Our first workshop, Montreal, 1967.

OUR STORY

It started with one man.

In 1957, Dimitri Apokatanidis arrived in Canada with a camera and a trade.

A decade later, he opened a small framing shop in Montreal that would become Apollon.

As manufacturing gradually moved overseas, we chose to keep making our own artist canvases here in Quebec.

Nearly sixty years later, we're still doing exactly that.
