The Globe and Mail published the following article this morning about Statistics Canada’s review of the status of artists in Canada, not so pretty.
Starving Artists? That’s not far from the mark. Article by James Adams.
From the article:
“According to the Hill study, the poorest-paid Canadian artist category is that of female visual artist, with average earnings in 2005 of $11,421, closely followed by female artisan/craftsperson ($12,307), female musician/singer ($12,449), and female dancer ($12,502).”
Sad to see the female visual artist/craftsperson at the bottom of the barrel.

I received a copy of this book from my husband and am quite enjoying it. It’s got beautifully well written, short (which is always good for those of us with little time) essays that tap into how random everyday objects shape our worlds, perspectives and identities. It brings to light how objects are active rather than passive in our relationship with them; and how they link us to others, crossing geographical and temporal distance. I particularly liked the essay by Susan Yee which talks about her working with the original sketches and blueprints of the famous architect Le Corbusier and her discussion of how the accessibility of online scanned archives, which are far easier accessed, will always lack in presence, intimacy and connection with the artist.
You can find the book here.
