So I went here for the first time today, and the customer service was absolutely fantastic! Everyone that works there is incredibly kind. The sheer variety of art materials to choose from is tremendous (and maybe a little intimidating!) I was looking for a finisher for a wood craft product I had used ink on, and Im glad I asked them first instead of taking a wild guess on Amazon! Its also easy to get inspired if you havent done anything artistic for a while! I would recommend this place to anyone!

Love! Blick! The selection of Art supplies are phenomenal. The Store is Always Clean,The Employees are professional and very helpful and its extremely beneficial! To sign up for the Blick Card Membership! It can save you a lot of money if you have to frequent the Store for supplies. Plus with the Membership some items you purchase are buy one get one free Ive checked the area and the prices are reasonable if not cheaper than buying from other Stores.

Amazing layout! They have everything. Very clean start and staff is extremely helpful

Its a good place to go and calmly buy the art products, though little pricey and after pandemic reopening, the store doesnt have all the products stock...just little disappointed...but thats okay...would always recommend to check out for all the artist.

Enormous selection of art supplies and crafting materials. The staff is very helpful and will go out of their way to help you find things and make suggestions. A lot of the products are higher quality than most craft and art stores, so prepare to spend a bit more.

This place is awesome, and I found pretty affordable. Definitely check it out!

They have a great selection of high quality supplies for art and design students. The workers are very helpful and make sure to sign up for the student card to get extra discounts. Don’t expect to return unused supplies here, they gave me a hard time before.

Stopped in here recently with a comprehensive list of painting supplies, most of which are foreign to me, for a class my daughter is taking. After wandering for a few minutes and feeling very overwhelmed, Dane asked if he could help us. We jokingly just handed him the list, and he did not skip a beat and proceeded to do our shopping for us. We could not have been more thankful. He was SO incredibly helpful, and the entire time he was helping us, he did so with a smile and a genuinely friendly and helpful personality. Based on this experience, I would not hesitate to recommend this store to my friends, and I would definitely shop here again.

I purchased a skull online. But my issue is with the ordering and Blick. I ordered and was offered a discount but when I hit the pay button it went back to the original price. So first thing I had to complain.I was told the price would be adjusted.A week later I was contacted about my experience. The price had never been adjusted. She said shed take care of it and sent me a $20 gift card. BUT I never got the adjustment.Now I want to return the skull for a full refund. What kind of luck do you think I will have with that?

They have a massive supply of art essentials. You definitely wont find endless rows of silk flowers and wedding decor here. They have a extensive selection of anything you could need for drawing, painting or sketching.you can buy prefabricated canvas or you can make your own stretch canvas... how cool is that?

Love this store. This is a more traditional drafting and art supply store. But also, carries arts and crafty stuff too! Great selection of high quality material for the muralist/graffiti arts or sneaker artist. Speaks to the craft of expression. Frames, textile art, markers, brushes. etc. Staff is incredibly attentive and knowledgeable. Ive been in twice this week.

Very cool underground art store!! I visit every time Im in the city and pick up a special new journal. The prices are a little out there but it is in center City so thats kind of to be expected. The store is huge and has everything an aspiring artist might need.

Blick philly is delivering from the store! Next day delivery from time cycle!! It says so on their front door email or call them if you need anything

Not very welcoming due to being accused of stealing.

Awesome art store. The only place around me that has individually sorted Sharpies for sale. When you need only one sharpie in one certain tip size, Blick will most likely have it or something better.

Blick is perfect for serious artists and beginners alike. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. They have better selections of art supplies than Michaels or AC Moore, which are geared towards crafting, not art. They also have a ton of great stocking stuffer type gifts for the holidays, which is why I visited today.

The staff here is always super friendly and helpful. They are there to answer any questions asked with a polite and helpful manner!

Great place to shop for art supplies in Philly, and they have a lot to choose from. As always, I think Blick is a little too expensive (Im not a member, so maybe that would help), and would only go here for specialty supplies that I cant find elsewhere. They are decent at having lower priced, lower end items for those of us who dont make a ton of money while creating art.

Great Art Store! Located in the basement full everything you may need to be creative. Friendly and helpful staff.

Dane was amazing and the knowledge and experience he provided guarantees that we will be frequent visitors. A+ service! Best variety, knowledgeable staff who understand their customers.

They have everything thing there. I love this place. Its the best art store.

The best art store I have ever been in! It is huge! Low prices and huge selection.

