Horrible customer experience with Christopher!He was absolutely sassy and rude from Hello ! I came to pick up an order that was already paid for and placed. As soon As I got in the store Christopher looked at me and asked how could he help? (No problem there) I told him I was there for a pick up under my name . I told him what my name was. He then asked me if I could name what was in the bag? I said why do I have to name what’s in the bag if you have my name and I have ID? He said With an attitude I’m just trying to help you out. I said well you can help me out by seeing if it’s under my name, which it was. He said OK, you can lose the attitude. I looked at Chris because for one I was shocked that he is speaking to a customer this way. I said are you talking to me a customer like this, and to be clear you were the one with the attitude. He found the bag with my name on it and on the side of the bag it said already paid. Chris said he was looking to see if it had been paid for which it had been marked by their staff that it had and it was clear because it said it on the side of the bag that it was paid. I said Chris it’s already been paid for and it says it on the bag. He the. pushed the bag towards me and told me to just go.
The shop in midtown has a larger collection but they do have the major necessities when you need it.
Got to do a school project? They got you cover from pencil, sketch books , clay , you named ,great place to find what you need and the staff is always on sight in case you need help.
The people who work there at a Blick Arts Materials store are very nice and helpful. Im an artsy type of person and I feel that this is a great place for aspiring artists to shop/buy whatever they need for their art projects. I love Blick Arts Materials so much.
Its the best! Has everything!! Todo!! They usually have good sales, too.
I visited the Blick on Lafayette and they were amazing as always. Helpful staff and amazing supplies.
Always fun to see what they have and learn about what to use to become a better artist, especially if youre just starting out!
A great place to find everything art related. Prices seem decent as well
Everything was perfectly fine, including customer service. However, the security guard was staring at us the entire time - we were the only customers at that time - made us feel uncomfortable.
Havent been inside this place in a little while.I went in when it just opened so it wasnt too crowded and i didnt feel like i was unsafe shopping in there.Staff was all friendly.I bought pastel pencils that were priced a little less than ones i see online which is so rare when you purchase something in-store nowadays!I was very excited to see they sell DMC embroidery floss - i had no idea!Will be coming back soon.
Classic art supply store. I have a few items I use on a daily basis that I can only get here, so I visit about every 6 weeks and I always end up leaving with a lot more than I planned on. The one department that they’re lacking in is calligraphy supplies.. so I usually have to buy these items online, which isn’t the most ideal since it’s best to see ink colors first hand. Same goes for nibs.Overall, I love this shop! Always so much fun to go.
I love Blick. They are a very awesome store that has a ton of cool art supplies. Best of all, most of their employees are artists themselves. So theyre the go-to people to ask certain art questions, that other retail art stores probably cant answer very well. Although the store is relatively small, theres so many materials, and other drawing/painting/sculpting tools. You can pretty much find any/everything you need related to art. I love love love this store, and I always come back to the store for more. I am satisfied every single time I go into Blick!!!
This location is NOT temporarily closed. They are open from 11a-6p every day.
I like this place. Good size, helpful service, and the lines arent too bad. Convenient location so you can get in an out fast.The place isnt very kid friendly, as all sorts of things are reachable by little hands, but thats not a major problem.The size is very good given the location. Also told I prefer the Bond Street store more, as its more focused on office stuff and not serious art stuff, but I could see a lot of people (especially old Pearl Art fans) coming here.
Nice store but they are moving to a new location
You will probably find all the art work materials here and some fun little gifts. The staff members were cheerful and helping
I was kindly greeted by the staff as soon as I walked in. I was getting some micron pens for my Brother, who likes to do art. The gentleman who worked the floor gladly walked me to the item. I was in and out in no time. Its a great place for anyone who needs art supplies.
