Blick Art Materials

"10000/10 recommend! I needed a painting kit ASAP, and Blick delivered it right to my apartment door. Service was prompt and friendly -- will definitely be shopping here again for my crafting needs!"

"I went to Blick Art in Harlem for the first time today with an oversized piece of art that I needed stretched onto canvas. What a surprisingly pleasant experience. Ricki was patient and professional, answering all of my questions and making several suggestions to further enhance my piece's final appearance. Highly recommend!"

"Staff was very helpful and indulgent of my extra demands. Little smaller than other Blick's I've been to in city, but very good inventory none the less. I strongly encourage giving this Harlem business your dollar."

"One of the best art supply stores I've been in. They have such a wide variety of supplies from canvases, paint, pencils to embroidery to wood carving and so much more. An artist's paradise!"

"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 !!"
