The Davie Art Shop was originally established in 1930. The current owner and manager Phillip Tran has been running the store for over 30 years. Located in the Davie Street Village, The Davie Art Shop is recognized for its high quality custom framing and friendly neighbourhood service. The store is full of original artworks from artists both local and around the globe.
Opus Art Supplies began as a small picture frame manufacturer over 35 years ago, designing its own frames and stocking framing supplies oriented towards the professional arts community. A great many of the relationships which we established early on have remained, as many of our long-term customers continue to shop with us to this day. We now stock ready-made frames, chop frames and mats, student and professional art supplies, a full range of unique arts and craft materials which we continue to expand plus a Digital Printing Service to take digital artwork and photographs from the screen to print.
