High housing prices, rental rates, and studio rents make it difficult for artists to live and work in many of B.C.’s cities and towns. Local governments will want to include ways to assist artists with housing and studios when developing comprehensive arts policies. 1/3

People often tell me “I’m not an artist”, “I can’t draw”, or “I’m just not a creative person”. And it honestly breaks my heart every time I hear it.

2025 included a lot of behind the scenes work with our first Executive Director, Sharon Marshall, who worked successfully in strengthening governance, advancing member engagement, improving internal systems, and deepening our commitment to decolonial practices. 1/3

A note about those considering asking creative professionals to work for free: please don’t do it. Suggesting that someone work “for exposure” undermines not only the artist’s ability, services, and time, but the value of all artists. 1/3
