To find suppliers of art supplies on the island a person can feel limited sometimes. So why feel that way, you can always get it shipped right to you and most places are getting online.
The local areas covered, are Vancouver island, surrounding islands and maybe some from the mainland.

I will be also listing some online international suppliers in the future.

Anyone can email me with information that I might not have here, maybe of a smaller store in, for example, Port McNeil. It's a work in progress and would love more listings to add. [email protected]
