This is the mega Omer, the mother Omer, the Berri Omer located on the same corner where the…read moreoriginal Omer Deserres existed in 1908 back when it was a hardware store. Dedicated to supplying artists, advertising agencies, local art schools and DIY crafters since 1950 and with branches across Canada you can find fairly much everything you might need to get creative in this creativity complex. In my experience, it's great to chat with the staff here about what you're working on or looking for. The organization is a bit complex because they have so much stuff, so it's helpful to have one of the wise young art students leading you around, plus: adorable. The vibe in here is clean, bright and modern, not at all the inspiring sense of dripping with history and the labours of love as you find in true old school places like Pearl Paint in NYC, but it gets the job done in style. Some items suffer from the usual Montreal markup, but they make up for it by having in-house brands for things like sketchbooks that are really cheap.

The staff here are extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the stationery and writing utensils they sell. The selection of items like notebooks, pencils, pens, ink, binders - and at a reasonable price. They'll likely have whatever you're looking for. The store is a little small, but everything feels naturally laid out and not crammed by any means. If you are in Montreal and happen to be an artist or writer - this is a must stop shop for any supplies you have on your mental wishlist.

Zone Orange is a charming art gallery (galerie d'art) and cafe on a side street off of Old…read moreMontreal. It isn't terribly large, but it's clean, colorful, with a ton of random art on display and for sale. I had a conversation with friendly Dominic Morin, the manager/owner (he's listed as "le directeur" on his business card - I'm unsure how that directly translates). I told him I was sad there wasn't any food[1] for purchase, only coffee, and he noted my complaint (now they actually have SORBET in addition to their espresso). He also pointed out a few pieces to me, and mentioned his sister was an artist here; I also checked out these animal plushies (amusing cat and octopus ones) sitting on a huge IKEA shelf. Much of the random art there was graspable stuff - tres cool. Zone Orange is worth a visit.

I love the range of yarns in this store, with the focus on natural or blended fibres with few (if any?) pure acrylics and a good number of locally spun or dyed yarns. They also regularly have good sales on high-quality yarn available. Their COVID measures have been great, with only a small number of people allowed in at a time, hand sanitizer available and masks on, and on top of it they have maintained great customer service for both face to face and phone orders.

They carry Tanis Fiber Arts, Hedgehog fibers, Julie Asselin, Quince, Woolfolk, Madeline Tosh, Rowan and Manos Del Uruguay just to name a few! Great color selection, but I'd like to see a bit more current Madeline tosh. The staff is friendly and will help you with all your needs. They also have a lot of sample knits on display - which are all contemporary and well knit.
