Completing the Survey in Support of the Formation of Canada’s First-Ever
National Network of Legal Clinics for the Arts

In an effort to develop an essential national network of federally funded legal services for artists across Canada, we are conducting an important Needs Assessment Survey. The results will give a fulsome picture of artists’ needs from coast-to-coast and will be presented to the Canada Council of the Arts in April 2020. Please complete the survey by March 10, 2020. Your responses will remain anonymous.

This survey will take approximately 5 – 10 minutes to complete and at its end you may elect to enter into an exclusive draw to win an iPad Mini!

Background:

There are currently five legal clinics for the arts across Canada who work tenaciously to fund their efforts and service their local artists. A National Network of Legal Clinics for the Arts will unify and coordinate better access to free legal resources, services and information, empowering artists nationwide.

In August 2019, representatives from the individual legal clinics for the arts met with the Canada Council for the Arts and Canadian Heritage to relay the very real legal needs of the arts sector across this country.

The Canada Council for the Arts committed to funding this Needs Assessment Survey for ASOs and artists, which – WITH YOUR HELP- will lead to the development of Canada’s first-ever National Network of Legal Clinics for the Arts.

In order to provide the Canada Council with concrete data of artists’ needs, we need to ensure we connect with the full diversity of Canada’s artists from every region across the country. Please share this survey with organizations and artists OR please help us identify persons and organizations we may have missed by sending us an email.

Thank you for participating! Your input is extremely valuable in providing outstanding legal service to Canadian arts.

Réseau national des cliniques juridiques pour les artistes

Nous menons actuellement une importante enquête d’évaluation des besoins dans le but de développer un réseau national essentiel de services juridiques financés par le gouvernement fédéral pour les artistes à travers le Canada. Les résultats de cette enquête donneront un portrait complet des besoins des artistes aux quatre coins du pays et seront présentés au Conseil des arts du Canada en avril 2020. Veuillez remplir le questionnaire d’ici le 10 mars 2020. Vos réponses resteront anonymes.

Le temps nécessaire pour remplir le questionnaire est d’environ 5 à 10 minutes et, une fois terminé, vous pourrez choisir de participer à un tirage exclusif pour courir la chance de gagner un iPad mini !

Contexte :

Il existe actuellement cinq cliniques juridiques pour les artistes au Canada qui travaillent d’arrache-pied pour financer leurs efforts et desservir leurs communautés locales d’artistes. Un réseau national de cliniques juridiques pour les arts permettrait d’unifier et de coordonner un meilleur accès gratuit aux ressources, aux services et aux renseignements juridiques, donnant ainsi plus de pouvoir aux artistes à la largeur du pays.

En août 2019, des représentantes et des représentants des différentes cliniques juridiques pour les arts se sont réunis avec le Conseil des arts du Canada et Patrimoine canadien pour relayer les besoins juridiques très réels du secteur culturel à travers le pays. 

Le Conseil des arts du Canada s’est engagé à financer la présente enquête d’évaluation des besoins des organismes de services aux arts et des artistes, qui – AVEC VOTRE AIDE – mènera à la création du tout premier réseau national de cliniques juridiques pour les arts au Canada.

Focus Groups: Anti-black Racism in the Arts

Wednesday, January 22, 2020 (2-4pm)
Thursday, January 23, 2020 
(2-4pm)

Regent Park Community Centre
402 Shuter St, Toronto, ON M5A 1X6

CPAMO is convening these focus groups in partnership with the City of Toronto’s Confronting Anti-Black Racism Unit (CABR) and the Nia Centre for the Arts.  The purpose of these focus groups is to explore the situation of Black artists and arts organizations in the City of Toronto.  This exploration will open up discussion on:

1. The scope and contributions of Black arts activities in Toronto
2. The challenges, obstacles, barriers Black artists/arts organizations face in Toronto
3. The current capacities and needs of Black artists/arts organizations
4. Strategies and actions needed to address anti-Black racism in the arts and to build a healthy Black arts communities in Toronto

As we’re aware, there are several challenges to Black arts practices in Toronto some of which may relate to funding inequities, lack of appreciation for Black arts practices and their inherent diversity, the homogenization of such artists/arts organizations within the ‘racialized’ groups category, and the ongoing societal challenges of Black presence in North American urban centres.

To address these and other related issues, CPAMO, CABR and the Nia Centre are working in partnership to prepare a discussion paper that will form the basis for the 2020 Toronto Mayor’s Roundtable on Anti-Black Racism which we aim to convene in early May 2020. Your participation in this focus group will be critical to shaping the issues addressed in this discussion paper and will presented along with preliminary research on Black artists/arts organizations in the U.S. and U.K. The discussion paper will also include recommendations on ways to move forward to address these issues.
