Chanel is set to publish the second volume of its ARTS & CULTURE magazine on October 23, 2026. This latest edition, released through the Chanel Culture Fund, consists of 300 pages and will be distributed at independent bookstores, including the 7L bookstore in Paris.
Why it matters
The release continues the brand's efforts in cultural advocacy, building on the foundation established by the CHANEL Culture Fund launched in 2021. It follows the successful release of the magazine's inaugural volume in summer 2025.
The free magazine spans 300 pages, following the summer 2026 launch of the 115-page Coco magazine. The Chanel Culture Fund, which manages these projects, was originally established in 2021.

By transitioning from traditional advertising to institutional cultural curation, brands are redefining their presence as patrons of contemporary arts.
