5. Stretched (gallery wrap) canvas vs Rolled canvas

Stretched (gallery wrapped) canvas is one where the canvas material is stretched onto stretcher bars (wooden frame) usually between 1.25-1.75 inches deep (mine are 1.5 inches deep). This modern display gives an extra dimension to the artwork as it wraps around the sides of the canvas and can be hung without the need for a frame. Although, if you desire there are framing options available for a gallery wrapped canvas, they will usually be called a floating frame and will not use any glass to cover the artwork.

Unfortunately, I am only shipping stretched (gallery wrapped) canvas to Canada and the continental US at this time. If you desire a gallery wrapped canvas and you do not live in Canada or USA you can order a rolled canvas print and have it hand stretched by a framer in your home city/town.

Rolled canvas is canvas that has not been stretched onto a frame, it will arrive rolled up ready to be stretched or framed. You will need to find some one locally to stretch the canvas onto a frame if you would like it to be stretched, or alternatively it can be framed with or without glass.

For my customers living outside of Canada and the continental US this is my only option for printing on canvas.

To find a canvas stretching service locally a quick google search with the search terms “canvas stretching near me” should yield some fruitful results.
