What is Pica Magazine?
Pica is a student magazine that celebrates the vitality of the artistic community at UQAM, encourages interdisciplinary collaborations and aims to democratize the arts. Its objective is to promote the development of local talent while establishing international contact through its annual publication and launch party.

By favoring an innovative and experimental approach, the magazine aims above all to be a reference tool and a source of inspiration in terms of multidisciplinary design. It stands out from other publications offered by completely new and exclusive content. Pica’s primary mission is to promote the talent and quality of work of UQAM students alongside young Montreal and international students, artists and designers, while providing the School design of a visual communication tool focused on design and its related disciplines. The choice of projects integrated into the magazine as well as those exhibited at the launch are made with a concern to fairly represent the work of women and men, students and the variety of mediums used.
