Looking for a Toronto art store

November 14, 2010 10:08 AM

During an episode of a Canadian home design/renovation show one of the designers visited a store in Toronto and was leafing through piles of art prints. Any idea of what that store is called and where it is located?

So you're looking for a store in Toronto that stores art prints in piles ... I'm no expert in this but it seems like this could describe any given store. Can you describe the types of prints, or even the name/date/time/channel of the show; they sometimes list sources on the website.

Response by poster: This is a hazy memory from about 3 years ago. I wish I could remember more! I do recall that the store wasn't a gallery but also wasn't a mass-production poster store either. The designer was looking through what looked like limited edition prints of birds and flowers.

Best answer: MrsV here. Could it be Sarah Richardson?
I loved the room featured in this episode of Design Inc, and I think she flipped through a pile of art prints during it.
Her source was Canvas Gallery and they describe themselves as "the alternative to the traditional gallery. We offer an impressive selection and variety of original pieces to first-time buyers and seasoned collectors alike. Paintings, photography, encaustic & mixed media pieces as well as works on paper are presented in a casual non-intimidating atmosphere where customers are encouraged to flip through the work at their own pace.
