One thing I 💜 about Be Creative art supplies is that

We don’t just stock products, we listen to our community.

You asked, we ordered! 🎨

Face & Body Paint kits are now in the store, and I already want one to paint with my son. 😄

👇 What should we bring in next?

We’d love your suggestions!

At Be Creative Art Supplies, we believe that every thriving creative community starts by supporting the artists who make it special.

We’re excited to welcome the beautiful original prints of local Vancouver Island artist David Walker to our store. David creates stunning artwork inspired by the landscapes, towns, and places that make this island so unique. We were even lucky enough to have him creating his latest piece right here at Be Creative!

When you purchase local art, you’re not just decorating your home, you’re encouraging an artist to keep creating and helping our creative community grow.

Come visit us on 1925 Bowen Road, Nanaimo and discover David’s collection, meet inspiring local artists, and become part of a growing community that celebrates creativity and supports the people behind it.

Thank you for supporting local artists. Together, we can help creativity flourish. 🎨❤️

Just pick your favorite colors, connect them with the signature ring, and you’ve got a custom marker that’s compact, travel-friendly, and uniquely yours. The ink is incredibly rich and vibrant, we’ve been using them ourselves, and we’re having a blast with them! ✨
