Staff is great. All artists and can give you great advice on what youre trying to accomplished. Plus the have almost everything and I always find things I didnt know I wanted.
Great art supplies store. Everything is organized well and I was able to find the specific vine charcoal and pastel sticks I needed!
They have wide selection of art supplies with some of the biggest names in the business represented on their shelves. They have a great selection of paper for all types of art. From watercolors to pen & ink to canvas for oils and acrylics. They have top end supplies from Britain, Germany and France. If youre an artist looking for supplies, there is no other place to go.
Excellent selection for artists or hobbyists. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.
This place has all the art supplies you could ever need! Nicely organized and clean.
First time here. Great inventory, everything I could want or need. Not asked a single time if I needed help. Walked in and out without even being noticed. (But some, I know, like that shopping experience)
Very easy to navigate their website. Ordered a blue Denim mat for a picture. I received it a few days after shipping and was pleasantly surprised at how well it was packed. Previously ordered water color paints and would definitely recommend them to others.
It has been minimally 22 years since I visited the store last. As I remembered they have a good selection of high-quality (artist grade/professional) media on site. The staff were not as knowledgeable as I would have liked about certain products. They did have everything I couldnt get at Hobby Lobby, Michaels, or Jo-Ann in-stock to see, touch, and compare which was why I drove for an hour to get there.
High quality art supplies and helpful staff
Nice art store with lots of supplies. I love art stores and can meander around in them contemplating future creations for more time than I should. This store had very friendly employees and much to choose from. The aisles were a little crowded and I couldnt find one thing I wanted, but it was still a good experience.
A wonderful store for a large variety of artistic interests
While both products and selections are good, my grievance is with their so-called sales. They have the regular list prices and then they have everyday low price. A postcard sent to me boasted 70% of list prices and on the backside it said 20% off entire off non-sale...... Well, everything marked as Everyday low price is, according to Blick, on sale - EVEN THOUGH it is their everyday price. How can a store market something to be on sale when they sell it for that every day? It is deceiving at best, fraudulent at worst. I just spent over $50 there without getting a dime off. Blick, you call that a sale?? I will never buy from them again.Rachel, thank you for your reply. I would agree with you insofar that had I read the fine print, I would not have an issue. What bothers though is the fact that on the card you sent me is a picture of the very Utrecht paint that I use with a 70% off above. Would you agree that what you see in that picture should be on sale? Isnt that would you would like the recipient to think?
Staff is super helpful and the supplies have always been on point. Love the reward program and their online price matching (it matches with their own online prices, I believe).
Great selection of art supplies and friendly staff
Smaller and not as much selection as other locations, but still awesome and well stocked.Staff was the best!
Very friendly and helpful staff!
A large selection of art supplies within a not so large area. They have everything you need as an artist and the staff will show you exactly where things are if you ask
They have everything I was looking for.😁 Friendly and helpful staffs.
A nice selection of basic supplies and well-trained staff. They didnt have the specialty products I wanted but were very helpful in showing me options so I could make do if I wanted.
Great variety of art supplies.
Always have what I need.
Staff have always been polite & helpful. Ive been a customer for about ten years.
Very clean, friendly workers,and they have great products.
Always find what I’m looking for!
The workers here are extremely helpful! Im a novice when it comes to art and art supplies and the people who work here answered any and all of my questions!
Oodles of stuff! 15 minute time limit, prepare for your purchases.
Best place for art painters and creative minds in art.
Really enjoyed exploring the store and choosing some gems to take home to play with! The staff are friendly and helpful.
Smaller but its one of the few if not only in Minnesota. Good selection of products for all sorts of artists.
I think I could have pitched a tent in the corner and just lived off eating erasers as long as I could marvel at the drawings supplies. A fortress. A wonderland of joy. Immaculate.
There are many quality options. The staff was friendly and helpful. There is a little bit of everything for the art person.
Friendly helpful staff for those of us who arent intimately familiar with art supplies.
You cannot go in blicks and come out empty handed. You cannot go in blicks and not find a deal...esp during back to school and Christmas sales. Love blicks. More expensive then Micheals...but more refined. Quality not quantity.
Very amazing store with a lot of choices and supplies to choose from with amazingly reasonable prices. Ill be going back in the future.
Id spend my entire paycheck here if I could
Could have hung out all day 🙄 so much everything!
Love this place. Makes me wish I was more artistic. The staff is always so helpful. Its a pleasure to shop here.
Excellent personal service. They carry what I need now and in the future.
They have what I wanted. Just a little pricey.
The staff was super helpful, and I was offered a student discount. 5/5
I loved it there..staff was really nice and helpful..
