A print looks fine on a screen. An original changes a room.

Original art has texture, depth, and the mark of the artist's hand. Stand in front of it and you see brushstrokes catch the light, edges where colours meet, small choices no copy can repeat. That is why an original holds attention, and value, in a way a mass-produced print never does.

VanArtHub sells originals only. No prints, no reproductions. Each painting is the single piece the artist made, signed, and ready to hang in your home.

How buying works

From choosing a painting to hanging it on your wall, in three simple steps.

1

Browse and choose

Shop by budget, subject, or artist. Because every work is one of a kind, when a painting sells it is gone, so the piece you pick is truly yours.

2

Check out securely

Buy online in a few minutes. Shipping is free across Canada and the USA, so the price you see is close to the price you pay.

3

We pack and ship

We pack each painting carefully at our Vancouver gallery and ship it to your door with a signed Certificate of Authenticity.

Not sure where to start?

These are the collections buyers open first: abstract paintings, landscapes, portraits, and nature. Or explore the Vancouver-based artists we represent, like Melina Ghaemi, Marjan Mousavi, Roshan, Phaedra, and Maria.

Every painting is an original, signed by the artist, and sold with a Certificate of Authenticity.

The four ways to buy original art in Vancouver

Vancouver has one of Canada's strongest art scenes, and there is no single right way to buy from it. Here is the honest picture, including the options that are not us.

Walk the gallery districts

Commercial galleries cluster along Granville Street south of the bridge, with more downtown and in Gastown. You see work in person and talk to gallery staff. Our South Granville gallery row guide covers what to expect.

Visit artist studios on Granville Island

Granville Island is full of working studios and craft shops where you can buy directly from the person who made the piece. See our Granville Island art guide.

Rent before you buy

The Vancouver Art Gallery operates an Art Rental & Sales program that, by its own description, rents works by BC artists with an option to purchase. Renting suits offices and people who want to live with a piece before committing.

Buy online, direct from the artist

That is us. VanArtHub sells the same collection two ways: come to the gallery at 1242 Davie Street and stand in front of the work, or browse it all from home. Every piece is an original with a Certificate of Authenticity, and online orders carry a 14-day trial, so you can return it for a full refund if it is not right, with return shipping on us.

Common questions

Where can I buy original art in Vancouver?

VanArtHub is a Vancouver gallery at 1242 Davie Street in the West End, selling original paintings direct from the artist. Visit in person seven days a week, or buy online with free delivery across Canada.

How much does original art cost at VanArtHub?

Original paintings start at about $531 and go up to several thousand dollars for large or premium works. Right now 13 of the 155 originals are under $700, so there are options for a first purchase.

Do you ship across Canada?

Yes. Shipping is free across Canada and usually arrives in 3 to 7 business days. We also ship free to the United States within 5 to 10 business days.

Are the paintings really originals?

Yes. Every piece is an original, one-of-a-kind painting signed by the artist and sold with a Certificate of Authenticity. We do not sell prints or reproductions.

Can I see a painting in person before I buy?

Yes. Our gallery is at 1242 Davie Street, Vancouver, open Monday to Friday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Walk in during those hours. To check that a particular piece is on the wall, call or text (604) 401-9499 first. Plan your visit.

What is the best way to buy original art in Vancouver?

It depends on how you like to shop. To see a lot of work in one afternoon, walk the galleries on South Granville or the studios on Granville Island. To buy from home with the widest choice at every budget, order online, where the 14-day trial lets you live with the piece before you commit. You can do both with VanArtHub: the gallery is on Davie Street and the full collection is on this site.

Do you represent Vancouver artists?

Yes. Several of our artists live and work in Vancouver, including Melina Ghaemi, Marjan Mousavi, Roshan, Phaedra, and Maria, alongside other Canadian and international artists.

Is it safe to buy art online without seeing it first?

With us, yes, because the risk sits with us, not you. Every painting ships fully insured, arrives with a signed Certificate of Authenticity, and has a 14-day trial: if it does not look right on your wall, return it for a full refund and we pay the return shipping.
