Government of Canada Introduces Canada Performing Arts Workers Resilience Fund
A new temporary $60 million fund will provide assistance to workers in Canada's live performing arts sector. The fund will finance initiatives led and delivered by organizations to directly support independent and self-employed workers. The fund is open to eligible applicants such as artist unions, guilds, associations, service organizations, benevolent foundations, or Indigenous organizations that represent the interest of cultural workers including musicians, actors, directors, choreographers, designers and technicians. Deadline for application is March 4, 2022.
Truth, Reconciliation and Treaty Implementation Planning
The Office of the Treaty Commissioner, in partnership with the Saskatchewan Arts Alliance, is looking for organizations seeking to create an action plan for Truth, Reconciliation and Treaty Implementation. The process will take place over 3 - 5 months and will help your organization map its current place in its journey to reconciliation and help develop next steps and future strategies. Contact info@artsalliance.sk.ca for more information, and learn more about the Growth Model for Truth, Reconciliation and Treaty Implementation.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Canada's Nonprofit Sector Survey
CharityVillage invites those who lead, work at, are board members of, or volunteer for a nonprofit or who assist nonprofits to recruit and hire staff to take part in a survey on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in the sector. Responses must be submitted by February 11, 2022 to be included in the results. All information shared is confidential and will be shared only as aggregate data. Data and insights will be used to inform CharityVillage's own strategy, policy and practices for DEI and to help develop information and resources for stakeholders.
Arts Response Tracking Survey Tracks COVID Recovery Challenges
Business/Arts' ARTS tracker survey highlights the most recent trends and recoveries in the arts sector as organizations continue to deal with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Findings from the most recent survey include:
  • 27% of respondents have returned to indoor events
  • 34% have returned to museums
  • 43% say going to an indoor arts/culture event is as safe as dining at a sit-down restaurant
  • 47% say going to an indoor arts/culture event is safer than going to an indoor sporting event
  • 28.4% of Prairie respondents have already returned to indoor arts and culture events and performances; 37.8% have already returned to outdoor events.