If youre familiar with other Blick locations, this store is typical of those. A huge collection of art supplies with enough variety and a wide price range are available.Needing to make a rather large purchase for one single item, the staff were unsure if the item was even in stock. I was asked to wait for them to locate the item in the back of the store, and, after a considerable amount of time passed until they did find the item, I then experienced problems checking out with a credit card. Having done some shopping previously in the day and then also immediately upon leaving Blick with a similar fairly high total, Im unsure of why their card reader would not accept my card.As such, I was unable to leave with a successful purchase and forced to do business elsewhere.
Lovely and helpful staff and the store has everything your artistic heart can desire! If by some chance they dont have it in store you can ask them to order it and ship to the store. They match their price with their online price and give discounts to students/teachers which is a big plus too!
Cute store with a great range of art supplies. The staff there is knowledgable and were able to help me out with my first foray into art supplies and materials. The pricing was decent and if you sign up for the list you can collect points for $$ off your next purchase.
I love art stores. Good staff. It is more directed towards students, fine artists. If you are a profesional decorator or running a medium sized art business, this won’t substitute Art Central. They open at 9am and professionals would appreciate it opened earlier before job sites open.
Its overwhelming in a good way. There is a lot of materials to choose from, but the staff is very helpful in helping you find what you need. Love the selection of pens and brushes.
Excellent!!!! Amazing Selection!!! The staff is very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly!!!!Highly Recommend!!!😊😊😊😊
Fantastic art supply store with a large variety and range of products. Might be a bit more expensive than other art supply stores but, quality products are generally a bit pricier.Customer service is on point with one of the employees generally asking if we need assistance within minutes of entering.
The staff here is so sweet and attentive. We needed something last minute and they had it! Prices are reasonable for NYC
This is my neighborhood store, so I come here if and only if I haven’t got time to get things elsewhere. Every time I visit I feel followed around and harassed with employees constantly asking me if I “need help” or just pacing aimlessly behind me. After the fifth time I have to stop responding because i’m just trying to think through the project that I am working on and get back to work. As a minority I feel targeted and as a store you should adjust your staff-attentiveness/loss-prevention policies/tactics so that customers don’t feel harassed.
Great staff and clean store. This location is great and not as crammed and crowded as the union square spot(although that location is also great)Staff seems more attentive and friendly at this location too and theres more selection bc of the larger real estate. Overall a great place to get your arts and crafts supplies! I can spend hours and hundreds of dollars here!
Great place for all your painting and art supplies even airbrush equipment you can find there the staff is amazing the greet you with love and show the same love during your visit at there store check them out
I was looking for this store so loooong. This is paradise )
This Art Supply Store Is perhaps the Next best thing to Complete Sculptor, A few variations but theyre not far from each other as. Far as Key Materials, I Appreciate the Large selection of Paints, brushes, Adhesives as well as other Great products. And its on the Canal strip, so its not hard to locate. And the prices arent bad either. I usually stop here after My regular stops at Canal Rubber.
In love with store .in love with customer service hear WOW!!! They sure go beyond to help u. Love them. My place 2 shop.
Its not as great as Lees and nowhere near the caliber of the Venerable Pearl Paint but it is a descent art supplies shop though much smaller than the other Blicks. Its sort of like a Office Depot to Staples comarison. Overall has the essentials of art supplies.
The best shopping experience i had ever. I was greeted and helped throughout me shopping. Every single employee was pleasant and helpful. I went to purchase to cans of spray paint and some e600 glue
Good store with reasonable and cheap prices. Very organized. Lighting is a little dim, not a very bright place. Staff are super friendly, will help you anything if you just ask. Convenient place. Usually my go to spot for purchasing art materials. Large selection of practically everything and if youre on a budget, they have their own brand of products ranging from blick graphite pencils to their own dual top markers similar to copics. The copics are enclosed in their own case near the line register. The case is transparent but closed. If you buy 6 or more copic markers, they discount the price from 7.99 to around 5.39 per marker.
They need to work harder to be a real complete store. The have limited variety, staff is not as knowledgeable than I would like, specially when it comes to more specialized art like airbrushing and prices are way too expensive. Makes one mourn the death of old-school art shops.
I was trying to find a very specific color for my new painting, I searched everywhere online and was not able to find the paint. When I came here they were able to match exactly what I needed and help me with other materials.
