The magazine was based in Toronto, Ontario[1] and covered a variety of topics on the arts, from music to painting to sculpture to dance and craft works.

Christopher Wood served as the journal's chief editor for the magazine's duration.

[2] Composer Godfrey Ridout notably served as assistant editor in 1942–1943.

Like many publications during World War II, the magazine was published irregularly due to material shortages, labour difficulties, and other war related problems.

Ultimately rising prices and continued problems with material shortages after the war forced the publication to cease in 1951.
