About

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.

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

Shop Hours
Physical shop is open: Tuesday - Friday, 11 - 5pm, and Saturday, 12 - 5pm
The online shop is accessible 24/7

Location
401 Richmond Street West, Suite 104, Toronto ON M5V 3A8.

Sales
Sales for artist works on consignment are split 50/50 between Open Studio and the artist. By purchasing from Open Studio, buyers can directly support artists as well as the space in which they make their work. Fundraising Proofs (signed as FPs), publishing projects, and subscription prints are created as fundraisers for Open Studio. All proceeds from these items are put back into running the studio space and public programming.

The artist-made items presented through our shop illustrate print’s dynamic range of media, styles and applications. We have a physical store as part of our space at 401 Richmond and an evolving online shop, which provides artists working through the studio a commercial outlet for their work.
