We submitted a proposal for a Canada-wide virtual exhibit project with the theme of 150 years of fashion in Canada. We submitted it twice, but, unfortunately, the project was not accepted. At the Fashion Museum, we are very interested in forging many links across Canada based on our theme. However, once again, we need the means to do so. If the process always consists of trying to create a project proposal, submitting it under a very specific framework, and waiting for a response—which generally comes six months later—we would have had time to do something else in the interim.
It's thus extremely difficult to carry out day-to-day activities, especially solicitation and development activities. It's not possible right now, but we would very much like to expand across the country.
