contents We classify the Artin groups that admit retractions onto all of their parabolic subgroups. Our approach relies on a detailed analysis of triangular subgroups, with a key ingredient being the classification of homomorphisms between dihedral Artin groups that map one of the standard generators to a standard generator. As a consequence, we show that whenever an Artin group admits retractions to parabolic subgroups, it also admits ordinary ones - that is, retractions that send each standard generator either to a standard generator or to the identity.
