We researched Blick Art Materials's official pricing, terms, product pages, help pages and outside reviews. We haven't used Blick Art Materials ourselves, so this is a research-based review, not a hands-on test.

Who it’s best for

  • Art students.
  • Painters and illustrators.
  • Teachers buying class supplies.

What it costs

Prices checked October 31, 2026, from Blick Art Materials’s own pricing page unless noted. Prices change often, so check the official page before you buy.

  • Products on its site ranged from a few dollars to several hundred dollars (checked October 30, 2026); free shipping over $89.
  • Its returns, shipping and pricing-policy pages explain returns and price terms.

What we like

  • Huge catalog.
  • Stores plus online.
  • Trustpilot 3.7 from 297.
  • BBB profile and outside reviews.

What to watch for

  • Shipping costs under $89.
  • Big catalog is hard to browse.
  • Mixed delivery reviews.
  • Some items ship separately.

The main alternative: Michaels

Michaels is a general-crafts rival.

What it costs: Varies by item

Pick Blick Art Materials if you…

  • want artist-grade supplies.
  • want a huge catalog.
  • want class supplies.

Pick Michaels if you…

  • want general crafts.
  • want more store locations.
  • want home decor too.

Our take

Blick is a go-to art-supply store with a deep catalog; plan orders around its free-shipping threshold.
