SPACQ was founded in 1981 from a desire by artists to be able to practice their craft in dignity and prosperity and to find solutions to the challenges they faced in the management of reproduction rights, in modernizing copyright and in the status of the artist.
In matters of cultural policies and new technologies, SPACQ makes sure that those artists occupy a place of dignity in the great living legacy chain. Convinced as we are that we must act as one on these issues, SPACQ plays an active role in groups such as CAMI, the Canadian Conference of the Arts and the Coalition for Cultural Diversity. Our recommendations on the updating of the act coincide with the positions taken by all those groups. You can find a list of them attached to our brief.
