About us

The creators in our world are undervalued for the positive and inspirational effect their work has on us.  Many of us have a song or movie or book that has had a major affect on our lives.  When people embrace these tangible outcomes of the creative life, there is an effect on their soul. 

The visual artist is unique among artists.  Their pieces are displayed in homes, offices, galleries and institutions for people to enjoy and be inspired by every day.

As visual artists ourselves, we realize that for many of us, the cost of supplies is something we are always watching out for.  We wait for that 20% sale that comes several times a year at our local art supply store or at one of the larger chains of crafting and artist supplies.  

At FreeTheArtist.ca, we want to liberate the Canadian artist from worrying and waiting for that 20% sale, so they can concentrate on the work of creating.  We strive to keep our overhead costs down, so that we can pass along our savings to you the artist and keep our prices as low as possible.

Our business launched in September of 2023 and even though we have tried to identify any issues or shortcomings on our site, there may be a few glitches still.  Please let us know if there is a problem or if you have any suggestions or question by filling out a short contacting us.  It will be our pleasure to respond in a timely manner.

Are you an educator?

Educators are critical to the ongoing development and encouragement of both emerging artists and those of us that are seasoned.  Freetheartist.ca believes it is important to encourage educators and to help facilitate the acquisition of supplies at the best price.

If you are an institutional or private educator or both, please contact us by filling out an educator contact form and let us know what would help make your life easier.  We are glad to correspond and discuss any requirements you have and discuss pricing that will reduce your overall costs for you and your students as they learn.

FreeTheArtist.ca is a Canadian small business, focused only on visual artists located in Canada.

Thanks,

The FreeTheArtist.ca team
