On Saturday, November 7, 2009, the Blick Art Materials store in Wheaton, IL hosted interactive demonstrations led by representatives from Sanford and Golden for art teachers attending the Illinois Art Education Association (IAEA) 2009 Conference. The event, which required pre-registration, was filled well in advance. Everyone came away with great knowledge and really enjoyed the experience. Attendees also received free giveaways from Golden and Sanford, as well as fun Blick goody bags filled with samples, t-shirts, and other materials. Thank you to Diana Garrett from Sanford and Sandie Bacon from Golden for leading the demonstrations for our IAEA guests!

The Las Vegas Blick store will be participating in the Ethel’s Chocolate 16th Annual Holiday Cactus Lighting Event on Tuesday, November 17, 2009. The event will be held from 5-8pm at the Botanical Cactus Garden next to Ethel’s Chocolate Factory in Henderson, NV. The official lighting countdown is expected to take place around 6pm.

Recycling company TerraCycle will be present at the event. Guests may bring in one candy wrapper as a donation to TerraCycle and receive a free ticket to the Cactus Lighting (limit eight per family). Wrappers will be “upcycled” in the production of new eco-friendly items.
Other activities include a painting area where artists of all ages and ability will have the chance to decorate their own square of canvas during the event. Stop by and say hello to staff from the Las Vegas Blick store, who will be on hand for this festive occasion!

Treasure Island Music Festival
On October 17th and 18th associates from the Blick Art Materials stores in Berkeley and Oakland, CA attended the Treasure Island Music Festival. This festival is one of the largest of its kind in Northern California and draws popular independent music acts from around the country. Held on a man-made island in the San Francisco Bay, Treasure Island Music Festival also featured a variety of other exhibits and activities.
Spray Painting and Sumi Activities
Blick was excited to supply materials for the art area, which included spray painting and Sumi ink demos. The Blick Art Materials booth was in a neighboring location, so our staff was in the perfect spot to be in on all the fun. Our prize wheel was a huge hit and visitors took home goodies like free t-shirts, product samples, and discounts for store purchases. Thanks to the Blick employees for working the festival and to everyone who stopped by the booth! And of course, thank you to the Treasure Island Music Festival for making this opportunity possible.
