Wow! What a hidden gem. I didnt even know this place existed, but they have a great selection in lettering tools, pens, markers. Love it. Will definitely be making this my go to place for all my lettering needs.

Came here on halloween sometime around noon. Was greeted kindly by the girl at the front door. Usually get great service here but the girl at the checkout was just awful. Short stout girl with curly pinkish reddish hair, if I remember correctly... This woman barely said two words to me, acted like I didn’t exist as a customer took my money that was it. No greeting, hi bye have a nice day not even eye contact and she didn’t ask if I had a blick card to get a discount. Never been treated like that in that store. Honestly, just made me feel like $hit and nobody wants to feel that way when you are spending your money at their establishment. Like I said everybody is usually incredibly friendly, especially the manager very sweet lady like usually everyone in there is super nice but Idk who that girl was at the front desk but it was like bad customer service. I probably wont come back.

A great art store, especially since it was combined with Utrecht, remodeled and made bigger. Blick doesnt carry as much as they have in their catalog, but its nice to pick out colors and try things in person. Still, you can get a better deal online when you watch for sales.Its a 15 mile trek for me, so I dont go as often as I would like.Parking is very limited. If you go on the weekend, you may not find a place to park. Their employees are generally helpful and friendly.

They have everything. Even spray paints, which is unusual. Helpful employees and fast checkout. Open 7 days a week, a real plus

Totally awesome place to pick up supplies for art work. Prices are about average. I would much rather go here than a large chain art craft store even if I had to pay a bit more price wise. Help was amazing you could tell just talking to them that they were passionate about their own art. Very eager to help you find what you need and offer advice if youre not sure or wanting suggestions. Top notch!

I love Blick! They always take such did care of me.

Everything an artist (or aspiring artist!)needs to make beautiful things. Prices are fair and the sales make supplies that may have been out of reach before, more affordable. Wish there was one of these close to me.

This place is amazing! Workers are super friendly and helpful, always a pleasure coming to the store! Wide variety and good stock.

I had an absolutely horrible experience with a short-statured, short, curly, haired female worker who berated me for not having a card that had a PIN attached so I couldn’t buy my items. I asked if there was a way to bypass this and she shrugged and replied, “you can leave now!” I will never be returning.

Not the largest selection but great to have. Conveniently in midtown is nice as there a few of us artsy types who need these things.Staff was pleasant enough.

I love going here theres always sales and the staff is always helpful and informative. Even during this Covid mess everything was quick and easy!

Centrally located art store in Midtown KC (near Art Institute). Convenient location with friendly service.

I love this store! All the employees were very kind and super helpful. They are also having some fantastic sales until Feb 2020 so check them out!! Definitely returning.

We found what we were looking for. Sabrina did a great job showing me where the items are.

I love this store. It has everything you need and more! The staff are especially nice, knowledgeable and very helpful. It is so fun to shop here. I highly recommend.

I find the staff very helpful and pleasant and the store always seems well stocked with what Im looking for.

Great staff! I called about 140 lb hot press watercolor paper and when I arrived the associate remembered me and got it ready. It was quick, friendly and left me feeling good about creating some art. They have oodles of all kinds of art supplies, too. Highly recommended!

I love this store.We went to another art supply establishment first today, walked through the door to be greeted with a very disinterested hello and just found the atmosphere unwelcoming. Not good when a family member is visiting the US and checking out the arts district. So the store lost our custom.Anyway we headed to Blick instead and the staff there were welcoming and helpful. I did say to one of the staff members there that the customer service was terrible in the last store we went to. It is just such a nice atmosphere in Blick. Plus they have some good sales on. And I tend to use them quite a bit especially for online deliveries.

I’ve been going here for a few years now. My daughter is the artist, I know nothing about any of this and everyone has been helpful, from maximizing deals to finding the right paints. This last time they help me navigate the different “mediums” and find adorable boxes of clay and paints. For someone that doesn’t fit in they’ve treated me great and the prices are the best.

Helpful staff, big selection of quality products

I love that a store like this exists: an art supply store for real artists, although the staff here has never failed to be helpful for the less artistically-minded, either. In fact, the people here are very understanding and kind. Check it out, if you havent.

Great shop happy friendly knowledable staff great selection of high quality art supplies. Something for everyone a true artists store. A beautiful stay of pigments in every medium you can imagine...ok a few of you can imagine some wild stuff so.maybe not everything YOU can imagine but the shop does hold a great number of things that artist need. I would recommend that if you are reading this you just go down and check out what I am talking about.

Good enough art store but completely wrapped up in the Covid hysteria. Face masks have been proven time and again to be ineffective placebos, yet Blick requires them to enter the store and only allow 10 ppl in at a time, including employees. 30 minuteslater and i had the can of paint i needed. You know who doesnt have these policies? Amazon and Hobby Lobby - ill just go there next time i need something! Youre putting YOURSELVES out of business!

