I have joined the Board of Directors for CARFAC Ontario. It is currently an interim position, and I have the opportunity to stand for election at our Annual General Meeting this fall.
CARFAC Ontario is an association of professional visual and media artists. Founded in 1968, CARFAC (Canadian Artists' Representation/le Front des artistes canadiens) has worked for over three decades on the legal and economic issues facing visual artists. We believe that artists, like professionals in other fields, should be paid for their work and share equitably in profits from their art practice. The work of CARFAC Ontario is to develop policies, publications and services that assist artists, galleries, curators, art patrons, and other stakeholders in creating an economic climate that benefits all visual artists.
I have been a member of CARFAC Ontario and a member of their Communications Committee since 2004. I'm looking forward to this opportunity to working with the staff and other board members to continue its work in advocacy and support for artists