I visited this place for buying watercolor supplies. They have quite a range of brushes which supports all type of pocket groups. The available brands from my recollection are Princeton, W&N, Ultrecht and few in-house model brands. Besides this they a have wide variety of art supplies supporting other mediums.
Super helpful here! Some things were lacking prices and they were really kind when I asked. Things are easy to find.
Closed at 5 at Saturday, when the time is supposed to be 6. Disappointed as I wasted a lot of time getting there.
This is a good Blick Art location. Since Pearl Paint closed years ago, it’s also essentially the only real art supply store in Soho. They have a solid selection of most everything you need regardless of your medium, and a helpful staff.
The service n prices were great
I visit Blick Art Materials quite often.... The last time I was there, I purchased this cute little easel....The Artwork was painted with Blick products, art materials also purchased at Blick Art Materials.Unexpensive, Fun, Easy, Practical.College student discounts!!!FRIENDLY CUSTOMER SERVICE. Attentive and very knowledgeable.Strongly recommend it!!!Copy of the Artwork can be viewed at @simplyxart_ on Instagram.
I made an online purchase of paints and canvas worth $180 and at all time of the purchase it said it was free shipping. When I looked at my bank account, I got scared! Blick had debited $300, almost double the value of my purchase. I complained and I was told that $100 was for a handling fee that I was never informed of. Beware of the bad faith tactics they use when shopping online.
This place stays open a little later than the other ones. The inventory isnt the greatest but its definitely satisfactory enough for many basic materials as should any. The stuff is attentive when around and theyre nice people worth small talking with. I like my doods bag philosophy.
Really helpful employees! I cant say anything about affordability since I was just buying supplies as a present for my friend, but it was relatively well organized and there wasnt much of a wait time when checking out.
It would have been better if they didnt follow me around the store as if Im going to steal something, I dont think Im going back to this store
Massive, good selection, expensive-ish, but lots of super helpful art-student-type employees happy to chat about gesso or whatever and recommend their favorite like bone folder or something. Remember to get the student / faculty discount; its super worth it.
They have every artistic outlet you could ever want to try. Products are constantly on sale. All the employees know what theyre talking about. Highly recommended.
It aint the old 4 story pearl paint that used to be an artist haven on canal for years, but this blick location is fairly large, has friendly, geeky, fun staff and has prices comparable to other art stores throughout the sity, so youre not getting ripped off by any means. My gf and i are def coming back here to buy stuff and sketch more memes on the strips of test paper by the pencils and pens.
Staff are nice. One of the smaller blick stores. Im not able to get everything I need at times - but its the closest one to my office. Lots of paper in stock. And generic art supplies as well. Small miscellaneous items are harder to find.
I would probably say this place is one of the best art supply store in NYC area. And they also have nice and friendly staff members. I really like visiting here even I dont have anything particular to buy since I like to see what they displayed here( art supplies)
If you dont want to use the Internet, this is the place. If they dont have it they can get it. And its always better to see art supplies in person than just on a screen. The staff are artists (usually) and if you have any questions, boom, answers! I go there as much as I can. I think I have a problem, and I dont care. I might go there when I finish this review.
Horrible experience. Bad customer service. Terrible communication. I came all the way from school on the upper east side trying to find a gouache I needed for my art class. I called the store ahead of time to ask if they had the right gouache before I made the trip to go out there seeing as how I live very far from the city. I called and the associate said there was 3 in stock. Are you sure?” I asked. He said yes. I make my way over in train, 45 minutes later to find that there was none left in stock. Waited about 10-15 while the associate called Bond street to see if they had any. He confirmed that they did. I walked fifteen minutes over to Bond street just to find there was none and the associate had given the wrong sku number to the other location. By this time I was tired and frustrated. I could’ve avoided all of this and went home instead of wasting my time and not even getting what I needed in the first place. Terrible service, never again.
One of my favorite art supply stores. Friendly staff & were quick to help me. Large selection. Great prices.
