- The MARProject is a collaborative project of CADA-ON (Canadian Alliance of Dance Artists, Ontario), CARFAC Ontario (Canadian Artists' Representation/le Front des artistes canadiens), Canadian Music Centre—Ontario Region, Dance Ontario and Ontario Crafts Council. They are investigating the possibility of a micro-credit program to support artists who cannot access conventional credit, in order to improve artists’ socio-economic status. (This initiative falls within the emerging field of social finance.) They’re surveying professional artists to assess the scope of the needs in this area. The survey closes April 15.
