Blick Art Materials

Wonderful art store. They have so many items, from airbrushes to spray cans to pencils, markers, and sketchbooks. Significantly better selection of brands and items than other chain art stores, whose selections seem like pebbles compared to Blick's. Staff are very nice and willing to help you find anything you are looking for! Location could be better, but it's not a dangerous drive here at all, more just an odd area. Inside of the store is clean and organized, all materials are new and aren't used or damaged, they stock lots of popular brands like Winsor & Newton, Prismacolor, Strathmore, and so many more. They have professional and beginner grade art supplies, so you don't have to be stuck with only getting beginner stuff or vice versa, depending on your skill and budget. If there is a product you are looking for, go here! You can also check their website to see if they even carry it, and their website is great to use when compared with Michael's or the dreaded Hobby Lobby. They have deals and discounts periodically, as well as a student discount of 5% or so. It is really a store you need to visit if you LOVE art or are looking for art supplies for a friend or family member who loves art (since they have some of the more expensive or professional art supplies, which make GREAT gifts). If you don't mind the area and are a seasoned Cleveland resident, it will be a great visit!

The clerks were patient and very helpful with a 10 year old budding artist's curiousity and questions. This place is well stocked and friendly knowledgeable people are happy to help you!

October 2021: I was my first time purchasing artist grade materials. As I progress through my art journey, the ball point pens on standard printer paper will not suffice. I was on the market for Bristol paper, micron pens, colored pencils, white pens, markers, pencil sharpener, and a roll-up pouch, which I found and had the opportunity to practice with prior to purchasing.

Pros:
* Friendly staff greeted me and helped to direct me to the preferred isle of supplies.
* Top notch materials at good prices. I compared prices to Michaels and Blick came in less expensive, especially when buying in bulk. I bought everything for just shy of $60...which I can make my money back by selling one sketch.
* The variety of paints, pens, pastel colors, etc. was amazing. Very close to every color imaginable was available and in standard, metallic, or glittery bright shades.

Cons:
* I am not currently a student so I could not get the 10% discount. Despite that, the prices are still cheaper than most.

Helpful and friendly. For an art store, the prices are good. This is the spot when you need that extra bit of quality or selection that you can't get at the hobby store.

Love the selection and prices for my acrylic paints, canvases and frames!

Blick offers endless options for art materials. The staff at Blick are true masterpieces! The customer service this team provides is hands down the finest.

Awesome place awesome service great selection they’ve been helping with the high end spray paints!!!! MONTANA FLUORESCENT ALL THE WAY!!🤟🏼😜😜😜 helpin me glue together my glow room production studio!! Night and day difference in quality paint I’ll add!!👌🏼👌🏼🤜🏼🤛🏼😎😎. Try em out its well worth just seeing the unique selection out there and available.

Truly a great art store! They have pretty much anything, including oil paint mediums, Testors enamel paints, stickers, mural paints, giant fluffy paintbrushes, toned drawing paper, and Iwata airbrushes and Iwata quick release hoses. If you want soemthing, they’ve probably got it! The lowest level Iwata airbrush is only $79 which is pretty cheap to the airbrushes that Hobby Lobby sells which are GSI CREOS midline airbrushes which are too expensive for entry level.
Staff is friendly and helpful if you have anything that you’re looking for. Store has good baseline prices for Prismacolor pencils, pretty much $2-$3 off of MSRP. I got a 72 ct. Prismacolor Premier pencil set, Strathmore colored pencil paper, and a few odds and ends like erasers or pencil sharpeners. They have a discount system that you can sign up for in-store if you’re an art student or teacher, and since I’m a Career Tech student I got 10% off my whole purchase which made a difference to a nearly $95 purchase which was brought down to $90. This place is the best of the best to come to in Northeast Ohio for pretty much any art supply you can think of! And don’t be afraid to call the store either, they are responsive and knowledgeable.

The area around the corner of the store is a little sketch but that’s Cleveland. Its only a few miles down the road from the Mayfield Cemetery and Little Italy, so if you want to avoid Route 9 and the backroads you can go the same way you would take across the shoreline hwy and MLK Boulevard thru university circle to get the the Cleveland Museum of Art, and just continue further down Mayfield Rd. It’s worth the trek here instead of Hobby Lobby, JoAnn’s or Michael’s. Michael’s was sold out of the 72 ct. Prismacolor Premier pencils and the price was $3 more expensive there than at Blick. It’s totally worth the trip! Thanks for supplying artists with the supplies we WANT!

I love going to Blick! They are a wonderful reservation for art supplies. When I'm looking for something special, above and beyond your local craft store. My last purchase was a mirrored metallic paint pen. The store clerk took the time to show me a sample of how the product performed and showed all the options available. They are conveniently located in Cleveland Heights with parking in front

This is the place for excellent customer service and having the products needed for any project!

Special thanks to Lauren the manager at Blick Art Materials! You were truly amazing in helping my daughter with everything she needed; from assisting with options over the phone to the supplies needed for her project when she arrived to your store then to her safety with the Uber driver as she left! Going over and beyond was truly recognized! I appreciate you so much! Thanks for being AWESOME! 🫶🏼

So many art supplies from many brands, Prismacolor, Staedler ,Winsor and Newton, Copic, etc.

The workers are very friendly, and are incredibly helpful, they know where everything is and what you should use.

The art work around the store is also amazing, many beautiful works all around.

So totally different than my local blick arts store. Pretty small but uses every inch of space. Great staff. Cool local vibe.

I love this place. They seem to stock everything and they cover such a wide variety of art mediums. I do wish there was a location closer to Canton or Akron but I cannot fault this location for that. The staff has always helpful and friendly to me. Prices are fair but even better if you're a student or teacher, as it should be. If you love art, you simply must stop by!!!

I went looking for calligraphy supplies, got everything on my list for less money than I thought it was going to be & the awesome sales associate was so helpful (I'm sorry I didn't get your name!) suggested what turned out to be the perfect book. I will be coming back soon. Thanks!

I love Blick art materials. The location is a bit hard to get to so we don't go very often but when we do, we always have a super chill time. The music is always great, the associates are always having some kind of existential crisis and they love airing it. I imagine it's a therapeutic experience for them to be fully themselves in such a welcoming place.

Aisles are clean and orderly, signs are always clear. Parking can be a bit hairy and there are some pot holes on the incline of the drive way, it will probably freeze with water in the winter. Be careful.

My first visit here and they were doing dirty pour demonstrations!! Pretty cool!!! Its a small store, butbthe people there were so helpful!

An artist dream space - supply galore! Friendly staff with helpful info.

Great place to go for most of the art supplies you need. They have a decent range of low to high quality paints and brushes, plenty of journals and sketchbooks, and even some odder things like wool, gold leaf, apoxie-sculpt, and bookbinding equipment: stuff you aren't going to find at Michael's or Jo-Ann.
The staff is very knowledgeable, helpful, and enthusiastic.

Great selection of high quality supplies, and a very friendly staff that's willing to help whenever needed. I can't believe I have been going to the big box stores for all my supplies in the past, this is my main art supply store from now on!

I drove over an hour to get to this store. I wanted expert advice to get my daughter an easel and some art supplies for Christmas, and I was told these guys could help. They were A-ma-zing. Patient, despite a long line. Positive, ready to help, knowledgeable, not pushy at all. I detest shopping in all forms, but this was a pain free, rewarding experience. The store is smallish but jam packed with a huge variety of artists' supplies, heavy on the 2d media, but some 3d stuff and kids stuff too. And the prices are astonishingly reasonable for the quality you're getting. Cannot recommend them enough.
