What we do
Shop supplies, build your studio, or learn something new. Everything is curated by a team that actually uses the tools we sell.
Art Classes
Hands-on workshops and multi-week courses in watercolour, acrylics, drawing, printmaking, and more, beginner-friendly and fun.
Hardware
The “get it done” aisle: hardware, tools, and project supplies for hanging, fixing, building, sanding, sealing, and organizing your space.
Locally Made Artist Paints
Local colour, real expertise: as part of Tri-Art Mfg., we can help you choose paints and mediums with the kind of product knowledge you only get close to the makers.
A creative hub built in Kingston
Art Noise is a local, independent shop built for people who like to make things. For 10 years, we’ve been a creative hub in downtown Kingston, helping artists, students, teachers, and weekend DIYers find materials that feel good to use and hold up in real projects.
Inside the shop you’ll find a curated mix of art supplies and practical hardware. We stock trusted materials for studio painting, drawing, printmaking, and mixed media, plus the tools and essentials that make it easier to set up your space, stay organized, and finish work with confidence. Whether you’re building a classroom supply list, trying a new medium, or top-coating a piece of furniture, we’re happy to talk through options and help you choose what fits your budget and your goals.
Art Noise is family-owned and operated, and proudly owned by Tri-Art Mfg. Being connected to a Canadian manufacturer keeps us close to the “making” side of materials. It means deeper product knowledge, better recommendations, and access to Canadian-made colour right here in Kingston.
We also believe creativity grows in community. Our classroom and workshops are designed to be welcoming, practical, and hands-on, so you can learn new skills, meet other makers, and keep making more art. As a Living Wage Employer through Ontario’s Living Wage Network, we’re committed to supporting the people who make this space possible, too.
