Owned and operated by the same family since 1918, Parkers has supplied quality art materials and framing services to generations of Sydney artists including George W. Lambert, Hans Heyson, Grace Cossington-Smith and Margaret Preston. After establishing their flagship store in The Rocks, the Parkers family opened stores in Redfern and Darlinghurst at the National Art School, an ideal location given the shared history and a respect for tradition. The Darlinghurst store is open to the public and stocks a range of paints, drawing accessories, canvas, charcoal, brushes and other art tools.
