The Canadian Artists’ Representation/Le Front des artistes canadiens (CARFAC), a national organization focused on the arts, is the voice of Canadian visual artists across the country. This non-profit organization’s goal is to promote visual arts in Canada and to encourage a socio-economic climate opportune for the production of artworks. The CARFAC also conducts research and educational products aimed at accomplishing this goal.
About the speaker:
Eric Lesage, the CARFAC’s francophone representative, will be stopping by Le Labo on his trip to Toronto to give a presentation on issues in artistic practice. The presentation will address author’s rights, droits de suite (“right to follow”- a right granted to artists to receive compensation on the resale of their artwork), and compensation rights. It will be an opportunity to learn about aid that is available to artists and the organization’s recent achievements.
