Tanji's Art Supplies Ltd has become New Zealands leading supplier of artists stretched canvases, rolls of canvas and stretcher bars. Established in June 2000 as a retailer of fine art supplies. Quickly discovering there was a lack of good quality hand crafted artists surfaces available to professional artists in New Zealand, especially for those artists looking for bespoke sizes and shapes, or wanting to work on very large canvases. Tanji's established Masterart Ltd to develop and manufacture high quality stretched canvases.
Tanji's Art Supplies remains the sole source of Masterart branded canvases and also sells stretcher bars, and smaller rolls of the same canvases we use for our own in-house production.
