The Acadia group met December 12\u201313 in Moncton, the Ontario group will convene in Ottawa\u00a0 January 30\u201331, and the Western group will meet in Winnipeg on February 27\u201328, 2020. In Moncton, a dozen delegates from New Brunswick and Nova Scotia representing seven AGAVF members brought the organization up to date on their advocacy work at the federal level, and on their outreach initiatives, namely at the international level via the inclusion of the visual arts in the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Strat\u00e9gie de promotion des artistes acadiens sur la sc\u00e8ne internationale <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">initiative<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (SPAASI, or &#8220;support for Acadian artists in international markets&#8221;). The meeting coincided with the end of the Volet Arts M\u00e9diatiques program of the Festival international francophone du cin\u00e9ma en Acadie (FICFA), which included a closing event at Galerie Sans Nom in Moncton for the Collectif HAT exhibition, and a visit to the city\u2019s newest gallery, Murmur, which hosted the AGAVF meeting.<\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"#top\">return to top<\/a><\/p>\n<h4 id=\"arcco\"><strong>ARCCO (Artist Run Centres and Collectives of Ontario)<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ARCCO held its Special Members\u2019 Meeting on November 25, 2019, to consult with the membership and initiate a reorganization process. After consulting with local funders and with arts advocacy groups nationwide, the remaining board members set out several courses of action for our membership\u2019s consideration and discussion last November. At the meeting, at Gallery 1313 in Toronto, we consulted with several member organizations to understand their needs and how we might proceed. In some ways, ARCCO\u2019s recent \u201chiatus\u201d may be seen as an opportunity for member organizations to create a radically different kind of representative body. An interim board was ratified at the meeting and purposed with organizing an annual general meeting and electing a new board. The interim board will also be responsible for reorganizing ARCCO and updating our mandate to reflect the realities of artists\u2019 lives in the 2020s.<\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"#top\">return to top<\/a><\/p>\n<h4 id=\"parca\"><strong>PARCA (Plains Artist-Run Centres Association)<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">PARCA held its annual face-to-face meeting at Neutral Ground, in Regina, early last December. Our previous meeting was focused on extending membership across Saskatchewan, and we were pleased to welcome three new members: Saskatchewan Filmpool Cooperative, the Art Gallery of Regina, and Swamp Fest. PARCA also welcomed new associate member Barbara Meneley, who is researching artist initiatives across the province as a post-doctoral fellow with the Saskatchewan Arts Alliance. Barbara is seeking to establish outreach to artist-led initiatives outside of Regina and Saskatoon (where most PARCA members are currently based). PARCA also discussed organizational priorities, considering our available resources and ARCA\u2019s regional development support. The Association agreed unanimously on two priorities: to create a web presence for PARCA, and to participate in a regional anti-oppression training for members. Committees were struck to take action on these goals, with a check-in at our next meeting set for early March. We also discussed the national gathering in Alberta in August. Considering our geographic proximity, attendance seemed feasible for various members, and we look forward to it. We are excited to recognize the renewed energy at PARCA, and look forward to our organization\u2019s next steps.<\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"#top\">return to top<\/a><\/p>\n<h4 id=\"rcaaq\"><strong>RCAAQ (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.rcaaq.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Le Regroupement des centres d&#8217;artistes autog\u00e9r\u00e9s du Qu\u00e9bec<\/a>)<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A plan for possible alignment or even integration of the RCAAQ with the Conseil Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois des arts m\u00e9diatiques (CQAM) and the Regroupement des arts interdisciplinaires du Qu\u00e9bec (RAIQ), which was initiated a few years ago, is entering a new phase of development.
