Great article by @nickhunebrown about the Toronto arts crisis. Some big orgs like Artscape and Hot Docs are arguably in trouble because their eyes were bigger than their stomachs, but if a truly community based grassroots co like @clayandpaper can't survive we're in real trouble.

Is anyone at the City listening? @BravoDavenport @MayorOliviaChow @TorontoArts How can our founding AD receive a nomination for Celebration of Cultural Life Award one wk and then our arts org has to give up its studio/community arts space the next? Pls make it make sense.

Pls read the crucial Arts+Money series from @TheLocal_TO . We spoke w/ @nickhunebrown about our small NFP losing yet another studio+community arts space due to chronic underfunding, obscene rent & disappearing arts & culture work spaces. IS ANYONE AT THE CITY LISTENING?

This little weirdie, on a walk, will find a concrete retaining wall or high curb, back up into it, walk her back feet up it, poop in mid air, & stare you cheerfully & boldly in the eyes the entire time, like 'You can't touch this, you can only dream of this level of perfection'.
These 2 fabulous weirdos were adopted several years apart, into our family, cos their previous owners did not want them anymore. The previous owners did the responsible thing by finding a shelter or a person to work to rehome them, and we are so lucky to have them. 🙏
@sorayaroberts @TheLocal_TO @nickhunebrown Toronto has a strong tradition of artist-run culture, which includes grass roots organizations with majority artist boards, but even that has been eroded by a shift in priorities towards higher profile, more expensive and unsustainable values.
@sorayaroberts @TheLocal_TO @nickhunebrown Really great piece, such an important issue, thank you for writing it. A lot of this has happened before. There were top heavy arts orgs with unsustainable cost structures that fell or nearly fell in the early `90s when generous gov't funding dried up. We never learn.

This is all essential reading for anyone remotely interested in #Toronto 's culture sector. @carlzoilus on critics; @presgang on artist precarity, & @TamaraJones on how it's as bad or worse for arts workers; @sorayaroberts on our struggling arts orgs, & more. #CdnCult #TheaTO
📢Introducing the Art + Money Issue! For the next two weeks we'll be publishing stories about making art and making a living in Toronto in 2024. thelocal.to/spring-2024/
Great article by @nickhunebrown about the Toronto arts crisis. Some big orgs like Artscape and Hot Docs are arguably in trouble because their eyes were bigger than their stomachs, but if a truly community based grassroots co like @clayandpaper can't survive we're in real trouble.

Look i read a piece like this, and then i see the Canadian Arts Summit claim to train leaders by flying only management employees of orgs with multi-million $ budgets to Banff; and I think they just don't have what it takes to get us out of this.

Is it me? I am finding that the videos theatres are creating to promote productions, or seasons, are strangely not compelling. Mostly they don't have any narrative. Often they splash adjectives across the screen, occasionally in front of short clips of actors we can't hear. Why?
I'd so love to do a prouction of The Rink. Killer score, a need for dazzling performers, a moving story. Always makes me sad how in Canada (and Toronto), we do the same handful of musicals over and over and over again.
