ELAN\u2019s 7th annual Arts, Culture, Heritage (ACH) Working Group meeting on February 1st<\/sup> filled the second floor of McGill University\u2019s Thompson House with fifty artists, cultural workers and representatives of federal institutions. The diverse group of participants discussed various challenges facing Quebec English-speaking communities in arts, culture and heritage, and explored collective solutions to these issues, and opportunities for collaboration between groups. Half of the participants were members of ELAN and the Quebec Anglophone Heritage Network (QAHN). The other half consisted of a dozen participants from the Department of Canadian Heritage, Canada Council for the Arts, CBC, the the National Film Board, Telefilm, Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED), Global Affairs Canada, Canada Economic Development and Parks Canada. In addition, le Conseil des arts et des letters du Qu\u00e9bec (CALQ) and le Conseil des arts de Montr\u00e9al (CAM) sent representatives for the first time. Co-leaders from the ACH Working Group will continue to develop ideas over the coming year, and we will report on this progress at ELAN\u2019s Annual General Meeting in August 2017.<\/p>\n

One of the direct results from the Working Group will be a March meeting between ELAN\u2018s board and Simon Brault, Director and CEO of the Canada Council for the Arts. If you have questions about Council\u2019s New Funding Model, send them to admin@quebec-elan.org by March 20th. We will share Simon Brault\u2019s answers with you next month.<\/p>\n

YES Montreal is holding its 17th<\/sup> Annual Artists\u2019 Conference on March 27th<\/sup> at the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 des Arts Technologiques (SAT). The Conference is part of YES\u2019 Business Skills for Creative Souls Program, which has helped thousands of artists develop entrepreneurial skills so they can build sustainable careers. YES and ELAN regularly collaborate on workshops for artists and I will be speaking at the conference about the support ELAN offers. The day\u2019s schedule is always stimulating and thought-provoking. I hope to see some of you at the morning panel discussion or during the post-conference Schmoozer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
