Reading the latest issue of IAM (AI generated)
The Spring 2025 edition proudly marks the start of Island Arts Magazine’s 18th year in production and the release of our 73rd issue.
As an interactive digital publication, we remain dedicated to enlightening, entertaining, teaching, promoting, and showcasing the arts in diverse forms.
IAM celebrates artistic talent by promoting events, featuring inspiring artists, and engaging readers with timely, thought-provoking editorials reflecting the vibrant art world.
In our early years, Island Arts Magazine primarily spotlighted the talented artists of Vancouver Island. With our digital platform, we’ve expanded our reach to highlight art and artists from coast to coast, sharing Canada’s rich creative landscape with a broader audience.
We’re thrilled to continue serving the arts community as we embark on another exciting year of creativity, connection, and inspiration.
