Triple Canopy

Core programs digital publishing: tc accomplishes its mission through the publication of an online magazine of visual art and literature, including interactive essays,screen-based artworks, fiction, poetry, prose, and critical dialogues, as well as documentation of public programs and performances. An issue of tc contains 10-15 projects commissioned from artists and writers and is accessible for free via the online platform at canopycanopycanopy.com. Print publishing: the magazine occasionally publishes print publications that make arresting use of the book form.these print objects include multivocal paperbacks which stem from and extend our public programs, as well as single-author works that adapt contributions to the magazine or emerge from specific collaborations with contributors. Public programs: as part of each issue, tc also organizes at least five public programs that are considered to be part of the magazine, including performances, panels, readings, and screenings. Tc's public programs are documented through audio or video and published online in the magazine as videos, audio recordings, and transcripts. Events are often livestreamed. As with digital projects, public program documentation is made accessible to viewers for free at canopycanopycanopy.com. Education: tc has held eight sessions of the publication intensive: a free, annual, two-week summer program in the history and contemporary practice of publication, for twelve higher-level college students, graduate students, and recent college graduates. Each year we invite applications from prospective students with backgrounds in areas such as writing, art, literature, art history, new media, and design. During the program, tc editors lead discussions and workshops with participating students,who research analyze, and develop projects, that hinge on new technologies but also mine the history of print culture and artistic practice. The program takes place at tc's venue and includes visits to studios of artists and designers, archives, and cultural institutions. (due to the pandemic, this program was temporarily suspended in fy21.)
