Savannah, GA — Blick Art Materials, a leading provider of art supplies, has opened its 38th retail location in downtown Savannah, Ga., at 318 E. Broughton St. The new store will boast the largest selection of core art materials in Savannah, stocking more than 20,000 art supplies.
Blick’s arrival in Savannah follows the acquisition of Primary Art Supply, which occupied a smaller retail location three blocks west on Broughton Street. Primary’s former owners Amy Spurlock and Robyn Reeder will continue to play a leading role by helping Blick with local sales and marketing while also transitioning the entire Primary Art Supply staff to their new positions with Blick Art Materials.
“Robyn Reeder and the Primary staff inspire us,” says Ed Ogorzaly, president of retail at Blick Art Materials. “Blick is about family, Blick is about community, and — much like Primary — Blick is about supporting the arts and students of the arts.”
Founded in 1911, Blick Art Materials is one of the largest and oldest providers of art supplies in the United States, with 38 retail stores nationwide. The company’s corporate office is located in Highland Park, Ill., and its main operations are located in Galesburg, Ill. For more information, visit www.DickBlick.com.
