Today, the Board of Directors announced the difficult decision to cease operations of Canadian Art after 37 years, due to its financial position and revenue loss directly resulting from the COVID pandemic.
Canadian Art had been operating at a reduced capacity for the past seven months, pausing both the summer issue and online publishing to deal with unprecedented financial circumstances.
After thoroughly exhausting all options to allow Canadian Art to survive, the Board began the process of pursuing a wind-up that would best maintain the organization’s charitable status, protect the stewardship of its cultural assets for the future, and maximize recoveries to stakeholders such as employees, landlords, trade creditors.
The pandemic has disproportionately affected arts and culture institutions and organizations across Canada and we know that this will leave a hole in the Canadian arts landscape. To preserve the archives of Canadian Art, one pristine copy of all CA magazines will be donated to the AGO with the aim to eventually provide digital public access for future generations.
We once again express our deep appreciation to every supporter, writer, artist, curator, donor, funder, and member of our creative community. It is because of you that Canadian Art became a beloved and essential hub for critically engaged writing and discourse on the art and culture of our time.
Sincerely,
Board of Canadian Art Foundation

“If Gambletron had to be situated in a creative landscape, they might land somewhere between Rita McKeough and Throbbing Gristle…. Their dedication to failure and improvisation is nearly radical in a field that values perfection as success and so often rewards bland, uncomplicated contributions.”

A center piece for the Festival is the BC Hydro Dal Grauer Substation Public Artwork. This year Jordan Bennett a Mi’kmaq artist was commissioned to create new site-specific work curated by Kate Henderson. Inspiration for the work al’taqiaq: it spirals comes from a photograph of a Mi’kmaq porcupine quill basket created by his ancestors, an artifact currently held in the collection of the Museum of Vancouver.
Drawing on the colours, patterns, and history of this basket, he arrived at the final work for the Dal Grauer Substation Public Art Project: a photographic work featuring a brightly painted moose skull that was gifted to the artist by a family friend who harvested the moose in Bennett’s home community. Bennett took the skull’s patterns directly from the ancestral designs found on the porcupine basket and then photographed the painted skull on Mi’kma’ki land. Through photography, Bennett reconnects the spirit of the displaced basket back to its origin and home territory.
Bennett’s work will be on view at the BC Hydro Dal Grauer Substation in Downtown Vancouver from April 2, 2021 until March 1, 2022.
An Artist Edition of Bennett’s work can be purchased through
The Dal Grauer public art installation is made possible due to the partnership of BC Hydro.
