history

The magazine was founded in January 2009 by Angel Chen and Leah Pires, who met while working together as editors at The McGill Daily. Their shared interest in art and design combined with the need for a venue dedicated to publishing McGill student art motivated them to start the initiative.

Folio is curated by a rotating panel of McGill students. Before review, the submissions are made anonymous to promote fairness. About a dozen artists are published in each issue and each contributor is given between two and four pages for their work.

The magazine is coordinated by a nonhierarchical staff of McGill undergraduate students. New contributors and members are always welcome.

Folio is graciously supported by the McGill's Dean of Arts Development Fund, the Fine Arts Council of the McGill Arts Undergraduate Society, and the Students' Society of McGill University.
