Staples had a good quality, but Blick's were very high quality AND cheaper than Staples. This was the first time that I shopped at this Blick as they recently moved into this former Joann store from their India Street location. While this store is a little more out-of-the-way, it is a wonderful size for Blick, and all on one level. Items are easy to find and nicely displayed, making the store a joy to browse in. If they don't have it, you probably don't need it. They also have some fun not-exactly-art things, but fewer books than I remember being at the India store. Lots of easy parking. Helpful service, too.

Neither location was…read moreespecially easy to travel to but Midway location has an advantage with a private parking lot! I had a great time browsing. I remember art stores were filled to the brim in inventory. With online sales perhaps competition is greater. Watercolor, oils, gauche, acrylics paint selection was magnificent. I hope they stock more 100% Cotton watercolor paper. The choices were slim. The manager was very friendly and helpful. Blick is on the higher side of art materials but there is a student and teacher discount. Thank you!

There's so much parking at liberty station and the place is easy to find! There are so many different options to choose from with the prices directly on each item which is really nice. You do have to wait a few days to collect the pottery (they fire it up), so make sure you're not leaving town and can pick it up!

Still plenty of fall and Halloween items available, but the Christmas stuff is coming out for those who are ready to plan early. They also stock a bunch of candy for impulse buys next to the register. Got to say I was excited to see Cream Savers. Don't think I've seen them anywhere since the 90s and I have definitely thought about them since. Score! Sometimes it's hard to find somebody that works here, but everybody's always very friendly. I feel like they run kind of shortstaffed.
