Dark Clouds Over Canadian Arts-Funding

by Laura Paolini

<H>ART Magazine, Nov. 13, 2008, no. 43, p. 18

In this article, Laura Paolini examines the state of Canadian arts-funding, lamenting the recent re-election of the Conservative majority and the subsequent arts budget cuts. Addressing both the controversial Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and Bill C-10, which granted the Canadian Minister of Heritage the power to withdraw financial support from any film or television production it deemed offensive, she wonders if the future for Canadian artists is a corporate-sponsored/patron-based system.
