OPEN LETTER TO THE CANADA COUNCIL FOR THE ARTS

UPDATE: Read Michelle Chawla’s response to the letter.

ARCA’s mandate is to support, advocate and connect artist-run centres and collectives across the country. We support the call for transparency, sustainability and consultation from the Canada Council for the Arts. With this open letter, we hope to begin rebuilding trust. We invite everyone who agrees that the Canada Council should enter into an open conversation with artists, cultural workers, and arts organizations around these issues to sign the letter.

The letter was written by the ad hoc CACtion group.