I am medically exempt from masks due to severe anxiety and sensory problems. When I told the long bearded older man who stormed out of the the back at me that I was, he said Youre not exempt excuse me, how would he know? He was VERY rude, even though I remained polite. I would NOT recommend this location, based off how they treat people who have disabilities and differences.
There are wonderful people working here, I enjoyed my visit very much.
You know art mecca
Great array of art supplies in one convenient location.
This is my favorite art supply store in the twin cities for one reason the uncritical and poised staff especially cashier 09901. I am always making complicated returns that even confuse me. Returns of multiple items from different receipts if I have one at all. Then bring up item after item asking question after question. Thiseqounimous staff has never made me feel uncomfortable for spending hours in the store looking at and trying every pen marker or what ever else out. Then Ill bring a pile of stuff up to check out with out a clue what I want to cheap and if my returns will even cover the cost 09901 is unflappable hes always helpful its a serene culture among this staff. And the make my shopping experience wonderful Everytime. Thanks guys
Nice art supplies store. Offers a wide variety of products including items that are hard to find at bigger chains. Despite being somewhat of a specialty store, they also offer store-brand products at low, competitive prices. Blick also has a nice (free!) rewards program that gets me 10% off every visit. Finally, I like the knick-knacks they have at the front of the store all of which can be useful and not just throw-away!
They seem better lately I usually know what I need but always seems to be an issue when you need help. They either treat you like you dont know what youre talking about or hide behind the counters in a corner talking and when you ask for help they seem a little annoyed you disturbed them. I asked if they had a certain watercolor they said if we did it was in such area and pointed at a general direction. I then said I saw it online and wasnt sure if it was available in store. She then begrudgingly looked it up and said they could ship it to the store or my house which woulda been fine except I decided by then to get it at wet paint where they did carry that type of watercolor. Sorry but not sorry the last few times Ive been in there just seems like your staff doesnt care anymore and I used to think blick was awesome not all the staff most are good idk who this girl was she seemed new and her coworker as well and ive been shopping there since I worked at national camera over 10 yrs ago so idk what changed but find nicer people its art supplies its suppose to be fun!!!!
They have all that I need there. And for covid19 precaution. They turn each isle into a one direction traffic. To prevent you from face to face contact with other customers.
Blick is amazing! I go all the time because they have every art supply I love plus hundreds more!
Pretty well lay out of Blocks. Atmosphere was pretty chilled, great, also. Great art materials. Thank you, my child loved her Christmas gifts.
I always love shopping at Blicks... Great inventory for all art mediums... They often have great sales.I was shopping for a new large easel on this shopping trip, they had a great double mast large easel on sale, but they did not have it in stock. Nor did they know when it would restocked. I was told that I could order it and have it shipped to me, but shipping costs made that an unfavorable option.... Dissappointed, but not discouraged. Ill be traveling back to Roseville MN again soon. Hopefully the easel will still be on sale (and in stock)!
Its an art supply store. They have art supplies.Great selection of fine quality materials. Super helpful and friendly staff.Whether youre a grad student or middle school student. Theyll have what you need.
Very helpful staff, and variety of art supplies.
Had an armful of goods with no line or customers waiting walked up put our things down on counter. The clerk instructed to us to pick everything up and walk over to a sign that indicated customer line. It was on the opposite side of the large area for checkout. No one was there. We picked up our things walked over and as soon as we got there he told us we could come back. Dog and pony show behavior. It was a ridiculous exercise in bad customer service. I spent more than $200 for the privilege of being treated poorly. I spoke with the manager and was told in no uncertain terms TOO BAD for us. My final thought is thank goodness for mail order. I have never returned.
People were very helpful and had everything we needed! And i had taken an art class there over a year ago and they never called us when our paintings were dry. When i went there and asked they they still had them they went to look and they did!! I was so excited to get them back!
Love love love this place... lol.
Great art supplies and the staff are always helpful!
Great art store! My wife and I have been here a few times and they were very helpful in finding pens and other items we were looking for! Ask about their rewards if you plan to shop here often.
Always fun to go here. They have a staff that is clearly passionate about art and what they sell, and the layout is simultaneously practical and aesthetically on-brand; you feel like youre in an artists loft, not a suburban strip mall. An impressive selection and competitive pricing makes this one of my favorite stops.
The staff here is always friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. My teenager and I have never left unhappy. Fun demos in store too!
Small, but, I love this place. It makes me happy to go in it. And the employees are good at answering my questions!
