Editorial Mandate
Canadian Art Forecast aims to provide accessible art coverage that lowers the barriers to art. This takes the form of essays, reviews, interviews, and discussions that are clear, unintimidating, and compelling to a wide audience. The subjects are inclusive of the wide range of voices that make up the Canadian art world. Canadian Art Forecast aims to highlight artists and organizations that are often overlooked. Posts are curious, direct, and well-informed.
Inclusive: covering a wide range of mediums, practices, and people—Canadian Art Forecast provides a 360-degree view of the art world. This includes a focus on BIPOC artists and organizations, along with people working outside the traditional confines of the art market, including craft-based arts.
Collaborative: Canadian Art Forecast aims to create a community where everyone’s voice is heard, by taking into account what subscribers want to read and are curious about. This includes encouraging comments, feedback, and discussion posts, as well as allowing reader submissions.
Curious: not every post offers the answers to the questions it asks. Instead, essays are roving, experimental, and seeking. In evaluating issues that are prevalent in the art world Canadian Art Forecast often seeks out experts in the field for input.
Honest: the independent nature of the platform allows Canadian Art Forecast to be honest in its criticism and writing—providing a mirror to the Canadian art world and advocating for a better art ecosystem.
