About

Wallack’s has been serving the Ottawa community since 1939; when Samuel Wallack
went into business for himself, selling photographic supplies, picture framing
and some artist’s materials.

In the mid-1950’s, Wallack’s expanded from
the original narrow shop on Bank street into the empty store next to his to
offer more selection of art and hobby supplies as well as more display space for
original art.

His son John Wallack, who joined his parents business in
1963, now heads the business.

Since 1977, John Wallack has moved the
existing art material business to the present location at 231 Bank Street which
was originally a grocery store and expanded the fine art gallery to it’s own
location at 203 Bank Street.

Today, Wallack’s is eastern Ontario’s
largest retailer of artist materials with four locations in the Ottawa area, one
in Kingston and two in the Gatineau region.

For over 60 years, Wallack’s
has been committed to supplying creative people with quality products at
competitive prices.

Wallack’s reputation is built on offering a wide
selection of brand name artist materials, service by friendly knowledgeable
staff and quick and efficient delivery across Canada.
