raw materials

We’re getting closer to our anniversary and the accompanying truckload canvas sale. Many of you took advantage of the early-bird specials last week, and now we’re opening up the full range of sizes for pre-ordering by the case. The cases range from 65% to 85% off.

Check out the full list of case sizes and prices available for pre-order. We’ll be taking orders until November 7, and the cases will be available for pick-up starting on November 14.

The canvases are made by Art Alternatives. Natural, unbleached medium-weight (8oz) cotton duck is stretched around specially designed, kiln-dried stretcher bars, and held in place with a flexible spline allowing these canvases to be painted on all four edges as well as the canvas surface. The surface is triple-primed with acid-free acrylic titanium gesso and staple-free on the sides. Studio Stretched Canvas features a ⅞” edge, and Gallery Stretched Canvas features a thick 1½” edge. Both are suitable for oil and acrylic painting.

And by pre-ordering cases of canvas now for pick-up when our truckload sale starts on November 14, you’re getting the best possible price we can offer – up to 85% off for a limited time.

Check out the early-bird order form which shows you what is available for order as part of this special. We’ll have the full list of pre-order deals available next week, and information on the in-store sales prices as we get closed to November 14.
