Founded in 2003, Daylight Magazine is the biannual printed publication of Daylight Community Arts Foundation (DCAF), a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the use of photography as a tool for effecting social change. By reimagining the documentary mode through collaboration with established and emerging artists, scholars and journalists, Daylight Magazine has become one of the premier showcases for contemporary photography. Recently DCAF launched Fundacion Imaginer (www.fundacionimaginer.org) based in Panama City, Panama which is dedicated to promoting contemporary art and photography from Latin America.

In addition to publishing Daylight Magazine, DCAF seeks to help underrepresented communities share their stories by distributing cameras, establishing darkroom and digital imaging facilities, administering photographic workshops, and curating local and traveling exhibitions. Ultimately, DCAF’s goal is to provide these communities with access to the resources and equipment necessary to participate in the global visual dialogue.

We invite interested individuals to initiate and manage self-representative photography projects using Daylight Community Arts Foundation as an umbrella to apply for funding. By working with photographers all over the world we have built a network of successful satellite projects. Join us!

Through our features, interviews with artists who have the potential to or already are important in shaping the history of, contemporary Indian art, especially trying to focus on new directions.  We try to focus on art that seek to operate to operative from the edge or from the margins. However we fully understand the mainstream media’s need to engage with mainstream market practices, fully celebrating the potential of the mainstream, we try to negotiate the ephemeral space between the dynamics of the ‘emergent’, ‘dominant’, and the ‘residual’ forces within contemporary artistic practices. 

In addition to the extensive reviews section covering exhibitions held in all major centers in India, www.mattersofart.net keeps you updated with regular features on new-age Art, Art investment and legal issues pertaining to Art. It is the first with news and views
