Canvas Culture's story is unique in the sense that it came to be by pure coincidence. While traveling through the Amazon jungles, Joey, discovered and fell in love with the Shipibo culture, the people and their art.
It was through this experience that inspired Joey to create a platform that would help support artists, regardless of circumstances, create income from their art by connecting their designs online to the mainstream masses.
Upon returning home from the jungle, Joey attended a friend’s mastermind event in Las Vegas, NV. It was here he bumped into his friend and colleague Joshua Tatum. Joshua, a successful entrepreneur at the time owned and operated an advertising agency specializing in Facebook and Instagram advertising.
Unbeknownst to Joey at the time Joshua had just completed taking an online art brand from doing 4 figures in monthly sales revenue to the high six figures in just under 60 days. It was through this experience that opened up Joshua’s eyes to what was missing in the online art world, a vehicle that connects artists and their designs to the mainstream public.
These co-founders soon discovered, ironically, that they both had intentions to create a platform that would help support artists. All the artists have to do is design! Then, Joshua & Joey would simply handle everything they loved doing, marketing, advertising, manufacturing, shipping, and even customer service! Almost 30 days exactly from that day in Las Vegas, Canvas Cultures was launched!
Thanks to our amazing customers and incredible Canvas Tribe Members we have been able to support artists by bringing their designs into the home or offices of thousands of people.
In November 2021, OpenStore acquired Canvas Cultures to continue to connect more people to artists around the world and continue the mission of Joey and Joshua.
