Yvette Moore Gallery

What Yvette Moore Gallery does

Yvette Moore Gallery is a privately held Canadian art gallery and retail business founded by Canadian Prairie artist Yvette Moore, headquartered in a historic building at 76 Fairford St. W. in downtown Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. The gallery showcases Yvette Moore's original artwork, giclée reproductions, and limited edition prints — depicting rural Saskatchewan architecture, heritage scenes, and prairie life in a realistic style — alongside handcrafted goods from over 40 artisans across Western Canada working in clay, fabric, glassworks, jewelry, wood, metal, and stone. The product portfolio extends to branded merchandise such as children's books (including 'A Prairie Alphabet', which has sold over 400,000 copies), art ornaments, framed cards, pillows, and scarves.

The business operates three integrated revenue streams: (1) physical gallery and café retail at the Moose Jaw location (gallery open Mon-Sat 11 AM – 4 PM; The Gallery Café open 11 AM – 3 PM); (2) e-commerce through yvettemoore.com featuring the full product catalog; and (3) remote sales via virtual shopping appointments and Matterport 3D virtual tours. Ancillary revenue includes a never-expiring gift certificate program, customized corporate gifting for businesses, and handcrafted recognition awards supplied to institutions such as Saskatchewan Polytechnic and the Moose Jaw & District Chamber of Commerce (the latter under a 20-year consecutive MJBEX Awards sponsorship). Pricing is unit-based across product categories with no disclosed subscription or recurring model.

The technology stack is limited to standard e-commerce, content management, and Matterport 3D scanning — no proprietary systems, AI/ML capabilities, or integrations were identified. The company is independently owned by its founder, with no disclosed venture capital, private equity, or institutional backing, and no M&A, funding, or leadership changes on record. Customer concentration sits between a long tail of individual consumers (art collectors, tourists, families, gift buyers) and a small number of recurring institutional B2B accounts.

Broad incumbents

• Etsy: Global online marketplace for handmade artisan goods, including original art, prints, jewelry, ceramics, and crafts. Comparable as a multi-artisan marketplace channel, though vastly larger scale and digital-first rather than physical-gallery-led.
• National Gallery of Canada: Canada's premier national art museum in Ottawa with extensive retail shop and exhibition programming. Comparable as a Canadian art retail and exhibition destination, though operating at much larger institutional scale.
• Vancouver Art Gallery: Major Western Canadian art museum in Vancouver with a gallery shop. Operates in the same Western Canadian art space as Yvette Moore Gallery but as a large metropolitan institution with much broader programming.
• Art Gallery of Ontario: Major Canadian art museum in Toronto with extensive gift shop and curated exhibitions. Overlaps as a broad art retail and exhibition destination, but on a metropolitan scale far larger than a regional gallery.
• Saatchi Art: Leading online art gallery featuring original paintings, limited-edition prints, and photography from artists worldwide. Comparable as a curated art retail channel competing for online buyers of original and reproduced artwork.

Direct peers

• Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies: Western Canadian art and heritage museum in Banff, Alberta featuring Canadian Rockies art, archives, and a museum shop. Comparable in combining regional art curation, gift shop, and Western Canadian heritage positioning aimed at both collectors and tourists.
• Gallery Arcturus: Toronto-based Canadian art gallery specializing in historical and contemporary Canadian artists, with online retail and curated collection. Similar curated Canadian art retail model with print and original artwork sales.
• Koyman Galleries: Canadian art gallery with locations in Ottawa and Gatineau, specializing in Canadian landscape and wildlife art. Similar retail-focused commercial gallery model serving collectors of original Canadian paintings and limited-edition prints.
• McMichael Canadian Art Collection: Canadian art gallery and heritage institution in Kleinburg, Ontario dedicated to Canadian artists (notably the Group of Seven), with an on-site retail shop selling art-inspired merchandise. Closely comparable as a commercial Canadian art gallery combining curated exhibitions with branded art-product retail.

Emerging players

• Meow Wolf: Emerging immersive art experience company with permanent interactive art exhibitions and on-site retail/dining in multiple US cities. Adjacent as an experiential art destination with merchandise, though focused on immersive digital/physical installations rather than traditional fine art.
