Thirty years! Who would have predicted this kind of longevity for Canadian Art back in 1984, when it launched with a winsome photo of Winnipeg painter Wanda Koop on the cover of the first issue? The magazine had picked a hard niche to fill: a coffee-table magazine with top-notch production values that would bridge the widest range of art being made across Canada.

To celebrate our 30th anniversary, we’ve pulled together a collection of our covers to tell the story in images—and the designs of art directors Ken Rodmell, Georges Haroutiun, James Ireland, John Ormsby and Barbara Solowan. The covers are also on our website, canadianart.ca, where you will find online access to the