I went to Blicks today to shop art supplies locally for some watercolor projects. Three different people there helped me find what I needed and offered great suggestions for alternatives and comparisons. I felt at ease to browse at my leisure even if it was the last hour of their shift. They had current info on what was happening with the manufacturers of the products and whether the product quality for each brand was going up, down or maintaining its current value. I highly recommend that if you are in KC looking for a good fine art supply store, you check out Blicks Art Supply first.

The selection is great but the staff is pretty rude.

Black art materials now for this review its cut-and-dry. They Have the largest selection of markers for graffiti. They have a A team of employees who I guess you could say they have a great knowledge of their products they also have a program for frequent customers to save money and earn points . I would also like to add If you were a fan of the city life than this is the place to go its right downtown on Main Street you know then afterwards you can hand up in Listen to Some music

Small but has everything I needed.

Staff told me that the fabric markers I was looking for wouldnt show up on my black laptop bag and told me i needed special acrylic markers that were like 10$ each and when i tried them they didnt work and i ordered the ones I originally wanted for less than 15$ for a whole set and they showed up just fine

Amazing selection of products. Great staff, super helpful, I was honestly blown away by the service they provide. Will definitely be back.

They were very helpful and friendly! Even close to closing time they didnt try to kick us out or rush us.

Nice small store with plenty of Art supplies. Friendly helpful staff and great prices with good sales..

Really helpful, patient staff. Parking was great. Brushes I wanted were under lock and key, but staff was very responsive to getting them. Highly recommend.

They are always well stocked. I can always find what I need.

This is the Best art store in town (of the four that I know of). It seems that everything is always stocked and I can’t remember ever having to go somewhere else because I they were out of something.It’s not a super trendy art store with loud alternative music and cool atmosphere ( I guess the name “Blick” would imply that). But if you just want something or if you’re not sure what you want but pretty sure you’ll know it when you see it, then this is the place.The only complaint I have is with the parking. It’s tight, but you can always find a spot.

This place is incredible! The people that work the store are always super willing to help you, friendly, find anything, or answer any questions. The store is very clean and organized, but has a ton of selection to choose from. on top of that they are always running special pricing and sales, and while there materials are of good value, the quality is also of a high standard. Honestly one of my favorite stores in Kansas City.

Terrible customer service. I called to see if they had the right stretcher bars for my canvas and I asked when they close on Friday. I was told 7pm. I drove in 20+ miles from Basehor, KS and actually arrived at 6:05.Closed.Knocked on the door and spoke with the assistant manager who said there was nothing she could do because she closed out her register for the day. She said that I spoke on the phone with their newest employee, who didnt know the hours. What? That should be the first thing that an employee is told to an employee who is answering the phone.I was also told to come back when they are open. I wont. Lost me as a customer. Too bad.

Everyone was helpful and friendly!

Such helpful and knowledgeable folks to assist me so willing. It was a refreshing experience!

The staff here are amazing, so helpful and knowledgeable. The inventory is the best in town!

It always has everything I need at a reasonable price.

Great sele tion of art supplies, ataffed by some knowledgeable artists.

This place always has great stuff. Gets my creative juices going just stepping inside. Always seem to have friendly service too.

Huge selection. Store brand oil paints are pretty good too. Canvas prices could be better.

Very knowledgeable staff, helped me find what I was looking for on several projects. Store is somewhat small and therefore does not have the selection one might hope for. Parking is tricky as well.

When Michaels failed me in the colored pencil department (empty shelves) Blick saved the day by having every single Prismacolor pencil in stock! when you need 12 shades of grey because youre anal about gradients, go to Blick. friendly, knowledgeable staff, clean store, fully stocked, thousands of choices. students and teachers get 10% off.

They are always very friendly and helpful. They also have really good prices.

This company is taking orders, accepting payment for orders, then cancelling orders without any notice at all.

This art store is well stocked with all sorts of different types of art supplies. I dont go for the art supplies except for the newspaper sketch pads, which I use to organize my story writing, to keep everything in one area. They have a lot of kitschy stuff, too, fun for the whole family.

Good sale prices. Tons of art supplies and they have their own brand.

Great shop. Knowledgeable staff. Prices arent as good as some of the locally owned stores but they carry a couple of small items I couldnt find anywhere else.

Went to Blick to pick up some watercolor supplies and was helped by the GM, sadly cant remember her name. She was very knowledgeable and helped me pick out a few basics since Im just starting out. Got signed up for their card and saved a little bit of money, signing up got me the lower online price! Will gladly be back for more supplies!

Great variety of Art supplies and make sure to check Blick out online and watch for their great sales ️️

Very helpful staff, excellent selection of materials.

What an awesome art supply store in midtown KC. Located right on main across from Starbucks. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. Tons of options available for whatever your medium.

Helpful staff. Disappointed to not have access to same items as online, and wish that I could have wandered the store trying various products they had on display, etc. Maybe some day when it isnt 100°F outside - their air conditioning wasnt keeping up well.

