Depending on where in Brampton you live, there's two options: one of the oldest locations of the chain is near the Mississauga/Etobicoke border, at The Queensway East at Cawthra, a newer location is in Oakville, near to Sheridan College. Other retail locations are in Toronto (Yonge at College, Queen St W at Portland, Dundas St W at McCaul), Markham, Whitby, Hamilton, and Barrie. (Curry's formerly had a Brampton location, which was shut down on 10 April 2004; it was replaced by location in Montreal.)

DeSerres: The Artist's Marketplace (formerly Loomis Art Store and Loomis and Toles)
Your other main option is DeSerres. First opened in our area as Loomis and Toles a decade or two back, they had a location in northern Mississauga for a few years. That location has closed, sadly, so you're left with two main options. There is a DeSerres store on the Mississauga/Oakville border, and one in the Vaughan Mills mall.

 

Where else?
There's independent stores in Toronto, but primarily in the downtown. Best choices include Woolfitt's and Aboveground Art.

Michael's Arts and Craft
More of a craft store than one for artists, Michael's is the closest to most Bramptonians. Their prices can be higher in many cases, than either of the two main art supply chains. If you're wanting to shop their, consider waiting until their bi-weekly flyer comes out in The Brampton Guardian; most of the time, it includes a 40% or 50% off coupon, which brings the prices down to much more reasonable levels.
