More about Matriart

Adapted from the Foreward in Matriart Vol. 1, No. 1 – Spring 1990

MATRIART is a Canadian feminist art magazine published by the Women’s Art Resource Centre (WARC). It presents women artists with an opportunity to examine issues of concern and to share opinions and information relating to the production of women’s culture. The periodical consists of feature articles, reviews of exhibitions, profiles of artists listed in WARC’s Artist Slide Registry, reviews of books housed in WARC’s Documentation Facility, a news section listing current events, and a letters page. Each edition is organized around a specific theme of interest.

In 1984, WARC started to document Canadian women’s art work and to provide educational and support programs for women artists. WAR’s philosophical direction is an outgrowth of our current mandate to develop a resource centre for Canadian women artists, representative of women from different regions, classes, races, sexual orientations, ages, and the differently-abled.
