Those
of you who follow us on Twitter and/or Facebook may have already heard of the
upcoming Art + Law conference organized by CARFAC National that will be held in
Ottawa from June
8-10. From reading our bulletins and Magazine, you would also know that we have
been particularly active on the copyright file during the last few years in
Canada and internationally, avidly
watching, reporting and analysing the developments of C-11.
It seemed
natural then that we would partner with CARFAC and engage our network and
expertise towards the success of the conference, in particular towards the
copyright panel. Other topics that will be discussed during the three day event
are labour relations and artist’s resale rights, which I am sure will interest
many of you out there! As a benefit of your CCA membership, we have made sure
that you are eligible to register at the special early bird rate of $75 or $50
for students.
Still, if you can’t make it to Ottawa that weekend there
are ways to take part in the discussions. Both the copyright and labour
relations panels will be open to a live interactive debate where artists and
legal experts are invited to contribute questions via twitter at #artlaw.
Additionally,
CARFAC has launched an exciting contest for emerging artists and law students.
Four travel bursaries of up to $500 each will be awarded, two for emerging
artists and two for law students. To win, contestants must upload a video to
Youtube explaining why CARFAC is important to them. The videos with the most
likes as of April
6th will be the winners.
Contest Rules:
- Only emerging
artists and law students are eligible.
- Videos should
be on the positive impact of CARFAC’s programs and services on visual artists in
Canada.
- All videos must
include CARFAC’s web address.
- Bursary
recipients must attend the Art + Law conference.
- Only one
bursary may be awarded per participant.
- The amount of
the bursary will not exceed the amount of the participant’s travel expenses and
conference fee.

form must be filled out and sent to communications at carfac
dot ca
- Contest

6th
- When promoting
your video on twitter, use our hashtag: #artlaw.
I
strongly urge you to vote for your favorite video and to forward this
information to any and all of your networks to ensure the participation of the
next generation to this important event.
I must say that we enjoy working
together with CARFAC on this sectoral conference and look forward to similarly
supporting other events our members have planned for the future. By all means,
send me an email, tweet
or Facebook
message about your upcoming events and let us together find a
way the CCA can best serve you.
