Wolfgang Tillmans, Naudline Pierre and POP Japan headline debut issue, with new stories dropping every week
TORONTO — Today, the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) launched Foyer, a refreshed digital magazine dedicated to telling compelling stories about art and artists from Toronto and beyond. The new website, ReadFoyer.com, builds on the AGO’s previous e-publication with a new look, feel, and user experience. Published by the AGO, the digital magazine goes behind the scenes at the museum and beyond its walls to highlight art, culture and artists working across Canada and the globe. Foyer embodies the AGO’s mission to lead global conversations from Toronto by showcasing great art and by reflecting the people who live here.
The name Foyer reflects stories that are entry points into art for readers. Inclusivity and curiosity drive the magazine’s editorial content. Readers can expect storytelling that includes:
- Feature-length stories exploring topics in art from Canada and beyond
- Photo essays and slideshows of contemporary and notable artwork
- Interviews and profiles of the creatives shaping art and culture
- Perspectives on art and culture from creatives, curators and community
- Behind the scenes details about AGO exhibitions, and programming
