Blick Art Materials

Blick Art Materials, commonly known as Dick Blick, is a family-owned retailer and catalog art supply business established in 1911 by Dick and Grace Blick. Initially operating as a mail-order business from their kitchen, the company has grown to become one of the largest art materials suppliers in the United States. Blick offers over 90,000 products, including paints, brushes, canvases, and drawing supplies, catering to professional artists, educators, students, and hobbyists. The company operates more than 60 retail stores across the U.S. and the District of Columbia, employs nearly 2,000 team members, and maintains a robust online presence.

Throughout its history, Blick has remained committed to supporting the arts community. In 2013, the company expanded its reach by acquiring Utrecht Art Supplies, known for its handcrafted paints and brushes. Blick's dedication to quality and service is evident in its extensive product offerings and educational resources, aiming to provide artists of all levels with the tools and inspiration needed to achieve their creative potential.