I went to this place for the first time yesterday and I was in lovvvvee!! It was a very large selection and many options to choose from beginner or pro. They had employees that were very helpful on the floor and at the register. I was very happy with my purchases for my daughter.

They rearranged the store and now its so airyThe employees are always helpful and pleasant. I love coming here for supplies, and I usually prefer not to deal with people and order things online

Great store, fantastic prices. Keep an eye out for the sales because they make a phenomenal difference in the amount of money you can save. Definitely sign up for the rewards. Staff are very friendly and attentive and very informative. Any section of the store I went to the staff showed how well-versed they are on the vast library of products. Be mindful of the steps going in, they can make carrying bags back out somewhat laborious.

Great staff. Very helpful. I always find what Im looking for. And on the off chance I dont, the staff is there to help out

Always able to find what I want here at a decent price. Signed up for block rewards and got a great discount. Can easily opt in and out of emails.

Great selections and all, but, being in Center City, theres no place to park. I wish they had a ship to store for free option, because they can only stock so much (and its a LOT) but I didnt want to pay shipping for one specific drawing pad.

Didnt have exactly what i was shopping for. I can understand that they are given very limited stock of particular items, in my case, extra soft pastel sets.

Great array of materials. Helpful staff. Low prices.

Great place! A little hard to find but super unique art store, wonderful staff

A basement I wouldnt mind be locked in

Love this place. Great store for fine arts. The staff was so informative and helpful.

Great supply store with some more niche items than other stores like AC Moore. They also frame canvases if you need that kind of service. The place is generally maintained but I notice it can get dusty at times. This makes my allergies go haywire. Other than that, good place with great employees looking to help. Highly recommend over the AC Moore across the street.

The staff is amazingly helpful. Such great advice and products.

Stopped in a few days ago for some first time painting supplies, had no idea what I needed. The first employee who helped me, Tricia, set me up with the paper that I would need quickly and explained to me why I’d need it. Very knowledgeable! And the pad I bought was half off! The second, Dane, was patient with me as I perused the paints and was very helpful, explaining which paints would be best for a beginner and helping me choose some brushes. The paints were also heavily discounted due to the sale they had running. I’ve been very happy with the utrekt paints that he suggested! The last employee, who rung me out, Jasper, signed me up for the blick card and made sure I saved even more money on my purchase. He was very friendly. The store is expansive and has a lot of good supplies, but those could be found elsewhere. What was unique and will keep me coming back was the wonderful staff. I’ve always been an AC Moore regular when it came to crafts and scrapbooking, but now that they’re closing down, the great service I received at blick has definitely locked them down as my new art location.

They have everything an Artist needs from beginners too professionals. Great helpful staff and convenient parking at Macy parking garage on juniper st.

Artists paradise. The staff is friendly and helpful . Prices are reasonable. Stock is plentiful and varied. Paints in every medium, pencils, pastels, books, canvases and panels, stretchers, easels, palettes, inks and more. Theres an aisle for children. There are souvenirs and stickers. I spent a very happy hour roaming what is one of the largest art supplies stores I ever encountered. Sign up for the Preferred Customer Program which matches sales prices elsewhere and their own online prices. Discounts are available also for students and educators. The store is downstairs in LuckyStrike and they have their own entrance as well as an elevator for handicapped access.

They have a ton of art supplies and it looks small from the outside but when you go inside you wont be disappointed. The prices arent bad either and they do alot of discounts if you buy multiple things.

Blick has most of it,weak on diy framing supplies because they offer custom framing. Good customer service. Its just a long trek from my neighborhood

Was here with my girlfriend who is the active creator...very interesting and learned a few things I could do myself with materials.

Spacious, huge selection of art supplies, helpful staff. Prices can be moderate or expensive depending on what youre looking for, but you get what you pay for so if you want quality...there you go. There are sales, however, so definitely look for them.

The experience was Awesome. I had quick and speedy service at the checkout counter and the Framing Counter.I actually went into the store to purchase a museum board for my print Final Evaluation.The waiting time to get my board cut was a little long. But the quality of the customer service in their employees and their work had a greater impact on my experience at the store.

Great art supply store with selections for the novice to the professional, with inexpensive and top of the line choices. Great (& patient) staff as well.,

Nice place love it its great so many art products to choose from sure its a little pricey but its all quality I got so much stuff today Im an art student its close by and just overall a friendly atmosphere

Over priced art supplies sold by art students who would rather not be working. Very reasonable place to be mentally at a job like that

Big interior and very easy to find what you need.

Great art store, huge selection and not outrageously expensive

They literally have everything. Cant wait until I can go back.

