Fillip is a Vancouver-based contemporary art publishing organization formed in 2004.[1] It publishes a magazine as well as books of critical writing. The magazine with the same name was started in 2005.[1][2] The publisher of the magazine is the Projectile Publishing Society, a Canadian non-profit.[2]

In 2008, it opened an office on the border between Gastown and the Downtown Eastside from which it hosts month events including artist talks, publication launches, and screenings.[1][3]

Fillip builds on Vancouver's tradition of critical art publishing such as the pre-magazine era Vanguard (1972–78), Boo (1994–98), and Last Call (2001–02) by stimulating conversations about contemporary art through critical writing, projects, and events.
