Avenue Des Arts

“For a professional artist, it’s almost a waste of time to go in a big-box art supplies store; how can the floor staff have any expertise in the 20,000 products sold there? Personalized help is what we can offer artists who need the right product,” assures art lover and owner of Avenue des Arts, Pierre Le Gourrierec. From his Westmount outpost on Victoria Avenue he provides the most exhaustive assortment of high-end supplies in Montreal, including an impressive variety of specialty brushes, as well as all the best accessories for disciplines such as calligraphy and engraving.

“Our goal has always been to be Montreal’s reference for everything and anything a serious professional artist may need. We offer best-in-class products in many categories, and carry many Canadian – and even North American – exclusives,” Pierre explains. “And we back those excellent products up with excellent, knowledgeable service, all for the benefit of our clientele of artists.”

Avenue des Arts’ main strength resides in its team of inveterate art lovers and practicing artists, whose tried and true expertise allows them to answer any customer questions. As Pierre puts it: “We have the well of knowledge to understand our customers’ needs and deliver.”
