We carry a range of art supplies that keeps growing monthly! We carry predominantly Canadian companies and companies with a strong eco focus. We also carry various DIY kits by local artists.

Here is a list of the companies and range of products we currently carry:

Beam Paints

Beam Paints is the result of a multi-generational love of pigment, paint, colour, and innovation in M'Chigeeng First Nation on Manitoulin Island. Anong Beam draws on her early educations in Indigenous pigment and expands it to encompass all paint traditions. A focus on high quality pigment content creates sublime artist materials, with plastic free packaging. Lightfast pigments, tree sap, gum arabic, and Manitoulin honey, blend together to create a handmade  saturated colour that is a joy to paint with.
