Artistic Photo Canvas is unique among online labs in that we specialize exclusively in the art form that is canvas printing. While many labs do a nice job with traditional prints, customers continually tell us that when it comes to canvas, none they've ever tried comes close to APC. Founded in 2005 by individuals with one prevailing trait in common – perfectionism – our boutique lab has become renowned throughout North America for its superior-quality canvas prints, unparalleled customer service and comparatively low prices.
APC's customers include consumers, "prosumers" and hobbyists... professional photographers, fine artists and graphic designers... small and large businesses, institutions, non-profits, and even departments of the United States government. We deliver the same remarkable level of quality and care to everyone. Our philosophy boils down to this: no matter what level of service is required for a particular customer or job, every canvas print that leaves our lab will be stunning. Period.
100% of APC's human and financial resources are focused on the medium of canvas, allowing us to continuously develop and refine technologies, materials and expertise that ultimately result in every Artistic Photo Canvas print becoming a masterpiece. And because every order is overseen by gifted technicians from start to finish, our attention to detail is unmatched.
Unlike the overwhelming majority of web-based and local labs offering "photo on canvas" or "fine art reproduction" services, APC has always printed exclusively on environmentally friendly, OBA-free cotton canvas. By leaving the optical brightener additives and fluorescent whitening agents out of our premium inkjet canvas, not only do we reduce the amount of harmful chemical agents polluting our planet, we also ensure that your canvas prints will not be susceptible to unsightly yellowing over time. (Please see our FAQ page for more details of the archival properties of our genuine giclee canvas reproductions.)
Once you experience the personalized customer service and vastly superior quality of Artistic Photo Canvas – like the customers whose comments you'll see below – you will trust no other canvas printer with your photos and original art!

I wanted to let you know that my canvas arrived today, and it is absolutely beautiful. My husband and I could not get the box open fast enough -- we were dying of anticipation to see it. As I mentioned in my previous email, I purchased this canvas as a Christmas gift for my mother-in-law, but now I'm going to find it very difficult to part with it, even though I know that it will surely bring tears to her eyes. Thank you so much for the beautiful work, and I look forward to doing business with you again!

I received the photo canvas today, it is absolutely fantastic. I am giving this as a gift and I know the recipient will be floored! I will definitely be sending some more photos to you in the near future. Thank you so much for the beautiful product, the excellent communication and speedy delivery. I could not be more pleased. Happy Holidays !

I called Artistic Photo Canvas and presented an interesting challenge. I had a photo that meant a lot to someone who meant a lot to me, but unfortunately it was a very poor quality photo. I think your representative picked up almost immediately how desperate I was to make this photo work and he suggested I send it to him and let him play with it and work on some different options. Lew eventually came back and suggested he apply the Pop Art technique ever so slightly and believed that would make a difference. I'm not sure what happened behind the scenes after that, but somehow you all managed to take a 24kb digital photo and turn it into something amazing. I couldn't be happier about the way this gift turned out and am sincerely grateful for all of the help Lew gave to me. He really made me feel that getting this gift to be perfect was important to him as well, and I find that a truly rare quality. Thank you to everyone at Artistic Photo Canvas, especially Lew.

I wanted to let you know that I received my canvases last night. What more can I say than that "They are faaaaabuluous.” I brought them into work today to share with my co-workers and you might find some orders coming your way as they were all very impressed. And you definitely will get more of my work. Thanks again for your wonderful service.

I was so happy and thrilled to receive my custom canvas! The delivery was lightning fast and seeing my artwork come to life in a masterpiece like that was exciting beyond words! I still have yet to surprise my husband with it and when I do I'm sure you'll be hearing from us again real soon. It was such a pleasure doing business with you! A Million Thanks again.

I took these photographs as some fun art for my kids bedrooms. I was really happy with how vibrant and clear the colors came out. The customer service was also excellent and I will use [Artistic Photo Canvas] again.

I got the canvas and it was beautiful! I used my gift certificate to have a photo of my best friend riding her horse put on canvas as a birthday present. I gave it to her early, because I could not wait! She and her family just fell in love with it and she has shown it to all her friends. It just looked so life like. Ordering was very easy to do and the customer service went above and beyond. Julie and I were extremely happy with the outcome. I also have a couple of other friends that want to order some canvases. Thank you for doing such a great job!!!

