Founded in 2013, the Canadian Online Art Book Project is a growing digital library of books–all original works commissioned by the Art Canada Institute–by the country’s leading art experts on artists who have made a critical contribution to the evolution of the nation’s art history. Each year the ACI releases new titles in this program: upcoming books will feature the artists Hannah Maynard, George Reid, Yousuf Karsh, Denyse Thomasos, and Christopher Pratt. We have also published a limited number of titles as print editions. See the hardcover books available here.
