a magazine
of listening.
Canada has stories to tell, and CANARTA is here to listen. We are a national magazine of arts portrait journalism — six issues a year, eighty pages each, printed on art paper. We do not review art. We sit with artists, and we write down what they say.
Each portrait is built in three parts: The Person, The Work, The Process. A life, a piece of art, an atelier. We are looking for artists whose work has not yet been seen the way it deserves to be — across every form, in every province, of every age.
You deserve a story and a stage.

CANARTA's editorial team chooses each issue's portraits independently — but the Artist Portal is open to every working Canadian artist who would like to be part of the network. Six artists are featured each issue. Many more are present, year-round, in the portal.
Whether or not your story appears in print, your work is held in the network. The portal opens alongside issue 01.
