Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question?

What is the Student Artist Membership at Opus?

We're offering a free one-year Artist Membership to students enrolled in post-secondary, secondary, or accredited art programs. It provides all the perks of the Artist Tier, including 10% cashback, access to exclusive events, and more. Typically this membership is CAD$35/year.

How do I sign up as a student?

You have two options:

  • Instantly verify your student status through SheerID and get a discount code to redeem the Artist Membership for free.
  • Show you student ID and proof of enrollment to a store manager. They’ll give you a promo code you can use online to redeem the Artist Membership for free.

What is SheerID?

SheerID is a secure third-party service that verifies student status. It’s used by many retailers and institutions to confirm eligibility for student offers.

Can I sign up in-store instead of online?

You can’t enroll directly in-store but our Store manager can help you get verified and provide you with a code to redeem the membership online. Staff can walk you through this if needed too. We're here to help.

What happens after one year?

After your free year:

  • If you're still a student, you can re-verify and get another discount code to redeem another year free.
  • If you don't cancel your Artist Membership and don't renew for another year free, you'll automatically be charged $35/year upon your renewal date.
  • You may cancel at any time throughout your free year and still maintain access to your free year privileges, after which you'll drop to our base tier or whichever tier you naturally fall into based on your yearly spend.

What email should I use when signing up?

Use the same email linked to your Opus online account so your membership connects properly. If you’re not sure, ask a staff member to check for you.

How do I cancel my free Student Artist Membership?

You can cancel your membership anytime through your online Opus account.

Here’s how:

  • Go to opusartsupplies.com
  • Navigate to Account > Manage Membership
  • Then select Cancel Membership.

You may also cancel in-store by asking the cashier to downgrade your account to our free tier.

If I cancel, do I lose my benefits right away?

No. You’ll keep all your Artist benefits (10% cashback, free event access, etc.) until the end of your current 1-year term. Cancelling just stops it from renewing or billing.