Staff was ok but great selection!

Good, but small. Impossible to get help. Lacking in fabric and sewing art materials.

We love this store. It is great to still have an artist supply vs a craft supply that carries a limited variety of artist materials.

An incredibly wide selection of any art supplies you can imagine. Very helpful staff too.

I never leave empty handed.

Astounding variety of art supplies, for professional arts, hobbiests and children. There was a fabulous holiday sale when we were there--cheaper than catalog prices. The clerks were very helpful and friendly.

Everyone here is so friendly and you cant beat the prices. They always have everything I need. The parking lot can be tricky to get in or out of, but its definitely worth it!

Amazing Art supplies Employees are artists thats great!!

Great for the student artist, some high end stuff. Friendly sales staff

I buy all of my paint here and its a wonderful store with a very helpful staff!

Took my daughter for her birthday and let her go wild!!! Always great prices and the people are so welcoming and helpful!!!

Incredible selection for such a small store- regardless of your craft, style or medium, they probably have what you need. Oh, and the people that work there? They know where everything is. This store is a fine example of what a Dick Blick store can be.

Its kind of like going to school and shopping at the same time . Sarah is amazing not only is she a knowledgeable employee but a talented Artist as well she always makes the shopping experience fabulous !!!!!

Love that store, friendly people, good sales items ..!

Very nice staff and great selection and deals

I usually buy sticker sheets and chipboard from them but I havent been there for a while. The sticker sheets have been discontinued and I wasnt the only one sad to see them go. One of the staff liked to buy them too. They started carrying special effects makeup books. One of which had only been available in Japanese. I wish they would carry more airbrush paint. But they need a bigger location.

Little difficult to find parking and get to, but had a great selection of art supplies and crafts.

The staff was very knowledgeable, knew where to find anything, knew what everything was used for and VERY helpful with questions we had about floating frames. AND its an affordable option to the big box type art supply stores. Loved the place. We will return!

One of the best art supply store in town and a great and knowledgeable staff.

Great place to shop for art supplies

Best art supply store ever!! They have great sales!!

Cozy place well with fairly priced art supplies. Always fun to drop by and see whats new

I go to Blick from time to time and mainly if its to get sketchbooks or specific paper, things essentially you can pick up easy. The prices for other supplies such as pens, pencils, etc can be expensive even with a discount. So if $ isnt an issue go ahead same if youre getting paper or sketchbooks, otherwise Amazon is what Id recommend for everything else and at a better price.

Very good for me most helpful and amazing variety

Really nice art supplies. Good sales.

Great, helpful, employees and plenty of variety in products.

My sister likes this place

A great selection of pens and almost everything else you can think of, the bigger retailers like Michaels cant even touch Blick.

Helpful staff, great supplies.

Fun place if you like art. Frendly, helpful staff. Great selection of all media.

After a day of poor customer service from basic business related experiences with my company - I needed to simply purchase some special pens for my staff for a project. Seth greeted me, WALKED me to the pens he felt would work for me, tested his recommendation so I could see it for myself, then walked me to the register to ring me up. I was in and out in two minutes and was super grateful for the one positive customer service experience in my day. Thank you, Seth, for not just pointing me to an isle and leaving me to fend for myself - even though it was such a small purchase.

Art Supply Store. Nothing else. Dont expect a Michaels or Hobby Lobby experience here.That said, they are a VERY well supplied art store. Pretty much if its a traditional artistic medium, they are going to have something for you.The staff was very friendly and helpful and knew exactly what I was looking for, and where to find it in half a second.Its a bit out of the way for me, but I will be returning. Prices and customer service putting this place high on my list.

...I always find great deals here. They web store match now in store which is a bonus!

Super helpful staff helped me turn my wacky ideas into a reality. Fair prices. Excellent selection of materials.

Love this little shop, great staff & interesting demo dates.

#1 collection of exacto nives , soooooo sharp. Very cool. There was a lady that helped me get glue sticks but not glue sticks but hot glue gun sticks specifically. Good service, good energy. I enjoyed it. Just good place to spend time at. Thank you

Very helpful and well supplied

Great selection of painting, drawing, ink supplies. Prices were competitive with similar products found on Amazon with a member discount card (which doesnt cost anything). Friendly and helpful staff that did a good job of recommending not necessarily the most expensive items, but the best suited for my needs.

Great place to get art supplies

Affordable prices and variety of choices, you will be pleased with what you buy

There distributor parked illegally behind 3 cars including mine. So you know that’ll do it

A toy store for artists. Great prices. Sales every day. Wonderful. Helpful staff :)

I was really looking forward to exploring a vast assortment of art supplies; so I was disappointed with how tiny the store is. The selection of watercolor was quite limited.

So many great choices

Im not much of an artist but my wife loves this place. She is the artist in the family. Every time we go into Kansas City we have to stop here. She always finds a few good deals and everything she needs.
