Can someone recommend stores located in downtown Vancouver or periphery that sell posters or art prints? How about frame shops/galleries that sell posters/prints?

And are there any such shops that carry a larger assortment of architecture/urban products?

Thanks :tup:

Personally I have no idea, sorry, but I wouldn't mind finding out myself.

I believe there's a print/framing store on the S/W corner of Robson and Richards (maybe it's Seymour) called Time Frame.

Those look like companies that do printing, not stores that sell prints.

Most of them are unrelated, but some are. It's probably quicker to sift through them online?


What about map stores?

Try Oscar's Art Books (http://www.bookmanager.com/1181300/)--in Kerrisdale and on W. Broadway and Granville. They carry a lot of architecture books and calendars.

there used to be a Map store across from that print store on robson - but i think its a salad place now unless the map place is next door...

you could try chintz & co - somethimes they have stuff in the art section and there is a place on seymour just a few doors south of staples - a little interior design place - maybe they have something - it looks tied into an firm next door

there is a great shop in gastown in that building where the two roads meet - across from the gassy jack statue - i think its called kim prints? its got a good selection of stuff

Travel Robson from bute to Richards and you should find something. If that doesn't pan out too much, try granville from robson to pacific ave. Call me to discuss.

Kim Prints in Gastown! It is in the flatiron building (Hotel Europa?) across from the statue of Gassy Jack. I swear by them and recommend you check them out for both framing and art prints.
