The Sydney Art Store - Art Supplies

The Sydney Art Store’s Alexandria shop is a dedicated art supplies retailer at Alexandria HomeMaker Centre, 49–59 O’Riordan Street. Its range is curated for everyone from beginners to professional artists, making it a practical stop for a first project, a quick top-up or a full studio restock. Alongside general supplies, the store offers art kits, gift cards and easel hire, with products including artist canvases and fine art brushes.

The store’s new ground-floor premises are spacious, bright and arranged for easy browsing. Entry is available from both O’Riordan and Doody Streets, while wide aisles and wheelchair-friendly access make it easier to move through the shop or transport larger materials. There are more than 700 on-site car spaces, including three hours of free parking, with accessible bays near the store.

There is a useful focus on specialist materials as well as everyday supplies. The website highlights Borciani e Bonazzi brushes, a handmade Italian range produced using natural hair, bristles and synthetic fibres. Its Build a Canvas team also makes custom artist canvases using locally made Hoop Pine stretchers, 32mm depth and self-locking resin wedges. The canvases are handcrafted daily, with a four-pack offer available on the featured product page.

The store suits solo shoppers who want time to compare materials, as well as artists planning larger purchases. A knowledgeable team is available to help, and the layout is designed to accommodate both brief visits and longer browsing sessions. It is open seven days a week: 9am–5.30pm Monday to Wednesday and Friday, 9am–7pm Thursday, 9am–5pm Saturday, and 10am–5pm Sunday. The venue holds a 4.9 Google rating from 1,410 reviews.
