This panel is about the place we live and how receptive our home is to our artwork, our race, our culture, our sexual identity, our sexual orientation… The panelists will discuss the challenges they have faced in establishing an art career, discussing racism, marginalization, elitism and other difficulties encountered. Each panelist will introduce themselves and their struggles in creating a career. There will be discussion between the panelists, questions from the moderators and time for questions from you – the audience. Join us and learn more about issues Canadian artists face.
