Blick Art Materials

I love Blick. I usually shop at their location on W 23^rd (between 7^th and 8^th) but I was in the area and needed to buy a couple of things.
The store was well organized, as all Blick stores are. What I needed was easy to find.
However, the cashier tried to charge me for a marker I was not purchasing. He had asked if I had my Blick card, but I didn’t so he tried searching my name and number. He claimed he couldn’t find me but not to worry about it. I thought he had scanned a courtesy card but when I looked down at the card reader to pay with my credit card, I saw a charge for a random $ 8 marker and asked him about it. He claimed not to know how that got there and removed it before I paid.
Lesson learned: check the list of charges on the card reader before you pay to ensure you’re not paying for some kid’s wish list items.

I went here today hoping I could get the help I needed to purchase some art supplies as a gift to my son.
The store itself is filled with amazing paints, brushes, etc. that I wish I knew how to use which is why I asked for help and made it very clear that I needed assistance.
I asked the salesperson there to help me find they correct materials. She pointed in the direction of 5 aisles and said the name of the product and «it should be there» I asked her if she could kindly show me herself and she acted as though she was doing me a favor. It was a very awkward experience as she tried to ignore me and climb up a ladder to do something else.
She then went to the front of the store and thought it was a good idea to talk about me behind my back with her colleague — I guess I was making them work too hard today.
If you need art supplies and you know exactly what you need this place definitely has that. If you require assistance from friendly, knowledgeable staff — I would go elsewhere.

I went in this morning hoping to find a specific item. When I walked in, there were no sales associates anywhere on the floor. No one behind the counter, no one in the aisles, absolutely zero employee presence. When I finally managed to find someone, Ryan, he was in the midst of a phone conversation which he continued while processing the transaction of the person in front of me in line. He made no apology for the phone interuption, and his coworkers never materialized. Given how high the prices are here, not really sure why paying that premium is worth it. Shop online for your art supplies instead!

There is a lot color selections of copic markers and sketch books and also students can get 10% off yaeeey!

It is nice that there is an art store here after the tragic lost of Pearl Paint. They have a huge variety of supplies. I just wish they were better organized. I usually go to art stores with what I need to purchase already in mind, but I like having all my options in front of me. I feel that materials of the same category should be placed in the same section, that way, we know what choices we have to choose between. Bring your student ID, they give student discounts! The cashier who rang me up seemed very sleepy and lazy, but was nice. It was a Friday night, so he was probably waiting to get off work – it’s okay, I feel you.

Great site to get great party decorations. Made my sons birthday a success. I love their personalized products. Every year for my sons birthday I buy a personalized magnet with his name on it and it has the theme of his party so we can remember it forever! They have great prices and when it’s free shipping it’s always a good day!

Had the best time here. Store is super clean and offers a variety of supplies, ranging from spray cans to an assortment of canvases. Came in looking like a know-​it-​all with ear buds on, yet one girl still approached me to make sure I’m getting the things I need, so I thought,
«Oh, what the heck; beats scavenging for another hour.» We navigated several aisles and shared a few laughs here and there. As college students, we bonded quite well, and I’m sure other staff members are the same, bubbly and sweet, though Dani definitely knows her stuff (kinda have to be on top of things for an art major), but she also has a certain charm to her that makes her a wonderful worker (and person in general). I wouldn’t mind dropping by again just to say «Hello.» Oh, and not only are the employees amazing, but also the customers; one girl even offered to pay for one of my items because I didn’t have enough cash on me, and I cannot thank her enough! Like I said, great place to get your artsy stuff, superb experience overall. Though the $ 8 tax on top of my long receipt did make me shed some tears lol.

Everything you need you can find here

I had bought a frame at Blick that was damaged. They told me I could not get new frame since once it left the store it is not there problem, even if it is a damaged product; that is my problem. After a long, frustrating «discussion» the manager agreed to exchange it, but only because I have spent a lot of money there.
This is a $ 20 frame. Their customer service is horrible and hence 1 star.

This place rocks. Great resource materials for all types of artists at all levels of their creative journey. The service staff were helpful and friendly. Highly recommend getting the rewards card ‘Blicks Art Materials’ where you get online prices in store. Free tshirts the time we went.

This store is pretty new, and I’m excited that something finally opened up to fill the void that Pearl closing has left. Utrecht is a decent sized store with lots of choices — many popular materials as well as some cool specialty stuff! It runs from quite cheap to very expensive, but the expensive options are definitely easier to find. That being said, I have no idea why everyone here was complaining about employees — they’re very helpful and seemed genuinely nice! I got exactly what I was looking for at a cheaper price than I expected to pay!
One star off because the store could be better organized, and not all materials of the same type are in the same place which I thought was silly — I want all my options in one place!
Otherwise, great location, great choices, great store. Got their discount card. Will use it.

Holy moly! This newer location is the bomb! They have EVERYTHING! down to easels, chairs, gifts EVERYTHING! staff is readily available to assist you.
This spit even has a clearance section! This has become my favorite blick/​utrecht store! They won my heart over with clearance section! Thryve got you covered in fine art supplies and crafting supplies! Screen printing kits, cards and stationary, hair chalk! What don’t they have at this location? I bet there’s a kitchen sink in the back! This location does carry spray paint too. If your artistic soul needs any items to get it’s juices flowing, this spot has got you covered!

Friendly staff but they’re a little pushy and legit they’re at every corner ready to help you.
The supplies lean a bit to the pricey side but you gotta spend what you got for ‘em. Hashtag art student struggles.

Dream come true — here’s why:
Medium-​sized SoHo art supply store that is very well organized
Basics — they’ve got basics for oils, printmaking, sketching, woodwork, wirework, pastels…
Specialty Tools — Utrecht has a large array of specialty art tools for carving and painting
Overall, my wallet is lucky I found this store just as I’m leaving town… I could buy something new every day!

This store has mostly everything you’re looking for in the art department. A huge store with many employees working to assist their fellow customers. Unlike many other art supply stores, Utrecht offers affordable prices, NOT the bumped up prices as seen in many other art stores.

Nice addition to the neighborhood. No need to schlep to Pearl to find a good selection of art papers, paint etc… My daughter visits the store every other week!

Good for traditional art mediums. Paint, pens pencils etc.

One star for the newness and all things that come with being a fancy new store. Another star for having everything organized and well stocked. And one star for the Air Conditioning madness.
The staff is a little lacking in knowledge and experience so be patient with them. One girl in particular was just very helpful but lacked the positive attitude, she was rude but in a very polite way. Excuse the staff’s ignorance and you’ve got yourself a big new art store.

Another Art Supply Opened around the Neighborhood! (before it was just Pearl Paint and other office supply that closed down)
Comparing to Other Utrecht Stores in NY I think this one on Soho has the LARGEST Selection and more Spread out.
I needed a Wood Panel for my office desk and came to the store which was 2 blocks away, they have a pretty descent selection, helpful staff and got what I wanted.
Can’t compare to prices since there’s not much other options to check out. But I know if I need anything I know where to go.