Great store for all art supplies. Knowledgeable staff and decent prices. Nice discount for students and educators. Wish there was a branch on the UWS.
Ive usually found what Im looking for here. The staff is pleasant and helpful. While their website makes online purchasing easy and efficient, Im glad that they have brick and mortar stores where I can pop in for something Ive run out of.
Youll find most everything you need for your art project here, including the most impressive part for me -- a huge selection of pens and markers in all shapes and sizes. Otherwise, expect canvases, sketchbooks, tapes of all sorts and more supplies.
The store is pretty big and they have a huge selection of art supplies. They have sales every once in awhile. Although some supplies are a tad on the expensive side.
What an amazing place. Staff is helpful and knowledgeable. The prices beat Amazon.
I almost payed more than $8 for a 6x6 canvas that its less than $2 at their online store. They allowed me to return it. Nice customer service.
I get all my art supplies from here. Good helpers and mostly everything you might need for art! Great Big Sword on instagram, you can see my art!
I have to say, I love this store!! They have tons of selections for many art supplies. The prices are not too shabby for great quality.
My Son is now an official artistAnything he needs we always find at Blick. They are also generous with discounts. You wont be disappointed.
Moving location so nothing there go to other locations
A large variety of markers, pencils, conte and acrylics. Small selection of clay materials. Small selection of oil paints. Staff not entirely engaged in servicing. Overall not bad.
They have all your supply needs , and the staff is helpful.The only thing that Is kinda annoying is the store is small so if you dont like small spaces you might find this store uncomfortable.
I can only draw stick figures, but coming here makes me wish I had better artistic skills. Decent inventory for a smaller store.
Everyone is always super nice in this location. They have really cute section when you walk in on the left with exquisite items that are great for gifting.
Great selection of art supplies and frendly staff. I recommend becoming a rewards members since they have some of the best deals for that.
They have such a large selection of art supplies, its insane!!! Friendly service, and great selection! If your an artist, you need to go here.
I come here all the time for my art supplies and its always a tranquil and helpful environment. The staff is great and very helpful.
Good selection of supplies for just about any medium (my daughters both get all their supplies here.) Interesting events as well.
Good array of supplies. The location is surrounded by large art studios so the employees are usually very knowledgeable and willing to help.
Ok, shopping for art supplies is always fun, isnt it? :) Love all blick art materials locations. Stuff is very helpful and knowledgeable too.
Very helpful staff, not as big as other Blick stores but they are equipped with most art materials for all mediums.
My favorite shop!
Very good customer service and great selection of art material for all types of creations.
Great place for art needs! They almost always have what I need at very fair prices.
Friendly staff. Helpful. They stock most of the supplies you would need to make art. Convenient location.
Not pearl paint, but next best thing. Very friendly staff, although they werent very helpful in their knowledge of art supplies
🔥
Even if its not, it feels smaller than other Blicks. I feel like they dont have everything or the layout is very difficult to navigate. Staff is friendly.
Great selection of supplies, some things are overpriced but if you can catch a sale then it isnt too bad.
This was my first visit and I loved it! Because I found a new hobby that I can learn and that is sketching.I bought a sketch book and pencil set.
Great staff. Has everything, if not in store then online.
This place had everything I needed, which wasn’t much, and more. Saw things I never new existed for art. Prices were great.
Lots of art supplies and they have more variety of spray paints for people who like to spray on canvases.
Im terrified. they offer free shipping, you finish the purchase and then you are charged for handling. dishonest.
A new york city art supply institution. They have practically everything a creative mind could want.
Everithing is great but i looked for russian oil paints,Master Class brend & there they have no.The master class oil is one of the best.
Might be pricy, but thats just how art supplies are. They try to give you the best price, so theyre cool. But they help out with everything
Lots of fun to wander here. Friendly and helpful staff. Theyve got everything you need and tons of stuff you didnt know you needed.
Love the shop. I shop there more frequently because of the variety of art supplies they sell.
Friendly Staff and awesome selection of art supplies.
