A key mission of the Art Canada Institute is the creation of our open-access digital art library, the Canadian Online Art Book Project, which is available in English and French, free of charge. Recognizing that we live in a multi-platform world where readers seek content in different formats and there continues to be passionate support for printed books, in 2019 we created the Canadian Art Library, an imprint of ACI that publishes up to four books annually. Books available for purchase now and forthcoming titles can be ordered below, and we welcome inquiries about distribution.
