Brand story Nothing should get in the way of making art. It should be fun. It should be freeing. And it should come naturally to everyone. That’s what Mont Marte is all about. We want to make art easier to create. We want to encourage everyone to follow their imagination. To make whatever takes their fancy. And to simply have a great time expressing themselves. And while our business is to supply the tools, we also supply plenty of encouragement, and a heap of inspiration – so that everyone feels empowered to create. How we started Aussie-established, Mont Marte was founded by Bob, Carol, and Cheyne Kent in Brisbane, Queensland. Starting small by selling canvases, the brand soon grew to offer more than 2,000 art tools and products to creators across the globe! Enabling and empowering people to explore their creativity is what we do, and we’re always looking for new ways to inspire. We’re here to make creating feel possible, no matter your skills, experience, or style. Get curious and create!
