This location on West 125th is not more than a block away from the subway lines (A,C,B,D). Very convenient and definitely worth its weight in gold whenever starving for any kind of art supplies at any given moment. I popped into the store just recently to get an antique painting reframed. Luckily they had their 50% Off Sale, which incredibly still has that “sales price” shock after all is said and done. Believe me, it’s quite the dilemma figuring out what the cost runs per frame and labor. Now of course there’s only one framer doing all the work— but this was another first.So the storyline goes like this — I won this turn-of-the century painting on eBay. And held back hanging it on the wall until I could figure out [where?] it was going to go. Finally after a long week, decided to place it over the doorframe into my kitchen. Well silly me used this adhesive hook and stuck it on the wall then placing the wire into place atop a ladder got it set. It sort of drooped a bit but to me from the hallway no one could notice. And left it there. A few days later I’m alone in my front room watching a movie and suddenly the sound of something crashed somewhere —I thought “Oh no, not another ghost! Ugh!” So I turned into the hall and there’s the painting laying upside down with its glass covering shattered into a million pieces all over the rug and everywhere on the wooden floor!Unbelievable. It was painstaking cleaning up every single piece of glass! Even later finding myself still stepping on these hidden smaller shards buried in bare feet day’s later… I felt so stupid … like why??In any event, I finally mustered enough energy to come into this Blick store to get it repaired. Now the painting’s value was tripled by just the new additional framework. Paying a handsome sum on top of what was its original purchased price point. I Nevertheless love antiques. But, however lovely, framing is still a cash cow.Blick is such a fantastic store aside all else and what really makes them awesome?? It’s their staffing. Truly marvelous. And truly intellectually wonderfully friendly people. It’s so terrific it’s like being in art school classes all over again !!

9/21/21, Blick is the only art resources in the Harlem/South Bronx area. A great stop before heading to Micheal on 23rd. Glicks carry a bit of everything, they carry a extensive spray paint selection. My interest is in fabric painting, and coloring synthetic wigs. Blicks carry Ritz dye, fabric and leather paint. The associates are very helpful. I enjoy just exploring the store!

I went on a self-care art store trip today to pick up some supplies for oil painting. I visited this location before and it remains one of my favorites!The employees are incredibly helpful and friendly. Every employee Ive interacted with have mixed media knowledge, being able to answer my questions about acrylics, watercolors, gouache, oils, etc. And recommend the best choices suited for my needs.For today, I bought oil painting supplies. I asked two different employees about a) water-mixable oils supplies, and b) recommendations for a good gesso brush. Unfortunately, I didnt catch their names, but both women were extremely accommodating to my inquiries! I hope they had a nice day ✨Checking out was quick and efficient. The cashier packaged my brushes and paint very neatly and safely, greatly appreciated. Makes for a wonderful haul photo 💜I loved the wide range of items available for browsing. I know this isnt the biggest Blick, but it still had everything, for beginners to advanced and masters levels. The atmosphete of the location is also very nice and clean.One thing I thought would make my experience even better: not all items were marked with a price tag, only the items name, which made shopping became kind of a guessing game. Im kind of a shy shopper, so I dont always ask the employees for help, and I would have liked for prices to be present so I didnt have to bother them 😅Overall, I had a great experience at this Blick location. Helpful and friendly employees. A wide range of items. Shop is clean and bright.

Amazing experience of a cellar space art store. Organization of each item is well though out and not too hard to find. The customer service there was great in the morning hours, going above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need.

My artist colleague and I visited Blick in Harlem today to have three of her pastels matted by Angelo. They picked out the colors together on a previous visit, when he came up with really wonderful combinations. We got to watch each step as he expertly matted the drawings. He has a gift for concentrating on the job while connecting with the customer on a creative and personal level. The end results are stunning. Thank you Angelo!

I usually visit the Blick Store on w 20st by my job. Though today I visited the store on 125st and I will say-that the result is the same as my experience at the other store. All the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Even the cashier was very understanding and friendly when I made a mistake because I thought I had enough on me to purchase the four markers. She went and made the change with no problem. As I said in my other review for the other Blick Store, Artist if you are in Harlem stop by this store👍
