I was curious if anyone knows how to get prints or canvases available to sell/purchase in places like Ikea, Bed, Bath & Beyond, etc?

All big stores have a distribution center where they buy from different vendors and put the products on the shelf. You're usually the one doing all the packaging to their specs and supplying a finished product they can basically just throw a price tag on. So you either go to them with a vendor submission and products to sell them or you find one of their print vendors and try to sell them the usage rights. Most images you see in stores come from agencies.
