Projects: Carte Blanche, Vol. 2 - Painting

In the footsteps of The Magenta Foundation's successful Carte Blanche Vol. 1: Photography, we are happy to announce the second volume in this collection -- Carte Blanche Vol. 2: Painting.

Why a resource book of Canadian painters?

The main purpose of this book is to provide a survey and showcase of the current state of painting in Canada. A book of this nature will bring the recognition for Canadian painters that is long overdue.

The results are in!

The final list of selected painters has been released — click here to view it.

Please accept our apology for the delay in making this announcement. Jurors had a difficult task choosing from among the best painters in Canada. Selecting the final group of artists was very difficult and the several months it has taken to arrive at the final 190 painters did not come without a tremendous amount of debate.

On behalf of everyone at Magenta, thank you to all the artists who submitted in the Carte Blanche Vol.2: Painting project. The book will be published in Autumn 2008 and will be available through book sellers across Canada and around the world. Details on the exhibition to accompany the book will be posted once they become available.
