The Non-Traditional Newsstands Project

The project’s accessible and engaging format fits the museum audience perfectly from all age ranges, encouraging meaningful connections with local art and writing. What I especially appreciate is seeing museum attendees sitting down and reading these works at the end of their gallery visits—this shows how the project deepens visitor engagement.

Coordinator of Indigenous Programming and Community EngagementMuseum of Vancouver

As a multidisciplinary organization, this opportunity was a great way to share more literary arts and local publications with our arts-savvy audience. It’s also great that we can support this project and local creators with very little effort on our end, thanks to their organized and friendly team.

It is refreshing to have a local program that supports the tangible world of print media. As we enter our 17th year of publishing authentic stories with original photography, these initiatives help reach engaged audiences and build community in Vancouver.

MONTECRISTO Magazine

As a small literary journal with limited staff, we don’t always have the time and resources to expand our distribution and engage directly with consumers, and so we appreciate this project’s efforts to spotlight us along with other BC magazines. [T]he project’s staff have made it easy by being so helpful and supportive.

Krista Eide,

Managing EditorEVENT Magazine

We have found working with the Non-traditional Newsstands project to be an easy and effective way of reaching new audiences, and have seen a slow but steady increase in new subscribers during this initiative. The administrators go out of their way to make it easy for us to participate.
