I would say that venues are where artists play. Our network presents thousands and thousands of shows a year. Almost every artist who tours in Quebec is playing in our venues.
We could get into the weeds of how to structure eventual programs for venues, but the reality is that you have to start at the beginning, and the beginning is that venues are where artists play. A lot of those spaces are structurally excluded from existing funding and have been historically, so everything Erin said is correct. There's a much longer conversation to be had there, but it's helpful to work backwards.
