CARFAC BC has officially launched the survey for our 2022 Gallery Catalogue project. A successor to our Gallery Survey from 2015, this updated project intends to provide information to artists and the general public about a spectrum of visual arts organizations, including arts councils, virtual or online artist collectives, artist run centres, public and commercial galleries, presentation spaces, museums, and Indigenous cultural organizations.
We hope to cultivate a better understanding of artist fee payments, cultural safety and accessibility. We aim to provide a resource highlighting diverse opportunities for artists in British Columbia, and to support artists in deciding where to submit their work and detail the different professional paths available to them. The catalogue collects information in four categories:
- Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
- Submission Processes
- CARFAC Fees
- Compensation and Supports for Artists
Art organizations across the province is encouraged to participate, regardless of whether or not they see themselves as a “gallery,” a preview of the questions can be found here, and when you are ready to fill out and submit your information, you can access it here, or send it via email to bc@carfac.ca.
Please arrange 45 minutes to an hour to answer the questions.
