Right in the very center of Atlanta is Midtown. A bustling community of commercial businesses, innovation, retail, and culture; we liken it to being in the heart of it all. Extremely walkable, it is one of the few areas of Atlanta where the streets are built on a natural grid. It’s easily accessible by bike, train, or car – boasting 4 stops along MARTA’s public transit system, and being flanked by the I-75/I-85 highway connector and the Atlanta BeltLine’s newly developed Eastside Trail. In Midtown, you’ll find an amazing range of restaurants, an ever-changing art scene, landmark institutions such as The Woodruff Arts Center and The Fox Theatre, and innovation hubs like Tech Square. All of this is balanced by an expansive display of tidy tree-lined streets and Atlanta’s largest public green space, Piedmont Park.
Family-owned and operated, Blick has been serving the creative community since 1911. Initially, owners Mr. and Mrs. Dick Blick had their “warehouse” located in their kitchen and their "shipping department" at the local post office. Their first product was a lettering pen, which quickly became a bestseller. Blick Art Supplies is now the largest discounter of art materials nationwide. They bring a wide selection of materials, promotions, and competitive prices, as well as hundreds of lesson plans for teachers and product videos for artists. Their shop on Peachtree Street is a go-to spot for local creatives.
