You may notice that throughout the questions that there is an emphasis on relationship-building within the communities in which organizations operate, and building capacity around cultural safety and accessibility. This is an opportunity for participating organizations to reflect on the important work that they have done and continue to do in these areas. We want to have a clearer understanding of this work, and the characteristics, or the ethos that drives your organization in order to help shape information around future policy development, and what we can do to better support organizations to support artists. 

While not all questions may be applicable to your organization, please try your best to provide as many answers as possible. We acknowledge that answers aren’t always simply “yes” or “no”, and that you may want to provide additional written information for context, or links for certain questions. We encourage you to do so when necessary.

Originally launched in 2022, this catalogue continues to be publicly available on the CARFAC BC website as a compilation of information about the professional practices of public and private art galleries within British Columbia. With your regular contributions, it will remain updated.

Information provided by organizations that are members of CARFAC BC may also be featured in promotional and outreach activities involving the general public, and or research. Please note: You will not be asked to provide any private information.

We recognize that the survey may not capture all of the information and essence of diverse realities in the arts sector. If you have feedback or specific questions that you feel should be included, please contact us. 

CARFAC BC is committed to improving our accessibility. If you have any questions, require assistance, or would prefer to submit your responses via an interview with CARFAC BC staff, please contact us at: bc@carfac.ca.
