Artzi Stuff opened its doors in 2008 and transitioned to 2 Church Street in 2013, right in the heart of downtown Nanaimo. Our location is part of a vibrant, supportive community of business owners, residents, and customers. Our two exterior walls consist entirely of windows and whether we’re open or closed, you can see the contents of nearly the entire store though those big windows. Artzi Stuff only stocks work made by local, BC based artists, with most living on Vancouver Island. It’s not uncommon for an artist to pop in while someone is purchasing or contemplating their work, giving the customer an opportunity to meet the artist behind their new find. When you shop at Artzi Stuff I hope you take pride in knowing the products are made for passion, rather than big profits. Your money supports local artists, who will in turn spend their money in our community. I love helping a customer find unique piece that will enliven their home, or hunt out just the right gift for a loved one.
