----------------------------------------------------------------
Meeting: City of Ottawa to Cut Grants to Artists
Wednesday, November 19th 
7:00 pm, Club SAW (67 Nicholas Street) 
On November 4th, the City announced its proposed budget for 2009. A
number of cuts were proposed for the arts community, including a 100%
cut to individual artist grants. 
The City of Ottawa provides granting programs that support local
professional artists for creation and production of new work or
completion of works in progress. Funding is awarded to individual
emerging and established artists in the literary, visual, media and
performing arts. 
On Wednesday, November 19th CARFAC will host a meeting that is open to
Ottawa artists of all disciplines and those who support them. We will
discuss the impact those cuts will have for individual artists and what
can be done to stop them.  
* Attend the meeting on November 19th, 7:00 pm, Club SAW (67 Nicholas
Street)
