Who we are

*Note: We conveniently ship from Charlotte, North Carolina, USA.

We are creators, storytellers, and visual rebels. At Canary, our mission is to craft art that resonates — art that dares to feel, speak, and stand for something greater.

The phrase “canary in the coal mine” evokes an image of a small bird serving as an early warning system—bravely alerting miners to invisible dangers before catastrophe strikes. Philosophically, the canary represents those who speak up, stand out, and act as a messenger of awakening for others. Just as the canary once risked its life to save the lives of miners, today’s activists, artists, and citizens act as “canaries” in our social and political ecosystems—raising alarms when freedom, equality, and justice are under threat. (Link to the Smithsonian Magazine: “What happened to the canary in the coal mine?…”)

We believe in the power of expression to illuminate truth, challenge the status quo, and champion the voices too often unheard. Our work is rooted in a deep commitment to justice, equality, and the rights of all people.

To turn that belief into action, we proudly donate 20% of our profits to the ACLU, supporting their tireless efforts to defend civil liberties across the United States.

We’re not just making art — we’re making a statement.
