Open Studio Shop

Open Studio is an artist-run centre dedicated to contemporary print. We offer accessible, inclusive and affordable printmaking facilities, programs and services for artists and the public from across Canada and abroad. Check out our main website here.

Open Studio Shop specializes in contemporary prints, multiples, and limited editions, most of which are created by artist members, visiting artists, and guest artists at our studio facilities in downtown Toronto. We also offer registration access to our print courses, held in-house at 401 Richmond Street West (Suite 104), Toronto.

The artist-made items available through our shop showcase the dynamic range of print media, styles, and applications. In addition to our physical store at 401 Richmond, we have an evolving online shop, offering artists working through the studio a platform to sell their work.

Open Studio prints are featured in collections across Canada and internationally. We also offer personalized consultations for individuals, businesses, and designers. For inquiries or to arrange a consultation, please email us.
