The Magenta Foundation is a charitable art publishing house based in Toronto. It was established in 2004 by MaryAnn Camilleri to publish work from both domestic and international emerging artists through exhibitions and publications. In 2005 the foundation produced its first book, Carte Blanche Vol.1: Photography, with the proceeds supporting the promotion and publication of work by artists between the ages of 13 and 25. Magenta publications and exhibitions are circulated in Canada and abroad, and the foundation brings international contemporary art to Canadian audiences.
In its 17 years, the foundation has created new arts programming in Canada to help change the visual arts community. Through festivals, competitions, pop-up exhibits, and programming, the foundation has undergone many iterations since it started as a publishing house in 2004.
