Panels will cover, tools for marketing yourself to schools, reclaiming traditional knowledge for indigenous communities, how artists can benefit from the knowledge of their peers through mentorship programs, and how the Artist’s Resale Right would allow artists to share in the profits made from their work if it comes to Canada. Mix and mingle with other artists at receptions celebrating CARFAC’s 45th Anniversary and the winner of this year’s Visual Arts Advocacy Award.

As part of the opening ceremony to Artists for Artists, we invite artists to participate in Newfoundland artist Pam Hall’s Project, Building a Village. Details on the project are found here: https://www.facebook.com/events/540236129353052/?fref=ts. This project is sure to be a great experience for all, and Pam’s message is very fitting for this national conference for artists: “I am trying to make my “community” visible. Even though many of you are thousands of miles away, you are an important part of how I feel connected, supported, and engaged in a world larger than my own immediate house and garden. Will you help me reveal and materialize this far‐flung, virtual, yet very REAL community? I am grateful you are all part of my community, my ‘tribe, my village.”
