The BC Gallery Catalogue 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.
Through this project we’ve collaborated with dozens of Arts, Culture, and other Non-Profit organizations in creating an interactive map featuring all the places around the province that offer various opportunities for artists at all stages of their career. It is an ongoing project and any organizations wishing to join can find more information here.
Join us on January 19, 2-4 pm (PST) for a panel discussion and introduction to the new BC Gallery Catalogue.
Hosted by Sidi Chen, this panel will include a range of BC arts practitioners that have been involved in the Catalogues development and organizations included.
The panel is free and open to the public, register here.
Aside from being an introduction to the Gallery Catalogue, the panel will also feature discussions on the following questions:
- How does supporting artists’ rights look like in your community or organization?
- What are the challenges to fostering access to better practice in your community or organization? What potential resources are needed to address the challenges?
- How can you see CARFAC BC, as a provincial branch of CARFAC National, better advocate for artists’ rights and support organizations like yours?
- What role can you see the Gallery Survey and resource map play in better supporting artists’ rights and professional practice?
Organizations part of the map are encouraged to contact us for any feedback, questions, or to request information changes at bc@carfac.ca
