La Filature does not receive support from anyone except for the building's renovation. Quite recently, one of the organizations, DAÏMÔN, received a subsidy from Canadian Heritage for the installation of cultural equipment to set up a sound studio, which it had never managed to do before.
In fact, we have always wanted to demonstrate that if we are allowed to put in place equipment, infrastructure and tools, it is then our responsibility to manage them. As I often say, we don't want to ask a government body to pay our heating and hydro bills. However, we can't afford to invest, borrow and incur debt to renovate a building or even to expand it, because that would be an enormous burden for the organizations and artists who depend on subsidies.
As I was saying, AXENÉO7 and DAÏMÔN are mainly supported by the Canada Council for the Arts and the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec. The artists who use these workshops also occasionally receive grants from the Canada Council for the Arts and the Conseil des arts et des lettres of Quebec, but we can't call that guaranteed income.