Everything an artist need. I love that they sell colored pencils in open stock. Very helpful and friendly personnel
Best art store Ive ever gone to. There are great deals and a lot of options.
Awesome selection and fantastic, fun staff. I love Blick in general, and this store is the only exception.
Great supplies in a pinch but you will definitely pay more than some other shops
Amazing place, so many products. I just couldnt find some of the stuff I needed, but they have a great variety.
I love this store- its so big, has so many awesome things. Terrific place for supplies
Personell wery helpfull in making decision, even if you are not keen on choosing paints, but if you know your aim they will help you to choose.
Excellent staff, great prices and sales. this is a small store but still has everything you need.
Oh boy! Its way too expensive. Although i could get discount for student but even after that it was too much. Ya, if u dont find it online or any special instrument then its worth visiting.
Wonderful place for artists, you can find everything from colours to canvasses. Huge assortment
Very friendly staff that consistently aim to please, and are more than happy to help with material suggestions among their wide variety of merchendise
Nice store. Great selections. Friendly stAff. Had exactly what I needed. Will come back.
Love that they match online pricing in the store if you are a preferred member! And customer service is always the best!
Was stared at and followed around the entire store with my two girls. I wonder why. I let the clerk know how uncomfortable I felt.
Great selection. Perfect for all your art supplies
Lots of supplies for decent prices. Can probably find cheaper elsewhere but the convenience of it being a chain justifies visits.
Place has lots of art supplies. The lighting in the store, however could be better.
A nice big store with lots of great quality art material. Wish these things were cheaper though!
Great store to get art supplies very affordable and they give Student discounts!!
Always has what you need when it comes to art supplies If they dont have it in stock theyll order it
Has a lot of stuff!Tho I had a bit of trouble, cause I felt as the workers always looked at me and my boyfriend while were there.
They carry the best spray paint brand, Montana! Happy they are in Brooklyn
Friendly staff and the store has a lovely layout. It was also well stocked.
With the death of NY central and Pearl paint this is the best of the chain art supply shops have replaced the local unique shops.
Great place for art supply, great staff also who helped me finding what I need.
Great store, pretty much has everything an aspiring artist needs!
Great for getting art supplies but nothing is really cheap here.
Smaller than the one on Bond Street, but they had what I was looking for. Strangely, they are closed on the weekend.
Crowded, unfriendly staff. Leaky marker got all over my hand, floor and counter workers could have cared less. Skip this and go to the bigger Blicks.
My man Roy took me through the store and helped me pick out everything I needed, never pressured me to get anything I didnt want. Prices were fair.
Big Box Store of Art Stores.Lots of inventory and cheaper store brand products!

2022-05-31Great store and very knowledgeable staff. not sure if they have ac or not but its insanely hot in this place during the summer, so much so that the staff is walking around with fans to cool themselves, so be prepared if you go on a hot day. 5 stars nonetheless

Review №4
2022-02-15Awesome store, but pretty pricey… but, if you like painting, this is your go to! Keep in mind that if you have a particular paint you use, they may not carry it at all Blick locations… why is beyond me… but my favorite Blick is on Lafayette just above Canal. Get inspired! 😇

2022-05-17Great store fine selection but theyre moving locations next month. So look for them a couple of blocks over on Broadway starting Mid June 2022

2019-01-20This is artists heaven. U can spend hours in this place. It has everything you possibly need to create your art. The employees are very helpful and knowledgeable about the products being sold in the store.
Review №7
2022-06-06They are moving in August 2022, so they are not restocking even basic supplies. I was very disappointed they were out of 8.5x11 black paper last week and they told me they wont restock it. Right on the day I needed it most.

2021-01-19I used to go to Pearl when it was around. 5 floors of art supplies was an adventure and pleasure each time. When Pearl closed I started coming to Blick. Its an OK place. I also order supplies on Amazon now too. I painted a portrait of the facade of Pearl for my series of Disappearing New York, which you can see on my website, KovalFineArt dot com.
