FAQ
1.What do we mean by francophone or francophile ?
Francophile: a person who has a strong affinity towards the French language and/or Francophone history in Canada.
Francophone*: based on the Government of Ontario’s Inclusive Definition of Francophone (IDF), which includes “those persons whose mother tongue is French, plus those whose mother tongue is neither French nor English but have a particular knowledge of French as an Official Language and use French at home.”
* Ontario’s Francophone population is culturally diverse and includes people from countries all over the French-speaking world. For many Francophones, the arts are a critical link between language and cultural identity, and Ontario’s Francophone artists are deeply valued by their communities. Because Francophone individuals and communities are dispersed throughout Ontario, Francophone artists and arts organizations may face particular challenges.
The artist or curator who presents the project must be able to communicate in French and develop bilingual context about the exhibition. If the curator is francophone or francophile, the artist presented does not have to be and vice versa.
2.What do we mean by media art ?
We refer to artworks involving the recording of either images, sounds, or new technologies in the broadest possible sense. We are very open to discovering projects from any background if they involve technology at any point in the process or outcome.
3.What does Le Labo cover versus what are the applications supposed to cover?
We are limited to one CARFAC artist fee per project. Unfortunately, Le Labo is not able to cover additional fees for additional artists/participant.

4.Where can I get access to Le Labo layout?

5.Where can I get access to Le Labo equipment list?

6.What does Le Labo mean by mediation activity?
Any activity that involves a close relationship with the public at a specific time such as a workshop for professional artists, the general public or children, a guided tour, participation in a podcast, etc.
