At Art of Where, we take pride in being a Canadian-based company, operating out of Montreal, Quebec, for over 15 years. We believe that where a product is made matters—not just for quality, but for sustainability, ethical employment, and reliable service. As a unionized company, we are committed to providing fair wages and stable jobs to our team, ensuring that the people behind our products are valued and supported. We ship worldwide and are fiercely proud to provide products that build buisnesses worldwide.

Why Choose a Canadian Manufacturer?

Working with a Canadian manufacturer like Art of Where offers key benefits for artists and businesses looking for custom, on-demand products. Here’s why partnering with us makes a difference:

High-Quality, Locally-Sourced Materials
Did you know 70% of the fabrics we use in our products are either made in Canada or sourced from Canadian distributors? This ensures quality control, reduces supply chain delays, and supports local textile industries.

Ethical and Fair Working Conditions
As a unionized company, we prioritize ethical labor practices, fair wages, and safe working conditions. When you choose Art of Where, you’re supporting a company that values its employees and their craftsmanship.

Faster Shipping & No Hidden Fees
For customers in Canada, working with a Canadian manufacturer means faster shipping times, no surprise duties, and no border delays. U.S. customers also benefit from smooth cross-border shipping and reliable delivery times. We have a great system for cross-border shipping to the USA, where we import goods directly over the border to ship with USPS. Even though we are based in Canada, we provide quick and reliable shipping to our USA customers or any orders shipping to USA addresses. Through our relationship with shipping professionals, we are able to adjust to any cross-border shipping changes quickly with little impact on our customers.

Sustainable & Responsible Production
Keeping our manufacturing local means reducing the carbon footprint associated with overseas production. We produce on-demand, which minimizes waste and ensures that every product is made with care and purpose.

A Commitment to Our USA Customers
We deeply value our customers in the United States, who make up a significant portion of our community. Our goal is to provide everyone with high-quality, custom-made products without the hassle of long wait times or unexpected costs. By streamlining our cross-border shipping process and maintaining strong relationships with logistics professionals, we ensure that orders shipping to the USA arrive quickly and reliably. We are committed to making it easy and efficient for our American customers to access unique, Canadian-made products that help their businesses thrive. As shipping systems change in the world, we are staying up-to-date on new regulations and incorporating them into our system so they have minor impact to your business and order flow.

A Commitment to Canadian-Made Excellence
By manufacturing in Canada and prioritizing locally sourced materials, we create products that help artists and entrepreneurs build their businesses without compromising on quality, ethics, or sustainability. Whether you’re an artist looking for a trusted print partner or a customer looking for beautifully made custom goods, Art of Where delivers Canadian-made excellence every step of the way.

When you choose Art of Where, you’re not just choosing a product— you’re choosing to support local industries, ethical manufacturing, and a sustainable future. Let’s create something amazing together!
