In Budget 2026, we’re backing the Canadian artists who tell our stories.
That means if you’re a Canadian artist, you won’t pay tax on up to $45,000 of income derived from your creative work.
Protecting a mindset that seeks truth more than audience response is one of the biggest challenges of a creative practice
When we aim for the metric with creative work, we tend to miss
When we aim for truth at the deepest form we can understand and express, our work is more likely to find resonance
The internet offers infinite possibilities, but everyone sits in the same traffic now
