Blick Art Materials

My go to. Everyone is nice, direct, get me in my way. Get me out the door into my next project.

Love this place if you can’t park in front right aid is across the street the people that work are always helpful and they have just about anything you want and if I’m not mistaken they honor just about any coupons…

Great art supply store in the Baltimore area! The quality of products definitely separates this store from the likes of Hobby Lobby, Michaels, etc. They have great selections of canvas, paint media (watercolor, oil, acrylic), paint brushes, all kinds of paper (drawing paper, wrapping paper, origami paper), clay, molding tools, just to name a few. I’m very impressed by the selection for how small the building is. Be prepared to splurge though, because quality comes with cost. I compare it to a boutique. The store is stocked with good quality products, that you’d be hard pressed to find anywhere else.
One downside is that they stock some generic products that you can find at places like Hobby Lobby, but their price was marked 10−20% more. Namely, a drawing table lamp that was $ 80 at Hobby Lobby was almost $ 100 here. My advice is to do your research before you buy something that may be readily available elsewhere.
However, that minute issue doesn’t deter me from visiting again. This store has A LOT to offer! I’ll be back!

«Customer Appreciation»
I’m not an art guy, but I went in and they had excellent customer service. I was trying to decorate a board for my church and I think I mistook the place for a crafts store, when it’s more art centered. I still think they could have had a little in the way of project building. I walked out with construction paper. I had came for that border that u used to put on the science project and big letters.

Nice art shop! It is clean and spacy. Everything is organized and sorted. You can compare the same thing in different brands. And price here is only a little bit higher than online stores, so why not just go and get immediately here?

Much better place to buy art supplies than Michael’s or a second rate art supply store. The employees are helpful and will take their time helping you. They were having a large sale when I went there and I saved quite a bit of money buying brushes and paints. This is by far the best art specialty store in the area.

Oil, pastel, frames, canvas; they got it all

I am not a professional artist. Nor am I an art student. So I can’t vouch for the quality, price, and selection of many of the items here.
But the store is large and clean and has enough things to keep me, an art hack, happy. I also like the fact that they carry Rhodia paper /​notebooks, as it’s one of my favorites. Although, I have to say, when I was looking for book-​binding materials, I found their selection somewhat lacking. I ended up buying those materials from a store in Ann Arbor when I visited the city… and I hear there is another store with more book-​binding materials somewhere near or on the MICA campus.
The employees are usually helpful. Actually, the last time I went, I showed them the Unilocal check-​in coupon here. The employee at the cash register saw it and then said, «I can do one better» and pulled out a 40% coupon and scanned it :) Awesome.

I came here looking for book-​binding supplies, and was pleased that they had everything that I needed. Unfortunately, they only had one of everything I needed: one kind to offer, and one left to offer. It made me feel like the place doesn’t get a lot of business and therefore doesn’t stock up on a huge variety of supplies. So if you need materials, you can find them here. But it appears that you’ll clean them out.

I have been in Utrecht a couple of times. They offer a variety of Art supplies. The staff offers excellent service, and they also offer MICA students a 10 percent discount. A great place to pick up all the art supplies you need for a decent price from a friendly staff!

i could spend a lot of hours walking around looking at art supplies. staff is always helpful. you can ask for a 20% discount if u are a teacher and/​or work at a school! that lil perk rocks!

Utrecht, all around is always my favorite art supply store. I’ve grown to love it back home in NYC, the one here in Baltimore is just as good if not BETTER.
Found all the materials I needed for class and they even had the whole kit of supplies for one of my classes so I didn’t even need to look! Courtesy of the good relations they have with my professor. So while I waited to pay, the cash registers were acting up so it took a while waiting on line. They started giving out free acrylic paint and oil paint to make up for the inconvenience. How great is that?!
Gotta love Baltimore’s friendliness!

Great store. Friendly service. Always has what I need. I’ve shopped at many Utrecht stores around the country, and this is one of the best. Tell my favorite babe Day I said Hi.

omg, i totally call 1sts!
Haven’t been here for years, but calling now to see if they are open, which they probably are not, but the awesome part is that after 10 rings an answering machine like beep is heard after cutting off the words of some robabe from the 80’s. keeping it local!
Will write actually review after going tomorrow.
