In these times, staying connected and informed becomes MORE important than ever.

The Artis magazine’s founder, editor-in-chief, and art director Ivy Reiss with Global News’ The Morning Show’s host Minna Rhea on how The Artis is changing the 905 and GTA art scene since 2017, and championing the arts for the the Baby Boomer generation.
—February 28, 2020
The Artis Magazine has been here for you since 2017. Now we need your help. We know artistic form impacts every facet of life every day in so many ways. But artists are often lesser known entities in the grand scheme of things and they need venues to give them a platform.
The Artis Magazine works hard to bridge the gap between artists in the background to exposed artists. Good intention can only buy so much time on the world stage. We are at a difficult junction in our effort and need your support to continue to provide artists with a platform from which to seen and heard. We have put together some exceptional package deals in conjunction with a PATREON membership that we honestly believe is a win-win scenario for all involved.
Please visit our Patreon page to enjoy one of our win-win opportunities and support 905 and GTA artists.
Order past issues here or find The Artis magazine in Indigo Spirit in Oakville, ON, and other bookstores and libraries.
Preview past issues of The Artis in the Archives tab up above. See Artis 3 here
The GTA is the most diverse and vibrant art scene in Canada.
This is because ALL of us—many of us volunteers—keep the art scene going. We give our time, our art, and our passion to this. This is purely and truly a ‘labour of love.’ We know the value of words and images.
Check out our Events Page right here.
The Artis Events page showcases over 100 Lit Events, with lit-erally at least one event every night of the week in GTA.
Art is our cultural voice.
Without art, a culture’s voice is silenced.
The Artis exists because of you. And the incredible art scene that IS the 905 and the GTA exists because of the dedicated people that make up our culturally unique and diverse voice.
Join us and become a part of this amazing ART scene.
