Yahoo Answers Go to a framer. They can make canvases for you if you need them in very large sizes. I'm not talking about a retail store. A REAL FRAMER.

Check with the museums for an art group.
Art groups may buy bulk, if not see about getting them to do a bulk order.

Personally I make my own canvases. Sometimes I buy the stretcher bars, other times I make them. Maybe find a good craftsman and have them make them for you. You could prime the canvases yourself if you buy the Gesso (about 20.00 a gallon) and a ground (about 16.00 32oz) You just have to prime and sand. Prime and sand.

You could try online ordering.. But shipping adds to the cost but you may save on the sales tax.
