This University of Ottawa publication by Shanice Bernicky highlights how Canada’s arts and culture sector is often tasked with “fixing” issues related to equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) initiatives when funding is cut to education, health, and community programs, yet arts institutions are not equipped to do this. The paper followers one resident researcher’s journey as they were tasked with developing an arts civic impact framework suggesting equity practices in the arts, bringing cultural workers across the country together to develop an accessible tool for arts organizations to engage in EDI practices within the sector.
