Housing 16 professional artists within four studios and teaching 60 classes a week, Doug and Donna Swinton's shop, Swinton’s Art, is a full-service art store and studio that has been serving Calgary artists since 1994. “Doug is an artist, and after we had our first baby, we started tossing around the idea of opening an art studio,” Donna says. “A lot of his friends wanted to teach and Doug wanted to be able to create art and make a living at the same time.”
Doug had been working for another art supply store when he and Donna started talking about opening their own place. “We were going to buy the store I worked in,” he says. “But after approaching the bank and receiving their approval of our business plan, the owner decided not to sell.”
That would have been the end had the bank not encouraged Doug and Donna to open their own store. “Really, everyone and the bank was telling us we should do it,” Doug says. “I think Donna and I were the only ones who didn’t believe in us initially.”
