CPAMO Ottawa Network Terms of Reference (June 27, 2016)
Following years of meetings and forums to discuss issues and model activities to promote pluralism in the arts in Ottawa, local artists and groups collaborating with Cultural Pluralism in the Arts Movement Ontario (CPAMO) began to form a local Network of CPAMO in 2016.
CPAMO Ottawa Network aims to increase awareness of the presence and importance of pluralism in the arts for Indigenous and diverse artists, arts organizations, communities and audiences in the National Capital Region, and to provide a forum for sharing information and growing partnerships to support this. Members of the Network believe that the arts are enriching, inspiring and play a catalytic role in the creative, emotional and intellectual lives of our shared communities. We further believe that joint efforts will increase opportunities for bringing meaningful and engaging arts experiences to all communities in this region, with a particular focus on engaging Indigenous, racialized and new immigrant artists and communities.
Currently, the Network is co-chaired by Audrey Churgin of MASC and Victoria Steele of AOE Arts Council and commencing in Fall 2017 will be supported by Alicia Borisonik as part-time coordinator working on a one-year project to build the Network with support from the Ontario Arts Council.
