Visual Arts Summit - final day

I have a lot of information to share about the last day of the Visual Arts Summit, but I will wait until tomorrow to write it when the compilation of information from the summit is released and I can add that to my comments.
What I can say right now is that all the money and time spent organizing and attending this historic event has not been wasted and I truly think that this one event will result in the most significant and beneficial changes for the art industry in Canada's history.
Among some of the many topics that will be addressed as a result of the summit is the fact that currently the average wage of the Canadian artist is approximately $10,000 below the poverty line.
Obviously, we cannot have a healthy cultural climate if the creators of art cannot afford the basic necessities of life.
This summit is going to be the catapult that will put the arts before the public and government and ensure attention is paid to the important and long overdue concerns of those in the art industry.
