Founded in 2021, Bootlegger Magazine was created to allocate a space for Montreal’s up-and-coming artists to showcase their work without restrictions. Intending to uplift the creative youth beyond the limits of traditional art institutions, it serves as a tangible anthology of underground talent. 

Bootlegger's curation is eclectic, playful, and explorative. It highlights a dynamic range of styles and media, focusing on talented individuals who are often overlooked by traditional publications. From painting to nail art, textiles, tattoos, all the way to graphic design and ceramics, Bootlegger is a labor of love centered around inclusivity and celebration. Archiving the current artistic zeitgeist, it immortalizes the work of promising young talent outside of the confines of the digital world.
