Local Media Artists and Presenters, please join us for Focus Group discussions organized around the country!

Canadian Artists’ Representation/Le Front des artistes canadiens (CARFAC) and the Independent media Arts Alliance (IMAA) are engaging in a national community consultation process in order to evaluate their respective fee schedules in relation to the needs, practices and activities of the Canadian media arts community. The goal of this community consultation process is to develop a harmonized fee schedule structure for media artists. The consultation began in March with an online survey on the subject of artists’ fees. The online survey is now closed. The next phase of the consultation with the community is a series of in-person focus group sessions held across the country to gather specific input from artists and organizations in the media arts community. These discussions are being held in Vancouver, Calgary, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montréal and Halifax between April 7 and 17.

For more information about the process, please contact Emmanuel Madan, IMAA National Director (dir@imaa.ca) or Marcia Lea, CARFAC National Acting Executive Director (marcia@carfac.ca).
