C Mag
Programs
C Magazine’s mandate is to advance education in contemporary visual art by providing readers with access to important issues and ideas. We present a wide variety of educational programs, including artist talks, lectures, and workshops that extend the discussions and themes explored in the magazine and in our culture. Our readers are primarily artists, art professionals such as curators, educators, and students in visual arts and culture. For many of them, C Magazine has played an important role in their studies and in the development of their careers. We strive to offer programs that enhance our readers’ learning experiences and provide opportunities for development to writers and artists.
As members of C Magazine's team, interns play a key role in promoting and encouraging critical engagement with and knowledge of contemporary art, while gaining valuable experience in the field of publishing.
C School extends our mandate to advance education in contemporary visual art and culture. C School offers free educational copies and subscriptions to educators and students. Through the program, we also welcome requests for study guides and critical writing workshops geared towards a variety of educational settings, taking C Magazine into the classroom and beyond. Activation instructions for C School subscriptions and access codes are available on this program page.
The C Writer in Residence programme gives writers engaged in art criticism the opportunity to become closely involved with C Magazine on an in-depth level, as well as a place to grow and develop their writing practice. The Writer in Residence proposes and, upon acceptance, develops an original piece of writing to be published in a forthcoming issue of the magazine or on the website.
