Sharing ... at a Safe Distance
It's been quiet here in some ways - and definitely not in others! Whilst we have all been minimizing our in-person contact with friends and colleagues (well ok, with EVERYONE!) for the last few weeks, there's been a flurry of activity behind the scenes regarding advocacy and support initiatives of various sorts. It's been confusing at times, and much has happened very quickly - so it's been challenging to keep up and understand what is relevant to my profession as an independent visual artist, and to the sector as a whole.
Happily, CARFAC Alberta and CARFAC National have been doing a fantastic job of compiling and distilling information as it becomes available, and advocating for appropriate support for our sector. I have never been more grateful for the work these organizations do to support artists and advocate on their behalf. As a board member in both, I continue to offer my time and effort to help them help all of us.

If you want to chat about what's available, what you are facing, and what CARFAC is doing, I'll be part of an online session on MAY 2, from 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm MDT