Hi! I just received the photo canvas, and wanted to THANK YOU for the wonderful help you offered during all of this. I am very pleased with the results. I purchased this for my boyfriend, and I know he is going to love it. I really appreciate your customer service and am so thankful you were there to work through this with me. I think I now know what I'm getting everyone for Christmas, too! Thanks again!

I was given this project by our new owner/CEO – his goal was to help morale by getting some great shots up around the office of the things we'd been a part of. I was SO pleased with the attention I received from Lew and his attention to detail and demand for excellence. We received the art last week and it just went on the walls today. We are EXTREMELY pleased. Everyone is walking around pointing out details and talking about "remember when" and "this is awesome!" We’ve already gotten multiple comments on how great they look. Plus our owner/CEO is very pleased as well. You guys hit a home run and we will definitely be ordering more from you in the future!

This creation is being placed in my bedroom. My boyfriend sent me an e-mail that I just fell in love with. Now instead of signing on to my internet account to read his thoughts, I only need to look at the wall in my room to be reminded of what a special man I have... Thank you for giving me that. It turned out beautifully!

Thank you for the unsolicited refund on my shipping cost. I was surprised by your e-mail! Most companies would not refund shipping charges no matter what. I was already satisfied with the quality of work you provided, but now I have even more reason to brag about your company. I will tell everyone I know that [Artistic Photo Canvas] is the place to go for canvas pictures. Your work is great, your shipping was prompt, and your customer service is awesome. Thank you so much. I am a very satisfied customer.

Hi there. I have my canvas! Thank you, thank you. It's great. I’m excited to get it up on the wall and once I do I think I'll have some tall narrow ones made for the sides.
I was very happy with the service and results. Thanks again.

As a photographer, I have always enjoyed the challenge of creating and delivering something that transcends a photograph and enters the realm of art. Combining my photography and digital manipulation with your excellent work on canvas has allowed me to do just that. The rather haunting image of my wife that you so beautifully displayed on framed canvas now graces a prominent place in our home. I have no doubt that my clients will be equally thrilled with their results.

The canvas you did for us was a mother's day present for our mother - she absolutely loved it! It's hanging on a wall in their study with other family pictures, but none so special as this one of her daughters & our families!

I just returned home from a west coast business trip. The portrait was waiting. It looks fantastic. My wife was very happy with the quality of the image and artistic background. You did a great job! I really appreciated the Thank You note as well. This level of service is not typical of a purchase over the web – I really feel that I got that old time service treatment that has become a thing of the past for the most part. I'd be happy to tell all my clients the story about the image (and Artistic Photo Canvas) when they are sure to ask. Thanks again, for the guidance through the process, and the great art work.

I got the canvas for my boyfriend for his birthday. I used a picture of his bike (his other girlfriend) that he took. I didn’t tell him that I took the picture from his computer so it was a complete surprise. The canvas came out beautiful!! He hung it up right away on his bedroom wall. I also really appreciated the hand written thank you card. Most business' do not have this good of customer service anymore. I really enjoyed doing business with [Artistic Photo Canvas], and if I ever need anything of this sort again I will definitely come to you.

The canvas looks FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it!!!!!!!!!!! When I look at that canvas it has such a peaceful quality to it. You did such a great job printing it and putting it on the frame. I can't say enough. I am so pleased. The printing was exactly what we were looking for. You all have made a process that has been difficult for us in the past much simpler. Lew’s help has been superior and he has been incredibly helpful to us. We look forward to a fantastic working relationship. I know the canvas is going to be a hit. I am so excited. Thanks for everything.

Dear Sir: I received my canvas and am very pleased. I have yet to have it framed, but the canvas is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much.

