The Roots of Culture, the Power of Art
The Canada Council for the Arts is the country’s largest provider of grants for artists and arts organizations, benefiting not only writers, visual artists, performers, and musicians but Canadian culture as a whole. In The Roots of Culture, the Power of Art Monica Gattinger outlines the history of the Canada Council, the impetus for its foundation, and the ongoing debate about its goals and impact. Tracing the Council’s gradual shift from focusing on artistic supply and building the roots of Canadian arts and culture in its early years to its expanded focus on the power of the arts in society over time, Gattinger describes how leaders have navigated core tensions inherent in the Councilâ...

Les fondements de la culture, le pouvoir de l'art
Le Conseil des arts du Canada est le plus important organisme subventionnaire au pays pour les artistes et les organismes artistiques. Ce sont non seulement les écrivains, les praticiens des arts visuels, les interprètes et les musiciens qui en bénéficient, mais aussi l’ensemble de la culture au Canada.

Hand to Ground
(Constance) Stanzie Tooth's thesis exhibition titled, Hand to Ground, explores ideas of origin; both the mythology of a personal origin as well as the origins of painting and representation. Interrogating the history of landscape painting, the exhibition skews notions of identity by reconsidering representations of the landscape. Inspired by Margaret Atwood's novel Surfacing, and paired with reminiscences of her childhood in rural Ontario, Tooth's paintings unfold oblique narratives of a communion with land. These questions of personal ecology are filtered through an intense material expression, reinforcing the idea of coming into being. The exhibition was on view at the Karsh Masson Gallery in Ottawa from August 1st to September 10th, 2015.

Mozart's Blood
Award winning author Louise Marley's compelling, intricately layered story of a beautiful soprano who shares an everlasting bond with the world's most notorious musical genius. . . Mozart's Blood Octavia Voss is an ethereal singer whose poise and talent belie her young age. In truth, she is a centuries-old vampire who once "shared the tooth" with Mozart himself. To protect her secret, Octavia's even more ancient friend Ugo stalks the streets to find the elixir that feeds his muse's soul. With Mozart's musical prowess coursing through her veins, the ageless Octavia reinvents herself with each new generation. But just as she prepares to take the stage at La Scala, Ugo inexplicably disappears, leaving Octavia alone--and dangerously unprotected. . . Octavia vows to find Ugo, but his fate is in the hands of forces much darker than she could ever imagine. And when she learns the truth behind his disappearance, Octavia realizes too late that the life hanging most in the balance is her own. . . "Riveting, original. . .filled with the emotional power and intricate twists and turns of a Mozart opera." --Tracy Grant, author of Beneath a Silent Moon
Abstract Painting in Canada
In the tradition of the distinguished Douglas & McIntyre art program, this lavishly illustrated and superbly printed book is a rich, readable history of abstract painting in Canada.

Two decades later the Automatistes-Canada's first truly independent avant-garde art movement-burst onto the scene in Montreal. After the Second World War, the urge to abstraction spread across Canada, manifesting itself in significant regional movements. Vancouver painters retained a British flavour, while in Toronto, the Painters ...
