The RAIQ will be holding its Annual General Meeting, for members and potential members, this Friday September 19, 10am, at the Studio 303, 372, Ste-Catherine St. W, #303 (in the Belgo Building). We hope to see you there!
New General Manager at the RAIQ
Dear friends, members of the RAIQ and interdisciplinary artists at large,
I am pleased to announce that as of September, the RAIQ has a new General Manager, Lise Gagnon. Lise's tremendously varied background clearly demonstrates her passion for artistic hybridity and experimentation.
As Director of the new media centre Studio XX from 1999 to 2004, she was instrumental in the organisation's development and growth. Lise holds a B.A. in Dance, a Masters in Art Studies, and is currently the Director of the prestigious Cahiers de théâtre Jeu.
Call to Interdisciplinary Artists: Come Out and Protest! Canadian Culture is At Risk!
As you have no doubt heard by now, the Harper government has proposed major cuts to several arts and cultural programs directly affecting the promotion of Canadian arts, and the work of Canadian artists, here and abroad. After having abolished PromArt, the program administered by the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, the government then announced it would be cutting the Trade Routes program through the department of Canadian Heritage.
