Making Life Easier for Artists with new Art Services Kit (ASK)
- Published 2014-01-24 08:59 - (1319 Reads)Quebec’s English Language Arts Network (ELAN):
ELAN is pleased to announce the launching of the Arts Services Kit (ASK), a new tool on its website for artists and arts service providers.ASK is funded by Canadian Heritage and goes right to the heart of why ELAN was created—to share resources and contacts between artists. ASK provides a listing of arts organizations, a funding database, and tip sheets on applying for grants. The central component is a directory of service providers in Quebec. Our directory ranges from listings of proofreaders/editors, rehearsal space rentals, relaxation therapists, to accountants who are sensitive to the challenges faced by freelance artists. If you are an arts service provider and would like to sign up to list your service, or you are an artist looking for a service, information on training/professional development and funding, ASK is for you!
http://www.quebec-elan.org/en/ask
Membership with ELAN is free to Quebec artists and provides information on events, frequent updates about arts in Quebec, advocacy, and other items of interest to artists of all disciplines. If you are interested in becoming a member, sign up today.
