About | Momus

Momus is an independent platform for art writing and criticism. Our headquarters are in Montreal with staff, contributors, and collaborators based internationally. Our activities encompass publishing, Momus: The Podcast, and programs including Residencies, Fellowships, Talks, and events. We center a multivocal approach to art and writing. We privilege historically decentralized perspectives.

New features and reviews are published on our website weekly. Our editors value the exhibition review as a form, while also encouraging writers to experiment with style, structure, and voice. Since launching in 2014, Momus has published more than one thousand texts, authored by both emerging and celebrated writers. Momus prioritizes paying writers and editors promptly and well.

Momus works with the conviction that a better infrastructure for supporting and elevating art writers is one we need to make for ourselves. We have developed valued partnerships with other industry leaders, collaborating to build an ecosystem for art discourse that is responsive and flourishing.

As an organization headquartered in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal/Montréal—on unceded Kanien’kehà:ka territory and a longstanding gathering place for many Indigenous nations—we are mindful of the responsibilities that come with producing cultural work on this land.

Momus is committed to the Palestinian Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI), in line with our 2021 commitment to the Palestinian-led call for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS).
