We need to make a case for the visual arts as an integrated system that operates with many parts and that recognizes the complexities of today's figure of the artist and his or her remuneration. Without that, it's really hard for us to make a case because there's no agreement on whether the system is actually improving, decreasing, losing or gaining.
The Visual Arts Alliance has been asking Canadian Heritage for data since I started at ARCA in 2012. We have a very good study by Guy Bellavance of the INRS. It gives us the whole action plan to produce this data.
