We made workshop notes from the Canada Council grant writing workshop available to the public, and constructed an Arts Services Kit (ASK) that was incorporated into our website. Over the years, we have continued to share guides and tool-kits through our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quebec-elan.org\/documents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Documents<\/strong><\/a> archive, a small sample of which includes the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.quebec-elan.org\/portfolio-item\/getting-media-attention-workshop-summary-2015\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> <strong>Getting Media Attention Workshop Summary<\/strong><\/a> (2015), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quebec-elan.org\/portfolio-item\/accord-artists-tool-kit-2016\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>ACCORD Artists Toolkit <\/strong><\/a>(2016), the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quebec-elan.org\/portfolio-item\/market-access-panel-summary-2016\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Visual Arts Market Access Panel Summary <\/strong><\/a>(2016).<\/p>\n<p>Based on interviews and focus groups with ELAN members and allies, we produced a Strategic Plan that would guide our programming and identify key areas of concern for artists in Quebec, which, in 2019, continue to guide our work. We wanted to ensure that the French-speaking community saw us as a partner in the creation and promotion of the arts in Quebec. We understood that there was important work to do in strengthening the ties between arts and education\u2060\u2014work that would lead to successful projects like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.quebec-elan.org\/ace-initiative\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ACE Initiative<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/artistsinspire.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Artists Inspire Grants<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>One of ELAN\u2019s major roles was, and continues to be, to give a clear voice to the concerns of our members and to be a catalyst for promoting multicultural and multidisciplinary exchanges. ELAN has been a member of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/qcgn.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Quebec Community Groups Network<\/a><\/strong> (QCGN) since 2005. Along with the QDF, ELAN has promoted artists and the arts as an important part of the English-speaking community. QCGN played an instrumental role in helping ELAN write to major applications that would result in Recognizing Artists, <em>Enfin Visible!<\/em> (RAEV).<\/p>\n<p>During 2006-07, ELAN\u2019s Advocacy Group prepared briefs for the reorganization of le Conseil des arts de Montr\u00e9al, the Standing Committee of the CBC, the Standing Committee on Official Languages, and the CRTC. ELAN was increasingly approached by government bodies to give the English-language arts community representation in public consultations where our community was previously unrepresented.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ELAN celebrated its third year with more firsts!
