'If this crisis is an opportunity for change, let's start paying artists their dues,' writes Amanda Parris. | CBCArts

Not all artists are in the same boat, however. I would be remiss if I didn't also mention Black artists' difficulties in accessing arts funding. Historically, it has been an upward climb, regardless of government-enforced cuts.

As we sit at home in isolation bingeing movies created by artists, watching Instagram Lives hosted by artists and singing along to music created by artists, I hope an awakening happens. What kind of world do we want to build? I hope it's one where the same creatives who have kept us entertained and sane during this time are no longer taken for granted. I want a world where artists are respected and valued for their work and their worth.

CBC Arts understands that this is an incredibly difficult time for artists and arts organizations across this country. We will do our best to provide valuable information, share inspiring stories of communities rising up and make us all feel as connected as possible as we get through this together.

Heres a thought: maybe dont live in the middle of buttfuck nowhere and you'll get better services? 🤷🏻‍♂️ These remote areas need to treat anyone returning to their communities as we would people coming from overseas.

Quebec Premier Legault sounds optimistic note, says new COVID-19 stats ‘extraordinary’Legault said “only” eight people were hospitalized in the province with the disease over the day prior Even British Columbia is not that optimistic, I guess it is a French thing Amazing what happens once the public figures out what's really going on. Too bad Ont. didn't wait to see whether existing restrictions were working before tightening them & amplifying enforcement. Comparisons will tell if necessary, but Canada in spring isn't Europe in winter.
