CARFAC and RAAV have been advocating for an Artist’s Resale Right (ARR) for many years. The ARR is a royalty that would allow visual artists to be rewarded as their career progresses and their reputation grows.

The Government of Canada is working toward implementing an ARR. The Department of Canadian Heritage has published an online questionnaire to gather information on the Canadian art market. You can learn more about the consultation here: https://bit.ly/gov-of-canada-arr-consultation

We strongly encourage you to participate in the consultation and help us make the case for the ARR in Canada.

Le CARFAC et le RAAV militent en faveur du droit de suite pour les artistes depuis plusieurs années. Le droit de suite est une redevance qui permettrait aux artistes en arts visuels de recevoir une récompense alors que leur carrière progresse et que leur réputation s’accroit.

Le gouvernement du Canada travaille à la mise en œuvre du droit de suite pour les artistes. Le ministère du Patrimoine canadien a publié un sondage en ligne afin de recueillir des informations sur le marché de l’art canadien.

Nous vous encourageons vivement à participer à cette consultation afin de nous aider à faire valoir le droit de suite au Canada.

QUIET RIOT: THE MAKER ARTIST MAKING NOISE WITH SMALL SCULPTURES
Kimberly Barton wrote about Rene Vandenbrink's show in for Good Trouble magazine https://www.goodtroublemag.com/home/quiet-riot-the-maker-artist-protesting-in-soft-sculpture

The handmade can be a powerful tool, while the 'maker' movement of employing craft practices to satisfy the artistic can be an act of defiance. This is certainly the case for Canadian textile artist Rene Vandenbrink. Based in London, Ontario, Vandenbrink seeks alternatives to the waste and

Stories of the collections found in Rene Vandenbrink's Leftovers will be shared over the course of the exhibition. The show is on until April 30. Do come spend time with them -

Seed Starters, 2017
Gardening is a way of avoiding commercial food sources. It starts with purchasing seeds from small local companies providing organic heirloom fruit and vegetable seeds. These seeds are sometimes started indoors often using recycled containers like tetra packs, yogurt containers and bottles. This is a collection of toilet paper rolls saved for holding soil to start seeds. The paper rolls were cut on the bottom, folded, wrapped in unbleached cotton and pink wool threads. These containers were from seeds and seedlings that failed to thrive.

Birch Bark Bed, 2017
Birch Bark Bed is a collection of birch bark found on the forest floors of a bush lot in Southwestern Ontario, wooded area in the Muskokas and a wood lot along Lake Huron. Each piece of bark has its own unique colouration and curves. Some still have wood and lichens attached. They are situated on the floor of the shoe box acting as a bed for the fungi collections from the same locations the bark was collected from. Behind the bed is a mass of fabrics solar dyed using plant material from along the Thames River's shore. They are fallen, decaying materials that are fragile and finding rest in their shoe box home.
