This series of videos is being designed as a mediation tool for ARC administrators seeking corporate sponsorships, for example, or simply in promoting their services to students, emerging artists, curators, educators. An emphasis upon service (i.e., as opposed to programming) may seem less than dreamy to our ears, but it is intrinsic to the emergence of artist-run centres, which came into existence thanks to the impulses of artists who organized themselves to acquire exhibition and networking spaces, and production gear and facilities.<\/p>\n<p>ARCA needs your help to source video documentation and archival footage that highlight some of the services offered at your centres: support for creation (residencies, artist workshops, production workshops), dissemination (formal or informal exhibition spaces, or in public space), mediation (visits, interviews, talks or workshops with the artists), and democratic life (meetings of committees, assemblies, retreats, parties, and special member activities). We will do our utmost to tell a plausible story that represents your centre and the artists you serve, without being a fully precise portrait (how could we, given that there are some 180 artist-run centres?).<\/p>\n<p>As you may recall, in October 2018, ARCA was awarded financial assistance in the amount of $143,534, over three years, from the Strategic Initiatives component of the Canada Cultural Investment Fund. The funds are intended to develop the capacity, on the part of ARCA and its membership of small arts organizations, to better account for public investment to funders, beneficiaries, donors, sponsors, and other stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p>If you have materials that you would like to share for this project, please contact Benjamin J.

For this third installment, we\u2019ll take a closer look at open data. The concept is gaining ground within government and academic circles as new demands are being made in terms of transparency (see<a href=\"https:\/\/open.canada.ca\/en\/open-data\">\u00a0Government of Canada Open Data<\/a>\u00a0portal) and accessibility to publicly funded research results.

A first brainstorming meeting, held in Ottawa on February 4, allowed us to take stock of the evolution of shared issues since the VAA\u2019s founding in 2007. Among these, concerns related to funding and the continuing precarity of artists and cultural workers were pressing; to these must be added steps that aim to promote equity and reconciliation with First Nations, M\u00e9tis, and Inuit peoples, and which address the international recognition of artists and the impact of digital culture on our sector.<\/p>\n<p>The Alliance is not a formal organization or institution, but operates as a stakeholder network of associations representing the interests of the visual arts milieu.<\/p>\n<p><strong>_____<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>INVISIBLES: Action for Better Representation of Contemporary Artists in the Media<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Deploring the lack of coverage of contemporary art in the\u00a0media, artist Christian Messier has set out on a campaign to highlight underrepresented Quebec artists.

Closer to home, the framework can guide artists and organizations in understanding and articulating the impact of their work on building support for artistic practices, and in assessing, the gains being made by artists domestically and abroad. Questions to explore include the effects of funding on programming, on long-term planning, and on leveraging other funding sources and partnerships; centres may wish to reflect on the impact of project funding versus multi-year funding upon employment conditions, while ARCA and others will consider the impact of the new funding criteria on its operations. The report\u2019s authors insist that the framework will not be used as an instrument for assessing the work of the artists and organizations the Council funds, and will not influence the decisions of peer assessment committees.<\/p>\n<p>Read the full report\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/canadacouncil.ca\/research\/research-library\/2019\/12\/qualitative-impact-framework\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>NEWS FROM THE MEMBERSHIP<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Catherine Bodmer appointed RCAAQ Deputy Director<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Board of Directors and the Executive Director of the RCAAQ are pleased to announce the appointment of Catherine Bodmer as Deputy Director.

After many changes in the organization over the past few years and recent board departures, this meeting answered an urgent need for board members in order to fulfill ARCCO\u2019s services and secure funding into the future. The meeting was very much seen as a moment of renewal for the organization, with the support of many long-time members as well as support from the provincial and identity-based artist-run associations members of ARCA. The new board of directors consists of representatives from artist-run centres from many parts of the province.