My canvas was made from a picture taken on the Island of St. Kitts. The sea on the left side is the Mediterranean. The body of water on the right side is the Atlantic ocean. I was thrilled with the results I got from [Artistic Photo Canvas]. The actual finished canvas was perfect – better than I dreamed it would be. It looks beautiful in my living room! The service was stellar! I uploaded my photo on a Sunday night. One hour after my upload, I got a phone call from Lew who had some questions about how I wanted the canvas done. On a Sunday evening! He was very polite, helpful, and enthusiastic. Five days later, an awesome piece of art was hanging in my living room. I will certainly be doing more business with you, as the pricing is also very competitive. Thank you very much for treating my work as if it was yours!

The canvas was a surprise gift for my daughter to celebrate her first ear piercing with her friends. She loved the canvas and now has a great memento of that special day.

I heard the commercial for [Artistic Photo Canvas] on WCLZ a couple weeks before Valentine's Day and knew that would be the perfect gift for my wife but wasn't sure if it would be ready in time. I went to the site and picked out my canvas, uploaded my picture and it was that easy. I was amazed when I received an email from [Artistic Photo Canvas] letting me know that they had a design idea for my canvas (which I loved) instead of just proceeding with the picture in it's original form. My canvas showed up the day before Valentine's Day and my wife loved it. Lew and Jennifer were awesome throughout the entire process. I have already recommended [Artistic Photo Canvas] to all my friends! Thanks again for a great gift!

I recently ordered a custom canvas from your company. I am building a new house and I wanted a special piece to hang over the fireplace in my living room. I have always loved the photo that I sent to your company, but the years had faded the image and I was not sure that the colors could be brought back to their original brilliance. Your staff called me and verified all of my special instructions and assured me that they would take special care to restore my image. I absolutely love my finished canvas! It is beautifully done and will hang as a cherished focal point in my new home. Thank You!

I am very impressed with the end result of my picture. The colors and detail came out very bright and clear as in the original. Everyone that has seen it tells me that it looks like a real painting.

My mother-in-law has used Frank Morton (portrait painter) out of Waterville for a long time and many $$ for family photos. My mother in law has preferred painted family portraits more so than myself or my wife. I saw your ad and it sparked my interest. In summary: My wife, mother-in-law, and I absolutely loved the photo of our girls. I preferred the 'look' of your HandBrushed canvas over a painted portrait. My wife took it to be framed last week to protect it. We will definitely use you again very soon and thank you very much.

I love my Canvas! I was so anxious to see my family photo enlarged on canvas, I ordered Express shipping. When it arrived and my husband saw it, he was in awe. (He is usually very nonchalant!) Thank you, it is beautiful.

A lady by the name of Jennifer was extremely helpful and made me feel comfortable with her suggestions. It appeared that my emailed picture was too small for the technique I had chosen and she suggested something else stating that I would not be disappointed and that it would look beautiful in the end. I loved that she informed me immediately after I sent in my order and she kept the communication going until we reached a final decision. I was amazed at the work when I received my canvas. It is more than beautiful, it is amazing! Thank you.
Monica T.

The photo sent to [Artistic Photo Canvas] was one of my favorite pictures ever, taken on one of the best vacations ever! I cannot express how excited I was to see the beautiful finished product! I requested the HandBrushed technique, which transformed my digital picture into a true work of art. Once framed and hung, I have had endless compliments on what my friends first think is a painting, then discover is a photograph and they are astounded! I HIGHLY recommend [Artistic Photo Canvas] to ALL visitors to the website, and can say after doing much research, I made the CORRECT decision to have [Artistic Photo Canvas] complete my order!

[Artistic Photo Canvas] exceeded my expectations. This canvas was the most brilliant thing that ever occurred to me. I gave it to my husband for Christmas and he was so thrilled that he immediately hung it in the middle of our living room. He said to me, “I will never forget this present and how loved it made me feel.” People come to our house and cannot believe such beauty and elegance. And when I show them the original photo, they ask me “Who painted that oil canvas for us,” and “where can they find an artist that would do that for them.” I really impressed my husband and all our friends and family with this canvas and its perfection. The artists and customer service at [Artistic Photo Canvas] helped with kindness 24/7 and were always attentive to my ideas and concerns. They answered all my questions and helped me choose the best technique and details according to my needs and budget. I fell in love with [Artistic Photo Canvas], the service, the people, the products and I will recommend anyone, that wants to see a big smile on someone they love, to grab their best picture and start their order right away!! Thank you,

I was stunned at the quality of the workmanship and enlarged photo. I was not sure the picture would look like what I envisioned, and it didn't …it looked even better. Truthfully, [Artistic Photo Canvas] exceeded my expectations and your caring and efficient customer service (something hard to convey over the internet) made me feel like a special customer. Thanks again.

