Today’s Groupon gives art lovers, photography lovers, and lover lovers alike a reason to celebrate: for $69, you get a 16″x20″ gallery-wrapped canvas, including image tune-up and shipping, from 44 Wide (a $195.50 total value).

Boutique print company 44 Wide was founded by a father-and-son duo and provides top-quality, large-format prints for both pro photographers and first-time film snappers alike. Your Groupon is good for a 16″x20″ wrapped canvas, a blown-up, retouched, and fully edited photograph of your choice artfully applied to a large canvas for ease of wall hanging. The process begins by uploading a favourite photo of a photogenic french bulldog or your parole-board hearing directly to the company’s website. Canvases are all coated with a state-of-the-art protective shield, so splatters of water, chardonnay, and liquid lip gloss can simply be smudged off the portrait with a damp cloth without doing damage to the canvas.

Prints are produced with the help of top-quality equipment in 44 Wide’s sleek and sophisticated gallery, and your Groupon includes shipping of the finished canvas. Take this opportunity to cover a shamefully naked wall space with a crisp and clean customized canvas, or gift this Groupon to a couple of newlyweds still smugly flipping through their wedding book at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
