As ArtBridges’ Community-Engaged Arts Directory grows, we realize that it’s a bit overwhelming to read through all of the profiles. We’re hoping that by occasionally highlighting some profiles on our blog, you may learn about an initiative that you may not have initially seen in the directory. Also, if you know of a Canadian community-engaged arts for social change initiative that isn’t in our directory, but should be, please let us know! We love and need your input/feedback in building this resource! -Lisa, Content Coordinator at Artbridges.

 “As Toronto-based Artists, we know how much it can cost just to apply to a show and put up an exhibition. When galleries approach you about showing your work, how do you know if your work can sell? They ask for an upfront fee, a cut of your sold artwork, or some form of payment and you have no idea how well your artwork will be represented or if the gallery or exhibition is for your work?

So far, the best way to find out is to ask your fellow Artist friends. But now we’ve opened up the platform to the community so you can search for information about galleries and shows while sharing your experiences right on PinPoint.”