Good selection variety and customer service was great.

This my favorite store. Great selection of all art supplies. Awesome prices on spray paint. Like 5 bucks a can cheaper than A.C. Moore a block away and much bigger selection.

Came here with a lot of questions on how to dye polyester. The staff was patient and knowledgeable of the process...walked me through it

Amazing selection, amazing staff, and sometimes you can get some amazing deals!

Looking for Art supplies, materials? This place have all you need , how many time I was there, I all fine what I needed. The store clean and Organized had great service here. Print photo area, they so professional that will help you out will good deal and the results perfect. I did print out my works over here for my show gallery in town .

Great customer experience and knowledgeable employees. Me and my nieces enjoyed our visit.

Blick is an artists dream store. Its clean, its large and you can spend hours looking at a variety of art supplies. On my last visit, I was helped by Elizabeth, who, was extremely knowledgeable and helped me to find everything I was looking for. My shopping experience was so easy due to her expertise and pleasantness.

Its art supplies people. If your into art you eventually will need to be supplied. If your interested in what artist use but not an artist visit any way. Who knows whats inside a mind till you visit a place.

Good stuff. Prices are fine. Way less beginner or child craft friendly than A.C. Moore or Micheals. They have printing services here.

Has everything for the artist if any age. Great staff who know their stuff and are very helpful and friendly.

Great selection of mediums and materials here!

Fantastic artist supply store with everything youll need and all the friendly help you could ever ask for. The storefront will always honor the online prices. Sign up to get alerted to really special sales and discounts!

My favorite art store out there. The layout is very clear and its always fun to walk around. They always have the lowest prices and they have a student discount!

I could not believe how big this place is. It is truly a hidden gem in Philadelphia.

$500 purchased and the clerk forgot brushes in the bag and the manager wouldnt send them so i had to return to the store.Returned a few items and purchased another $200 in merchandise and the guy forgot to give my credit card back. No apology and I had to go back to get it.Order skull ($35.99) online. Free shipping on items over $35. Says free shipping to I hit the pay button and BOOM it adds the shipping anyway.These are my last 3 experiences at Blick. I am getting extremely frustrated with the store and am about to stop shopping there. I love(d) Blick and prefer to support local business but I travel 45 to shop at Blick and there is an Artist and Craftsmen Supply two blocks from my home. This just is not worth the aggravation. I fear Blick is about to become a statistic. I hate to see it - I mourn the loss of all our great art supply stores. I am begging you to get it together!Blick is a great art store. First problem, they are too often out of stock on specific items. Yesterday it took my minutes to find a size 12 Filbert brush. Thats nuts. But my biggest complaint is the lack of follow through. Last month bought $400 worth of stuff. The brushes never made it to my bag. They didnt offer to send them to me - I had to go back. I went back - and of course bought more stuff. This time I didnt get my credit card back. WTF? Unfortunately, I have an art store within 3 blocks of my house. Blick is a 45 minute train ride one way.

This is the best art supply store in Philly, hands down. They have everything you might be looking for, and possibly a few you didnt know existed, all organized in a spacious yet cozy setting. ! The staff are as passionate about your projects as you are, and always willing to help you find the best tools for your craft.

Fantastic range of quality products in store and the most personable and helpful staff. I’d lost my receipt and wanted to make an exchange, the staff informed me it wasn’t a problem thanks to their loyalty scheme which brought up the transaction right away. They’ve multiple sites across the country if you’re coming in from abroad like me it’s good to know you can hit up a place that’s likely to have everything you’re looking for... i first came across Blick in California looking for paint for a creative play workshop. They had a whole range of plant based non toxic acrylic style paints in amazing colours that were safe to body paint with. Ticked all my boxes!

Helpful staff

Im a MasterArtist I use every materials , I get my Airbrushing supplies there. BLICK ART in philly (canvass, paper, books, clay,and etc is Great!!) have no respect for Airbrushing Artists, never have what you want. Customers service says we can order it. (Why would I need you to order basic colors that yall should have in there in the first place) customers service its a new face every time I go . Store is always clean, sales is great. I would like more sales on Airbrush paints and not old Airbrush paint that is not hard and dry at the bottom of the bottle.

They have al lot of your art graphic design and craft supplies

I recently redeemed a Christmas gift card at my local Dick Blick store to be acknowledged and helped by the friendly and knowledgeable retail staff. I am happy to end my year long boycott for poor management and inattentive or rude treatment by staff. I suspect that the store had a change in management. I am happy to end my boycott of my local Dick Blick store. The retail environment improved greatly. Thank you.

