History
Bruce McGaw Graphics was founded in 1978 in a one-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn Heights, NY. The McGaw distribution group, known now as McGaw Graphics Inc. in the United States and King & McGaw in the U.K. and Europe, have long been world leaders in the fine art poster industry.
Between us, the McGaw Graphics companies publish the work of over 750 artists (many of whom are from museum collections), distribute a vast collection of art including images from many other publishers and there are now over 20,000 active reseller customers worldwide.
Milestones in the growth of the Bruce McGaw Graphics companies and the McGaw Graphics brand:
- Formed King & McGaw, Ltd., UK, 1989
- Opened Bruce McGaw Graphics Canada, Ltd., 1989
- Combined with Images Import-King & McGaw, Paris, France, 1992
- Acquired Poster Originals, Ltd. acquired, 1996
- Established Pinnacle Art Press - the company's own in-house printing facility, 1997
- Appointed King & McGaw Netherlands and agent in Germany, 1998
- Established exclusive distribution in Spain, Portugal and Sweden, 1998
- Signed exclusive partnerships in Argentina, Brazil, South Africa, and Australia, 1998 - 2000
- Added the Grand Image Collection, 1999
- Appointed Worldwide producer and distributor of Disney fine art posters and prints, 2001
One of our greatest strengths in the marketplace has always been the creation and introduction of new images each year that address approaching trends. Developing artwork for these trends requires multi-area research that includes studying the colors, textures and styles seen in fashion, home décor and giftware, attending color seminars and trade shows, and speaking with our customers. Artwork is then selected that best reflects the essence of these latest decorating trends.
In recent years, there have been many changes within the industry in general and the McGaw Graphics companies in particular. As a result, Bruce McGaw Graphics Canada is now independent and the only company still proudly carrying the name of our founder, Bruce McGaw. The collection of ART prints and other related and finished products that all three companies offer to the now varied resellers in each distinct market, still fully reflect the legacy and the vision he started.

Submit Artwork
If you are a photographer, artist, or gallery representing an artist with artwork that you think would translate well into posters or prints, apparel or stationary, then we encourage you to submit your work to us for consideration.
We strongly recommend that any artist or gallery who has work of a fine art or decorative nature, appropriate for wall decor or licensing, allow us to review their work. Let us evaluate it for our market and for the other industries we supply.
For fine art poster and print publishing, we generally work with our artists on an exclusive basis.
A royalty is paid quarterly based on the selling price of the poster.
To submit work, please follow this procedure:
- E-mail digital files or mail photographic prints of your work (please do not send originals unless requested).
- Include a self-addressed, postage-paid envelope for any materials you wish returned.
- Digital files should be low-resolution j-pegs (no more than ten images) to: info@bmcgaw.ca
- Allow 4 weeks for a response. If your work is not accepted, please remember that we choose work for publication and licensing based on current market trends, and that our opinion only pertains to our market segment, not to the aesthetic value of your work.
