The Magenta Foundation

As a Canadian arts pioneer, the Magenta Foundation is a trailblazing charitable arts-publishing house that consistently showcases the work of talented artists—drawing specific attention to under-represented and emerging artists—with powerful exhibitions and a roster of impressive international publications.

Our unique arts programs, for emerging and underserved artists, allows us to foster future talent across Canada. Creating this empowerment allows young adults to elevate their talents and abilities for a future in the arts as cultural producers within and beyond their communities. By focusing on the early output of future practitioners, Magenta is uniquely committed to cultivating the next generation of artists and industry professionals through hands on leadership that will potentially inform a lifelong practice.

Magenta continues to evolve by creating new and innovative ways to connect artists globally through digital technologies as well as expanding its publishing department to bring the most notable artists forward. At Magenta, giving back to our communities in meaningful ways is a source of pride for us. We believe it is critical to showcase and promote the wealth of artistic talent and to encourage an appreciation of the arts among all Canadians.

Magenta’s sole focus since its inception for the past 20 years has been a focus on underserved communities and artists and to be a leader in inclusivity and diversity. Our record for this remains unparalleled.
