We are Canada, we are open. As a country we're pretty hard to sum up. And not just because we're really, really big, but because we're home to so many different people with so many different stories. From the Indigenous Peoples who have stewarded this land for millennia to the newcomers we welcome every day, Canada is home to countless different backgrounds, cultures, identities, traditions and languages. From our wide open spaces, to welcoming visitors with open hearts, to open minds that embrace new ideas and perspectives, our openness permeates everything we do. We open our hearts to all who come with an open mind, to those who want deeper, more meaningful travel experiences.
In Canada, we see tourism as a way to connect with one another. With nature. With ourselves. Because when we're at our most open, we're at our best.

The Gagosian Shop, which offers an extensive selection of publications and limited editions, opened in New York in 2009 and expanded to London in 2022. Since 2012, an innovative magazine on the gallery’s artists has been published four times per year, which was rebranded as the Gagosian Quarterly in 2017.