The employees at Blick are well-mannered, they help you look for the supplies you need, can hold great conversations and their security is top notch. Youll never have a single problem with Blick!

This is the kind of place youd go every once in awhile, just to see whats up, then get blasted with cute commodities. 100% spend your money here.

Good painting supplies,for oil and acrylic

Great place to find anything art and everyone is so helpful and knowledgeable and if the person you are dealing with doesnt know they point you to a fellow worker who knows what you are trying to do. Park across the street at Fogo de Chao valet parking for a quick run in to pick something up.

I still dont see something Blicks doesnt have. They have so much great stuff and a bunch of it, too. Parking is at a premium where they are located but that doesnt even matter. I have never gone there and been unable to find EXACTLY what I was looking for. If I am in town, I go in there, just because. And thats with my much loved and brand spanking new AC Moore right across the street from them, which is also irresistible.

Great to have a true art supply store in the city with such a large selection. Prices are reasonable and they carry a wide variety of brands, including good student grade products for those of us on a budget. Staff can be overbearing, but thats understandable at a city location.

Need art supplies? This is the place to go. Very well stocked with nice selections. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

Amazing art store for all your needs and staff is very helpful and friendly.

Awesome associates and good stock for pretty much every art need. Their nicknack tables up front are great to browse through for gifts (super kitschy and hilarious stuff).

Awesome place...only issue was it was very tough to find parking. Amazing place otherwise. Needed to pick up one thing and needed to pay to park somewhere....but it was midday Philly so thats what happens. The store itself is great, selection is the best out of any art store in my opinion

Awesome, has everything I need to create my works.

This Is A Awesome Store, Theyre Cheaper Then A.C. Moore. YOU BETTER KNOW WHAT YOU WANT WHEN YOU GO. BECAUSE U WILL SPEND MORE THEN U PLANNED ON SPENDING, BECAUSE THEY HAVE EVERYTHING FOR ANY PROJECT

This is where I go to find my creative needs

The best frame shop in the city. They really do a great job. Had them do frames on over 20 items

Friendly and helpful staff. Love the clearance table and the novelty items in the front make great stocking stuffers. Sometimes i just love to spend my lunch hour just browsing

Good service, alot of stuff

This is a wonderful store. Clean, bright and well stocked. Aisles are wide and clearly marked. The staff is friendly and knowledgable

Very spacious and clean. A large variety of supplies. The employees are nice and helpful.

Great store! The gentleman who worked there was extremely helpful and helped me find what I needed.

I love this store! They have any art supply u need, plus lots of other neat things u wont find anywhere else. Also, the staff is always friendly & helpful

People there were so good

What happened to this place? It used to be good. Recently visited. The store is a train wreck. There is a TON of missing products on the shelves but it seems there is a lot of replacement product high up beyond customer reach; the shelves are disorganized; the store layout is confusing and makes little sense; there is junk and trash all over the floor especially in the back of the store; and the staff are young and do not have an adequate knowledge of basic art supplies and techniques. And lastly, when you check out the staff piles all of your expensive brushes and paints all on one bag only to leave it to be ruined without the customer going in themselves to repackage it. Ive been going to this store for many years and havent been there in about a year and a half. This will be my last trip to this location because it was just that terrible. I will just order my supplies online and avoid another extremely frustrating experience. Get your act together Blick Philadelphia.

Awesome

Great store, kinda pricey

It has everything you need from a beginner to a pro an the prices are so good

This store has everything you need. I especially love the classes provided, such a hub for meeting other artists. Please support the arts and keep this store alive

This place is a dream come true for artists of every stripe, and mine personally as I had stopped into a Blicks in NYC over 20 years ago, and wanted them to come to Philly, I was so impressed. Paints, pencils, paper, and everything else an artist would need, whether a student or a professional, Blicks has it! They also have an on-site framing department, and they also have workshops for painting, sculpture, etc. that you can actually try out. Its a beautiful place to visit and shop!

Helpful people there, seem like nice staff. Like this location better than the nyc one i used to go to! Cleaner and more spacious!

Very helpful staff in the store.

As an artist, this place is a toy store. Very wide selection of all types of art supplies. Staff was very helpful in finding things. The store is in a basement and does have an elevator for those who find stairs difficult. Prices where ok, low on some items, high on others. The selection was the real draw for this store. Wide range of art paper, pastel brands, and canvas sizes I couldnt find elsewhere.
