ECPSI Class Supplies

Students are responsible for purchasing their own art supplies. Expect to spend $200–450 depending on your course length (1 week, 2 weeks or 4 weeks). We recommend that you order these materials as soon as possible to allow for any shipping and handling delays. You may choose to purchase certain items when you arrive in Chicago depending on your travel plans. Your supply list may also indicate that you will need to purchase additional supplies during the course depending on your unique projects.

Blick Art Materials is located at 16 W. Randolph in Chicago.

Students are not permitted to have supplies shipped to their dorm before their arrival.  Anything shipped to the Residence Hall before the start of a student's stay will be returned to the sender. Please note that ResLife cannot hold items for you before or after your class sessions.

While their class is in session, students may have supplies shipped to the following address:

Jones Hall address: 

7 West Madison Street 

Room Number 

Chicago, IL 60602

If you already have some of the same or similar materials, you do not need to purchase them again!

Supply lists will be posted as we receive them, but no later than two weeks before the start of your course.
