Blick Attends Minnesota Aviation Contest Reception

Blick’s Spring Fling Event a Huge Success!

Each store put a personal spin on the day’s event.  The Lincoln Park location had delicious cupcakes provided by Bleeding Heart Bakery, New York had DJ Apple come to spin, San Francisco had Diana Lee come in to do a Scratchboard Demo!  Other stores had airbrush artists giving customers their very own temporary tattoos, live watercolor artists painting throughout the day, and many talented musicians.  The day was full of fun and surprises.  Each store picked a winner for the all-day raffle, who won a 156-color set of Prisma Color Markers, and a winner of the body art demo raffle, who won a free Iwata body art application kit! 

All the stores had lots of fun giving their customers a day of discounts, prizes, fun and free entertainment! What a perfect way to celebrate the Spring season!

Double Discount Days and Demos at All Stores!

March Double Discount Days are quickly approaching!  Friday, March 9 through Sunday, March 11, 2012 we will be offering our valued, preferred customers an exclusive discount of 20% off their entire purchases, all weekend long at all store locations!  Throughout the weekend we will also be hosting free demos!  March is Youth Art Month, so in observance we are offering three youth focused demos that are entertaining for all ages, including adults!  Plus, you can leave each demo with your creation (while supplies last)!

Join us in store on Friday, March 9 for a Suminagashi Paper Marbling Demo!  The word “Suminagashi” translates literally as “spilled ink.”  Centuries before the art of marbleizing papers was practiced in Western cultures, Japanese craftsman created patterns by floating ink on the surface of water and transferring it to a sheet of paper.  In this demo you will be able to create your own unique print using this same method!

A Mise-en-Scene demo will be held on Saturday, March 10.  “Mise-en-Scene” (meaning “to place on stage”) is a French expression referring to the physical setting of a stage or performance.  The background scenery is designed to help tell a story in a play or on film by creating an environment.  Create a small scene of your own using templates or from your imagination!

Don’t miss an Impressionistic Marker “Painting” demo on Sunday, March 11!  The alcohol based ink in Blick Studio Markers makes them great for paper applications, but for a really unique drawing experience, try them on clear film during this demo.  Make your drawing into a custom bookmark!

Support the young artists in your family and community!  We hope to see you in stores in support of Youth Art Month taking advantage of our free, fun, and inspirational demos!  Not to mention, great savings!

Discount is exclusive to Preferred Card Members.  Not a member? Learn more about our Preferred Card Program.
