Publications

The Owens’ publishing program has been active since the 1960s and is Mount Allison University’s only imprint. In-depth monographs, exhibition catalogues, Occasional Papers, and other special publishing projects extend research and foster engagements with ideas arising from our exhibitions, programs, and collection.

Publications can be purchased at the gallery, or by contacting us. Free downloadable PDF versions are available for many recent publications.
