YOUR INVITED
Celebrating 50 Years of Creativity with Opus!

We’re thrilled to invite you to celebrate our 50th Anniversary! For five decades, Opus Art Supplies has been a hub for creatives, and now it’s time to mark this milestone together with member events, sales – and special 50th anniversary gifts!

A Tribute To Our Founder, David

Celebrate with us as we mark 50 years of Opus Art Supplies and honor our inspiring founder, David van Berckel (DvB). What started in 1974 as a small picture framing business has grown into a trusted creative hub for artists across Canada. Driven by a love for innovation, craftsmanship, and community, David has shaped Opus into more than just a store—it’s a place where artists come to find high-quality materials and support for their creative journeys.

In this heartfelt tribute, DvB reflects on his 50-year journey, sharing the values and connections that have kept Opus thriving. From our humble beginnings to becoming a vital part of the Canadian art scene, David's philosophy that small is beautiful continues to guide us. Here's to the next 50 years of creativity and community!
