Surveying the Community
surveys sent to Quebec-based arts organizations.
The scope of this project will focus on collecting data on arts organizations rather than individual artists. We’ve sent electronic surveys to over 250 Quebec-based organizations across a variety of disciplines, with respondents falling under five categories: associations, companies, festivals, production organizations, and venues.
2019
$100,000
- Send surveys to English-language arts organizations
- Compile, translate and summarize funding program documentation
- Conduct focus groups with community members
2020
$150,000
- Encourage an increased number of applications from organizations and monitor success rates
- Meet with Minister of Culture
- Invite Quebec cultural agencies to join a provincial Arts and Culture Working Group
2021
$150,000
- Investigate positive and negative responses to funding applications
- Present final report to Secretariat for relations with English-speaking Quebecers (including the number of funding application submitted, the success rate, and any partnerships created within the community)
During COVID-19 and social distancing, ELAN and Québec Relations have connected with our community by providing a series of webinars on funding and resources in the province. These webinar videos are free for public viewing.

Identifying Funding
In order to help address the needs communicated in these survey responses, ELAN has identified over 100 funding sources at the provincial level, from funding bodies such as CALQ, SODEC, the Ministry of Culture and Communications, the Ministry of Tourism, and Emploi-Québec.
Improving Accessibility
ELAN is in the process of translating program documentation and formatting the summarized information to make it easily accessible for English-language arts organizations in the future.

ELAN is an official minority language organization within a country that recognizes two languages as official. ELAN is located in Tiohtiak:ke, the original name for Montreal in Kanien’kéha, the language of the Mohawk—also known as Mooniyang, which is the Anishinaabeg name given to the city by the Algonquin. While we are based in this city, our projects have also taken place in many regions across Quebec.
We acknowledge the colonial origin of English and French in Canada, and recognize that both languages benefit from official status throughout the land. The province that we know as Quebec is an amalgamation of the traditional territories of the Innu and Inuit nations, Algonquian nations, as well as the Mohawk nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Kanien’kéha and Anishinaabeg are but two of the original languages of this province; Atikamekw, Cree, Inuktitut, and Innu-aimun are also among the many Indigenous languages spoken across Quebec as majority languages, all well before French and English.
ELAN acknowledges the important work being done by First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples to revive the traditional languages of these territories, and their advocacy for the official status of Indigenous languages.