I had no idea what to get my wife for Christmas, until a coworker showed me the canvas you did for him. I was blown away! I knew I had to get one done, but Christmas was only 5 days away. I got online, uploaded the photo, and ordered. Not only did I get it in time for Christmas, but you even waived the cost to ship it. My wife cried as she held it up for everyone to see Christmas morning. Hands down the best present either one of us got this year. P.S. My new daughter is expected in March, so get the canvas ready!

First I would like to say that Jennifer was excellent to talk to about the canvas and what I wanted. She offered wonderful suggestions on getting the look I wanted with the limitations the photo presented. She was friendly, courteous, and very helpful. Thanks so much for the beautiful job, Jennifer! My parents loved the canvas. They hung it above their fireplace and have received dozens of compliments on the work you guys did. Everyone has been impressed. I looked at dozens of custom canvas companies on the internet but NONE really stood by their work like you guys did. That won me over initially, and your amazing work has sealed the deal. I have several other photos and projects I want blown up onto a canvas, and I will trust only you with the task. Thank you for making this a great Christmas for my family! Most sincerely,

Jennifer was the nicest! She got back to me fast and did a wonderful job. She also wrote me the sweetest thank you note. I must say I was wonderfully impressed by her workmanship, her professionalism, and her response. I give her a 10++! I purchased this as a gift for my boyfriend. He is in the military and won't be home until March, so he hasn't seen it, but I know he will love it! At first I had seen that Sharper Image would transfer a photo to canvas for $80 and I thought it was a good idea. Then I came across your website, and found that for not much more I could have it touched up and hand painted! I am so glad, and will always sing your praises! Thank you so, so much for the wonderful experience and product!

Mine was a Christmas gift for my honey - of our dog who just passed away. My 16 year old Rottie/Shephard who was the light of my life & best friend. She is now my angel that watches over me, in my bedroom. I wake up to see her beautiful smile, fat & sassy self in the midst of a snow storm - her favorite place to sit for hours if I let her. Thanks so much for capturing one of the most cherished memories I have of her, so perfectly.

I've been meaning to drop you a note to say a huge thank you for the canvas - Anna absolutely loved it (and so do I). It's a great photo, and you've really brought it to life! It's now got pride of place in our lounge! Thanks very much,

The interpretations of life which leap from the studio of [Artistic Photo Canvas] combine a stunning level of realism with a peaceful, dreamlike quality not unlike the soft lighting and focus utilized in the finest portrait photography. They can at once be mistaken for a fine oil painting and an artfully executed photograph, smoothly morphing from one to the other as the eye scans the canvas and the viewing angle changes with a step left or right. The image of our 14-year-old cockatiel elicited a "She looks so sleepy!" from the delighted recipient... and, indeed, near-sleep was her state when the source photograph was taken; the image immediately identifiable not just as a particular species, but as our own representative of that species, complete with her own personality and expression. The oversized bird rendition, as if a cockatiel from Jurassic Park, now hangs proudly, and will be a remembrance of a beloved family member for many years to come.

I received the canvas of our two children from my husband for Christmas. I was very surprised! What a very special and unique gift! The picture the canvas was made from was one from our annual Fourth of July trip to Boothbay Harbor/ Camden. We have it hanging in our living room for everyone to see. Thank you,

I am really impressed with the quality of work from [Artistic Photo Canvas]. I have given them some really funky photos to work with and asked if they could do anything with them and sure enough, I get this beautiful photo that looks just like the subject I sent. One photo was of my parents dog and the personality shows through the picture so much, you can tell it is their dog and not somebody else's. I can't wait for them to see it. The people that work at [Artistic Photo Canvas] are the most kind and efficient to work with also. I have been recommending [Artistic Photo Canvas] to a lot of people.
