Vtape’s mission is to advocate for the visibility of Canadian video art, to distribute it enthusiastically and effectively, to make it available to the broadest possible audience, and to serve and support the producers of this unique art form.

Actively involved in fulfilling the needs of 1,600+ artists, Vtape makes its current distribution collection accessible to a client base of festivals, museums, galleries, educational institutions, community groups, curators, scholars, and diverse public audiences from 59 countries, making Vtape one of the largest not-for-profit video art distributors in the world.

Vtape is committed to creative inquiry and media art literacy, offering curators, festival programmers, students, and researchers unprecedented access to our unique research collection. These research materials connect our artists and their works to a substantial history representing 50 years of video art production, presentation, criticism, and discourse, locally, nationally and internationally.
