Heritage and History
Robert Blick founded the company in Galesburg, Illinois in 1911 as a small retail art supply store serving local artists and schools. The company grew steadily through the twentieth century as art education expanded in American schools and the professional artist community grew. Blick's catalog business — shipping art supplies to artists across the country who had no access to quality local suppliers — transformed the company into a national operation.
Today, Blick operates retail stores across America and manufactures its own Studio by Blick brand products domestically. The retail business provides distribution reach that allows the house-brand products to compete with major brand alternatives on quality and value.
Made in Galesburg, Illinois
Blick manufactures Studio by Blick house-brand products at its Galesburg, Illinois facility, maintaining the quality standards and value proposition that made the house brand successful alongside the major brands the company distributes. The manufacturing covers acrylic paints, tempera, watercolors, and drawing materials.
For art students and educators who want quality materials at accessible prices, Blick's Galesburg-manufactured Studio line provides American-made alternatives to the major brands. The company's expertise in professional artist materials — developed over more than a century of serving the art community — informs the formulation and manufacturing specifications for every house-brand product.
