Carfac Alberta, Shaping Alberta Exhibition<br />
Hi, I'm trying to do a budget and in order to do a proposal for your Carfac Alberta exhibition<br />
opportunity. I have a few questions.<br />
You mentioned a 'nominal artist fee' how much money is that exactly?<br />
Your call ask for 'the work <strong>of</strong> artists who – through the creation <strong>of</strong> art – communicate,<br />
influence and build creatively vibrant and connected visual arts communities we live and work<br />
in.' This is a very vague and virtually meaningless statement, please clarify; since most 2<br />
dimensional visual art is non collaborative, and studio practices are inherently competitive for<br />
the small amount <strong>of</strong> wall space (the politics <strong>of</strong> the wall) and the very limited funds available.<br />
This sounds like a project better suited for the internet, in fact I am having difficulty discerning<br />
an intelligible thematic discourse. What does 'creatively vibrant' mean; communicate - what<br />
exactly; influence who and for what purpose? <strong>The</strong>se questions all speak to addressing my moral<br />
rights, as per the Carfac national website: ( Moral rights include: <strong>The</strong> right to protect your<br />
artwork against distortion, alteration or mutilation in a way which prejudices your reputation;<br />
<strong>The</strong> right to associate your name as the author <strong>of</strong> your work or remain anonymous if you choose<br />
and <strong>The</strong> right to protect your visual image from association with a cause, a product, service, or<br />
institution to which you are personally opposed.)<br />
Do you plan on compensating for Carfac copyright and exhibition fees?<br />

I'm a pr<strong>of</strong>essional artist currently working in digital media, the cost <strong>of</strong> printing, framing,<br />
shipping and insuring the work can easily exceed C$500.00 and its <strong>of</strong>ten more when I paint.<br />
How will I be compensated for these out <strong>of</strong> pocket costs incurred in order to exhibit in your<br />
show, over and above the exhibition fee. Or is this considered a donation? Are you a registered<br />
charity able to produce receipts for Revenue Canada?<br />
<strong>The</strong> 'membership fee' you require to exhibit, is it a one time cost or is it pay to play? Is it<br />
included the exhibition fee?<br />
Tell me how you plan to insure the work, for what amount and who pays the deductible, and<br />
what amount that is in case <strong>of</strong> damage.<br />
Will the condition reports, before and after exhibition, including photo documentation, be<br />
made available to the artist and my insurance broker?
