Society for Art Publications : The Society for Art Publications grew out of an informal governing board which had been set up, in 1944, to oversee the transformation of the arts bulletin Maritime Art into the magazine Canadian Art. A desire to expand both the bulletin's readership and coverage led to numerous editorial changes. It was initially aided by the infusion of financial support from the Carnegie Corporation. In 1952, the magazine's auditors recommended the establishment of a more responsible board, charged with overseeing the publication. The newly-formed, non-profit Society for Art Publications was officially granted a national charter in March 1953. Original members were Robert Ayre, Frederick Cleveland Morgan, Jean Chauvin, Donald Buchanan and Harry Orr McCurry; original directors were Buchanan, McCurry and Ayre.

As the original charter states, S.A.P.'s aim was "to promote public appreciation of the fine arts and design in Canada by the printing and distribution of publications on fine arts and design." Its main responsibility was the publication of Canadian Art.

Canadian Art, titled artscanada after 1967, was published continuously from 1943 to 1982 and underwent a number of stylistic changes from the time of its inception. The more conservative format of the magazine was greatly enlivened by the art direction of Paul Arthur who took on that position in 1958. The 1960 appointment of editor Alan Jarvis, former Director of the National Gallery of Canada, further strengthened editorial content. By the 100th issue, in January 1966, a more international field was covered. Barry Lord took over the position of editor in 1967. Under the new banner of artscanada, an unsuccessful experimental format was introduced, consisting of loose-leaf materials, vinyl recordings and a tabloid paper. The appointment of Anne Trueblood Brodzky as editor later that same year saw the return to a more traditional format and a thematic approach to each issue.

Of particular note was the double-size Dec. 1973/Jan. 1974 issue, entitled "Stones, bones and skin", which covered native arts and traditions and was later published in a hard-cover edition. Other issues focussed on such themes as modes of representational art, photography, video, architecture and the Canadian cultural revolution. Photographer Eberhard Otto contributed much to the visual content of the lushly-designed magazine. Brodzky retained her position until the magazine discontinued publication in 1982.

Throughout its 40-year history, Canadian Art/artscanada came to rely more and more on government funding, through the agencies of the Canada Council and Ontario Arts Council. The high production costs, concomitant with the rich lay-out of the magazine, were never aligned with its news-stand price. Artscanada staff tried to eradicate its growing deficit through the organization of two "art draws", in 1978 and 1980. Ticket-buyers were offered the chance of winning an original work, donated by such artists as Ivan Eyre, Jack Shadbolt, William Ronald, Ernest Lindner, David Gilhooly and Ron Bloore.

These fund-raising efforts fell far short of financial requirements. During the 1970s, criticism was increasingly directed towards the editorial staff by its readership, government officials and some S.A.P. Board members. Many felt that the magazine failed to cover effectively the Canadian arts scene, especially in light of heavy government subsidizations. Artists such as John Boyle and Greg Curnoe were irate over its frequent use of American critics. The magazine was accused of ignoring regional arenas in favour of international ones. Finally, in 1982, both government agencies refused any further grants without critical changes in both format and content. Unable to appease government officers, artscanada published its last issue, entitled "Contingencies", in November 1982.

Note générale :

Material received in 1982, 1983 from Anne Brodzky of Toronto, Ont. Sound recordings in accession 1971-0021 were transferred in 1971 from the Public Archives of Canada Library.

Note sur le classement :

The organization of the textual material reflects, for the most part, Canadian Art/artscanada's various filing systems. The series General Correspondence - Alphabetical was a filing system used by the magazine during the period 1977-1981; consequently, the General Correspondence Series contains little material from these years. Subject files date predominantly from the same time period. Unorganized material was added to both the General Correspondence and the Issue Files, as deemed appropriate. The original arrangement of the papers has been maintained as much as possible. Changes in the magazine's office procedures resulted in a certain degree of overlap from one series to another. Consequently, researchers should consult all likely series for material on any particular subject, artist or scholar.
