You will find locally made Tri Art paints and mediums, Canadian designed surfaces and accessories, and other products created by makers across the country, all curated by the Art Noise team in Kingston so you can stock your studio with materials that reflect where you live and work.

Which Canadian brands or makers will I find in this collection?

The Canadian Made Art Supplies collection features Tri Art Mfg., a Kingston based manufacturer behind many of our professional paints, mediums and surfaces, alongside other Canadian makers and small brands. You can explore Tri Art ranges such as High Viscosity Acrylic Paint, locally produced Tri Art Watercolours, and our house line Art Noise Acrylic Paint, then discover additional Canadian products in the broader Canadian Products collection.

Are Canadian made art supplies suitable for both beginners and professional artists?

Yes, many of the products in the Canadian Made Art Supplies collection are used by working artists as well as serious beginners, because Canadian manufacturers like Tri Art focus on high pigment loads, consistent quality and long term durability. New painters can start with accessible options such as Art Noise Acrylic Paint, while professional artists can explore specialized lines like High Viscosity Acrylics and Tri Art Watercolours, then round out their kits with other tools and surfaces from Art Supplies.

Can I build a fully Canadian studio setup using this collection?

If you want to keep your studio as Canadian as possible, the Canadian Made Art Supplies collection is a great place to start, since it brings together Canadian made paints, grounds, mediums and substrates. You can combine acrylics and watercolours from Tri Art and Art Noise Acrylic Paint with locally produced panels, papers and accessories, then fill in any gaps through related collections such as Painting Supplies and Substrates while still prioritizing products made close to home.

What are the benefits of choosing Canadian made art supplies from Art Noise?

Choosing items from the Canadian Made Art Supplies collection supports Canadian manufacturers, artists and small businesses, keeps more of your spending within the Canadian economy and can reduce shipping distances for many products. Because Art Noise and Tri Art are both based in Kingston, Ontario, you can often get detailed product knowledge and technical support directly from the people who make the paints and mediums.

Do Canadian made art supplies cover multiple mediums like acrylic, watercolour and mixed media?

Canadian makers produce a wide range of media, and many of them are brought together in the Canadian Made Art Supplies collection. Tri Art creates professional High Viscosity Acrylics, fluid colours such as Liquid Acrylics, and artist grade Watercolours, alongside mediums, grounds and finishes that work across mixed media practices. You can combine these with Canadian made supports and then explore complementary tools in the larger Painting Supplies collection for a flexible, multi medium setup.

Are there Canadian made options for DIY home projects like cabinet refinishing and furniture painting?

Alongside studio art materials, the Canadian Made Art Supplies collection connects to Canadian made products for home and furniture projects, including paints and coatings that feature in our Cabinet Paint in Kingston guide. You can combine locally produced paints, primers and finishes with tools from Furniture Paints & Accessories and general Hardware, so your DIY projects can be built around Canadian made materials as well as Canadian expertise.

Can I shop Canadian made art supplies online and in store, and do you ship across Canada?

Yes, you can browse and purchase from the Canadian Made Art Supplies collection online with shipping options available across Canada, or visit Art Noise in person at 290 Princess Street in Kingston to see Canadian made paints and materials up close.
