I am new to the area and have been to Blick Art Materials in Sacramento 3 times. Every time I have been there, the staff has been outstanding! They have been helpful, will show you were things are, and get things down off of a higher shelf, etc, all with a friendly attitude. Today I was there with a list of things and a very happy, helpful young lady who goes by the name of Q was just the best. The young man also working the register was just as wonderful. Thank you for hiring these great young adults. Love your store.

Their Shelves are full which is great because some other art stores are limited in what they have due to supply issues.

This is my new one-stop shop for art supplies. If they dont have it in the store, they have it on their site. They also have good deals when buying supplies in bulk, and they give discounts to students and teachers ⭐

Ive been by here a few times and every time the people who work here have been absolutely lovely. Give them all raises, theyre great.I love the selection of watercolors and watercolors pencils. The only drawback is that I havent been able to sign up with them to get a student discount because their system is down or theyre out of the forms.

Staff is friendly and helpful. Well-stocked store. Only complaint is that it is very tightly organized so it can be hard to find what you need.

Eh... I still had to wear a mask... Still?However, the guy who approached me was very polite and nice about it. So kudos to him for great customer service.I was looking for one thing in particular and didnt find it. No staff asked me if I needed any help. One staff member walked in front of me as I was looking at a shelf and didnt say excuse me.Im giving this store 4 out of 5. It was clean and looked to be in stock and in order. However the overall customer service could use some help. The lady who checked me out was also top notch.

Wow! One of the only places in Sacramento for art supplies for serious artists. Ive been looking for a mechanical pen for doing line art. Kohinoor makes a great pen. Well this is the only store in the area that has them. A little pricey 35$ for the pen. But its exactly what I wanted. Service was awesome. I will go back just to chat with the staff. Its not a huge store. But they seemed to have something for everyone. And the high end supplies to boot.

Busy little shop with lots of available staff members. Staff seemed focused on moving and stocking shelves and not focusing on the customer. I walked every aisle, the only staff member was the cashier that talked to me.Blick is great product and there is a lot to choose from. Just know what you are looking for when you go in.

During quarantine I though it would be nice if I learned how to water color. I visited some craft stores in the area only to come out empty handed and discouraged. A quick google search led me to Blick Art Materials. The staff at Blick are so kind and helpful. There was no intimidation, I didn’t feel belittled or embarrassed by my lack of water color knowledge. One of the employees named Alisa showed me to the watercolor aisle and told me all I needed to know about paper, brushes, watercolor, and techniques. Overall it was an amazing experience and I will be coming back. 10/10

People were really nice and helpful I was looking to get some spray cans for something Im working on they had a decent collection and helped me decide on what paints to go with .I look forward to shopping there again 10/10 would recommend

Review №31

Prices are extremely high as to be expected for a specialty shop. However, in that area could be more helpful place for neighbors if their prices were more attainable for typical shoppers to that area. Other than this complaint, Blick is a very neat, clean and tidy storefront who offers an awesomely pet friendly environment to pop in out of the cold for a few minutes! I enjoyed my visit there.

Review №32

Most fantastical place for artists, beginners or skilled. They know what you need to get started in peaceful and enjoyable time of painting and learning. Just great to just go in and look at everything and ask questions. I get excited every time I go in because they even can help kids get started

Ive been buying from Blick for years. I have always received excellent customer service and quality supplies. Recently one of my packages was damaged and the supplies were not useable. I took photos and contacted Blick. They were quick to respond and assist. The problem was easily solved and the customer service agent was knowledgeable and respectful. I cant recommend this company higher.

Awesome to have a Blick store local! Can get stuff right away, instead of waiting for online orders to ship/arrive. Store was clean, a little hard to find things first trip in, but its a small place so didnt take long to locate the items I was looking for. Prices seem to be similar to their online selection. Clerk up front was nice, but not very knowledgeable. Would recommend for artists looking for a professional selection of supplies.

This is a smaller Blick store than most Ive seen; but, they always seem to have what I need. I am a watercolor artist and I also like to draw. You name it - theyve got it. The staff are also very kind and helpful. During this time of COVID everyone was wearing a mask and there were lots of signs warning us to keep a safe distance from others. Any items you tested had to be brought up to the counter and then they were disinfected. Love this little place. Cant wait to go back again.

Krista and another associate (Im sorry their name escapes me) went above and beyond in helping my mother and I today. They were incredibly patient and informative. Since either of us dont know much about art we were so happy when all our questions were answered. We got everything we needed and more, all within our budget. We really appreciate how wonderful Krista and the young man were with us!

Shopping at Blick Art Materials is a pleasant experience-the staff is well-informed about arcane aspects of oil-based paints and painting and they can usually take a bit of time to describe how an additive or admixture will work for a given purpose. The store carries an astonishing variety of materials and tools, it is an excellent place to browse for ideas. Well-done, folks!

Terrible customer service over phone. I understand the company was most likely slammed with calls at the time; however, the way the went about placing me on hold multiple times for over 8 mins was absurd. Personally they lost my business because of there customer service. If you’re looking for speedy and quick look somewhere else.