Super helpful, knowledgable, and friendly staff! I came in for a work order and a staff member helped me fulfill my list quickly. A great selection of fun items for every artist from master to beginner. This was my first time in a Blick Art Materials and I will definitely be a return customer. Artists dream store.
Great selection. Some prices are high and not always a choice between brands but so many mediums are represented. Good for students and great website if its not in the store.
Great place to buy art supplies specially for beginners or students! Hugh selection of all kinds of art supplies portfolios, Matt board even more online.
Would of been nice to know items were not included with my airbrush kit. Frustrating to drive back down 45 minutes to get an item that honestly should of been recommended.
Great service! Great selection! And if youre a student you get a 10% discount, just bring your student ID card. They also price match their online prices!
Theyve got a great selection and the staff is friendly.
Friendly helpful staff, large variety, slightly over priced.
Fantastic selection and very helpful staff. They are taking COVID seriously and require masks, social distancing, and one-way aisle traffic.
I love this place! Its my go to art supply store.The staff has always been very helpful and friendly. They have demos/events frequently, some free, some paid which is cool so you can try out products. Wide selection of supplies and even little gift type things which are great for holidays/birthdays. Their Instagram is always up to date with sales and events which I find useful.
Great store and friendly staff!
Blick is my go-to art store as an artist. They have almost everything Ive gone out to find and some. Their prices are amazing and that online price match save me at least a few dollars everytime I go.
They were super helpful over the phone and when we got there the store had a bunch more options then I expected. The staff was informative and really nice!
Love coming to this place. A friend gave me a $150 gift card for a commission, so I finally had an offline experience with shopping at Blicks. Loved the store and staff.
A great place if you have a creative in your life. I go here regularly for supplies and gifts for them. The staff is very helpful and I typically find things I never knew existed. But I always leave feeling more creative than when I went in.
I ordered a marker storage case online, it was clearly labeled as “spectrum noir marker storage-clear” so I thought, “oh spectrum noir is quality, so I’ll bye the spectrum noir storage.”.They sent crafters companion storage, not spectrum noir when they said in their website “spectrum noir”. Not happy, storage is dirty and has spots.
Made it so easy. And they had it in stock.
Awesome store with polite, friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff. Its so nice to go into a store with an art supply/art related question and find employees who can actually answer and who know what theyre talking about.The store is clean, well lit, and organized. Ill definitely be coming back.
I like this store. Been using them for many years. Mostly for mats and assorted supplies for mounting photographs. Recently we have been getting paints and pigments for her resin crafts. The customer service is great. We will continue to use them.
Small store, decent inventory size for art materials. Not a craft store in any form meaning lower prices on certain items and higher on others. The staff is inviting and very helpful. Come here for your art supplies needs, not hobby lobby or Michaels can beat them in price on quite a few items.
Every time I go I get asked what I want in a polite and happy Manner and they almost always have what Im looking for. They are one of the only source I go to that shows respect and care for their customers and do everything they can to make sure that you can find what youre looking for either in store or online
Prior to hearing about this store I was wondering where there was a quality art supply. Much to my surprise this gem of a store was told to me by the 8 yr old son of close friends. Abrams a smart young man! Thanks buddy!
Great full spectrum art supply store. On line offerings incredible
Good range of brushes, however the Windsor and Newton series 7 were more than double what I found them for on Amazon.
It is expensive but its a great one stop shop for art supplies and hard to find stuff!
This a great art supply store. Employees are helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Love their supply of watercolor paint brands.
Everything you ever wanted at a fair price. Highly recommend their store brand acrylics.
Although I showed up minutes before they closed, I was given customer service that was incredible!!! He gave me good choices on numerous items I was interested in. Took me all over the store to find these items. Helped me carry my items to checkout. My only regret was that I did not get this young mans name! We shared an interest in a singer and this wonderful young man even sang a few lines from one of this artists songs. A most memorable experience!!! Even though that store is about 30 minutes from my home, I WILL be shopping there again. The majority of businesses could learn alot from them about customer service!!!
Good Spray paint
Great place for art supplies.
I gave Blick an average score because there is good and bad about this place.The good: They have an insane selection of art supplies. And the prices are reasonable.The bad: When I go there it is for airbrush paints and supplies. I have yet to find anyone at this location that knows anything about airbrushes. So if I ever need help, or have a question, I am screwed.
If you like quality art supplies w knowledgeable staff this is your place. Tip! sign up for Block Art card free but the discounts are well worth it. $100 can depending on newsletter items & special can save 25-30 % so that is a big savings!
Still the go-to store for supplies and inspiration. Ive never walked out of the store with fewer ideas than when I went in.
