Founded in 2015, The Canadian Academy in Rome is a registered not-for-profit organization and Canadian publisher based in Toronto and Montréal. Driven by a desire to represent and develop a Canadian sensibility within an established collaborative sphere, the academy was conceived in Rome, a city that has evolved as a hub for cultural exchange. The academy is therefore a flexible framework designed to nurture artists, designers, scholars, and their collaborators in a critical cultural dialogue ultimately intended for public education.
