PRAIRIE ARTSTERS: KNOW YOUR RIGHTS

Filed under: ANNOUNCEMENTS, CARFAC, VAAA | Back to: Homepage

by AMY FUNG: PRAIRIE ARTSTERS

Recently, I attended my first National Conference for Visual Artists as organized by CARFAC, the Canadian Artists’ Representation/le Front des artistes canadiens. Up until then, I (and apparently many others) had only ever referred to CARFAC for their exhibition fee schedule, which provided a guideline for artist fees according to the type of exhibition. Even a day into the conference, when somebody asked me what the CARFAC acronym stood for, I blankly blinked at them without a clue. As a 42-year-old organization whose first president was Edmonton’s own Sylvian Voyer, how did CARFAC completely slip my field of consciousness? As a national organization that champions the rights of professional artists through proactive lobbying for better legislation and bringing to the table up-to-date issues such as implementing resale rights for Canadian artists, CARFAC—at least in Alberta—has simply not been a factor for emerging arts professionals, and this is a problem for us all.   MORE >>
