We've launched a print shop to celebrate local photographers

You read that right: We launched a print shop for framed prints by local artists.

As a locally-focused cultural magazine, we're working with the people who help enrich our city's identity by showing us just how beautiful it is.

Shopping here is shopping local: Support locals, keep cash in the community, connect with artists in your city, and put some amazing artwork on your walls, or the walls of someone you love. Every purchase also helps to support our editorial content moving forward.

Yes, the print shop's arriving just in time for decking halls and giving gifts this season (and there's free delivery during the holidays), but the print shop will live on after the holidays. Keep up to date on our drops through our Instagram.

@SAVCOLLECTIVE (ANNA SAVIOLAKIS)

Anna Saviolakis is a dynamic photographer hailing from Montréal.

@PETERDCURRIE (PETER CURRIE)

Peter Currie (b. 1991) is a photographer based in Montreal, Quebec. Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography at Concordia University, his work focuses on the built environment and the transformations taking place within the urban landscape. Using a slow and deliberate process, these transformations are documented periodically over time, attempting to create a visual narrative of the evolving urban landscape, at a slower pace. His work has been featured in print and online in such publications as Weird Era Vol. 2, the Humble Arts Foundations, Fiiiirst, and Subjectively Objectives group show, presented by Obscura Land.

@FRED.TOUGAS (FRED TOUGAS)

Fred Tougas is a photographer based in Montréal who views his practice as a way to channel his internal state through the external world. His sensorial and reactive approach is a tool to preserve his sensibility and cultivate his sense of wonder. Tougas does not see photography as a means to remember or document but rather as a method to enhance his daily experience. He believes that this enhancement comes through contemplation, with photography serving as a catalyst for entering a more acute state of mind. Tougas desires for others to glean from his work the value of slowing down and taking the time to fully engage with their surroundings. By actively looking, listening, feeling, and reflecting, he asserts that any situation can become significantly more interesting.

@SAFESOLVENT (MARTIN REISCH)

Martin Reisch is a Canadian photographer and filmmaker. There’s an old saying about a picture being worth a thousand words, so hopefully the images and films he creates can speak for themselves.

@THIBWH (THIBAULT)

Raised in the vibrant Caribbean, Thibault moved to Montreal in 2016 for his studies. Upon arrival, he was immediately captivated by the city's downtown architecture, inspiring him to pick up a camera and delve into urban exploration. His photographic journey, initially focused on the cityscapes, took a significant turn during the pandemic. Thibault shifted his style, moving from a four-year focus on urban landscapes to a more photojournalistic approach, capturing the essence of street life. Now, his goal is to portray the grit and beauty of Montreal, particularly the spirit of the 514 area, through his unique photographic lens.
