Artworks was developed with involvement from ELAN, the Quebec Drama Federation (QDF), the Quebec Writers\u2019 Federation (QWF), and artists from the music, dance and visual arts communities, who contributed suggestions from their respective disciplines to create an ArtWorks Career Day with the Riverside School Board on the South Shore of Montreal. A dozen artists, working in different disciplines, shared their creativity with students and answered questions about careers in the arts.<\/p>\n<p>The first second year of the ArtWorks Career Day connected artists with additional schools in Laval and the Eastern Townships. Through feedback from participating artists and school administrators, the project identified a clear need to convey the importance of arts and culture within educational environments, and to connect school administrators with funding for arts programming. ArtWorks\u00a0 served as a model for what would later become the Arts, Culture, Education (ACE) Initiative.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-36072 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quebec-elan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20130827_ELAN-AGM_slb_001-1030x688.jpg\" alt=\"Bettina Forget (vice-president), Peter MacGibbon (president), Tim Brady (treasurer), Guy Rodgers - at Shift Space\" width=\"1030\" height=\"688\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.quebec-elan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20130827_ELAN-AGM_slb_001-1030x688.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.quebec-elan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20130827_ELAN-AGM_slb_001-scaled-600x401.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.quebec-elan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20130827_ELAN-AGM_slb_001-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.quebec-elan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20130827_ELAN-AGM_slb_001-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.quebec-elan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20130827_ELAN-AGM_slb_001-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.quebec-elan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20130827_ELAN-AGM_slb_001-2048x1367.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.quebec-elan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20130827_ELAN-AGM_slb_001-1500x1001.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.quebec-elan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20130827_ELAN-AGM_slb_001-705x471.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.quebec-elan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20130827_ELAN-AGM_slb_001-scaled.jpg 1450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Bettina Forget (vice-president), Peter MacGibbon (president), Tim Brady (treasurer), Guy Rodgers &#8211; at Shift Space.<\/em><br \/>\n<em><strong>Photo by: Sandra Lynn Belanger\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Made au Qu\u00e9bec<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In 2012, ELAN received funding for a linguistic duality project to promote English-language artists to the francophone community.

The project responded to a sparse representation of English-speaking artists in French-language media, despite the significant achievements of local artists like Grimes, Sam Roberts, Arcade Fire, Louise Penny, Rawi Hage and Yannic Truesdale, who put Montreal on the map as a city flourishing with artistic vitality.<\/p>\n<p>The launch of ELAN\u2019s Made au Qu\u00e9bec aggregation website received unprecedented media coverage from francophone media, including <span style=\"color: #0054a6;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0054a6;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.quebec-elan.org\/portfolio-item\/article-on-made-au-quebec\/\">La Presse<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>and <em>Le Devoir<\/em>, as well as <em>The Montreal Gazette<\/em>, CBC Radio, Huffington Post, and across three different programs on Radio-Canada.<\/p>\n<p>Made au Qu\u00e9bec negotiated media sponsorships and co-promotion deals with VOIR and <em>Urbania<\/em> magazine, making significant strides for the visibility of English-speaking artists in Quebec.

The Committee explored ways to connect a variety of non-traditional media sources like blogs and online services with broader audiences. The work of the Media Committee would inform ELAN\u2019s later projects like Digital Shift and Digital Solutions.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, ELAN participated in a number of important advocacy initiatives. Guy Rodgers was re-elected for a two-year mandate to the board of Culture Montr\u00e9al, where he also chaired the Diversity Committee and sat on the Committee to Promote the French Language.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, the Government of Canada commissioned a report on <span style=\"color: #0054a6;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0054a6;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ic.gc.ca\/eic\/site\/com-com.nsf\/eng\/h_01260.html\">The Creative Economy and the English Speaking Communities in Quebec (ESCQ)<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. ELAN\u2019s Executive Director, Guy Rodgers, sat on the Steering Committee that consulted on the research conducted by Quebec English-Speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), the Community Economic Development and Employability Corporation (CEDEC) and the Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN).<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Creative Economy<\/em> report examined how \u201clittle research has actually been conducted on the factors that shape English-speakers&#8217; participation in the creative economy\u201d. The report found that there was a clear need for more programs and initiatives to \u201cassist English-speaking cultural workers [to] integrate into the Francophone cultural networks\u201d, and clearly cited the need to address \u201csocioeconomic forces\u201d like gentrification and cultural prejudice.<\/p>\n<p>ELAN continued to make strides in broadcasting advocacy, partnering with QCGN to form an alliance to intervene in CRTC\u2019s public hearings on Vid\u00e9otron\u2019s Montreal license renewal. Two public meetings and representations were held, resulting in a resolution to establish an English-language community TV channel in the Montreal area, which would be complementary to Vid\u00e9otron\u2019s French-language community TV channel MAtv.<\/p>\n<p>The joint intervention by ELAN and QCGN into CRTC\u2019s license renewal for CBC also had important impacts on community broadcasting. The <span style=\"color: #0054a6;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0054a6;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.quebec-elan.org\/portfolio-item\/cbc-advocacy-press-release-crtc-cbc-decision-2013\/\">CRTC decision<\/a><\/strong><\/span> stated that under the new licence conditions, CBC Montreal must produce at least 14 hours of local programming, at least one of which would be dedicated to non-news programming. CBC would also be required to consult with Official Language Minority Communities. The licence affected the 900,000 English-speaking Quebecers living Quebec.<\/p>\n<p>This decision was especially timely, as another point of advocacy in 2013 was ELAN\u2019s push-back on Bill 14, which was the Parti Quebecois\u2019 proposed revision of Bill 101. ELAN made interventions in the media and at the National Assembly.<\/p>\n<p><em>The first alarm bell concerns the private use of language.

By June, ELAN\u2019s office manager had resigned and ELAN was reduced to two summer students and a part-time Executive Director.<\/p>\n<p>To improve ELAN\u2019s funding situation, Executive Director Guy Rodgers, President Peter MacGibbon, and past president Chuck Childs arranged meetings with several government departments. It was a great relief when additional funding was secured, allowing ELAN to restore full staffing by the end of the summer. Core funding from the Department of Canadian Heritage was increased for 2014-2016.<\/p>\n<p>This near-death experience for ELAN coincided with a critical period of strategic planning. In 2013, ELAN developed a 2014-19 Strategic Plan with the addition of anticipated projects, such as the 10<sup>th<\/sup> Anniversary, State of the Arts 2019, and what would become Arts Alive!
