bunch of stuff I dont need.

Always has what I need as a design student, even if everything is pretty pricey. But the employees know what and where things are and are always willing to help customers.

Tons of high quality art supplies and they do online price match automatically so you always get any online deals in store.

Great place to get asst supplies yippy cant find anywhere else.

Super helpful, in and out in just a few minutes. Found exactly what I needed.

One of the best parkour spots in Boston and they keep the vibe strong for the boiz training!!

Good to buy art related stuff.

Very good will come back

Incredibly helpful staff and varied selection with reasonable prices.

Helpful and knowledgeable stuff, professional tools and materials.

Best variety and selection of art supplies in the Boston area.
