While the current and proposed international trade tariffs announced by the Trump administration do not directly target the Canadian live performing arts community itself, the CAPACOA Board and Staff recognize the increased anxiety and potential impact the current geopolitical and economic climate creates for arts workers at home and abroad.
In recognition of the uncertainty widely felt by many, we wish to take a moment to remind all our members, partners, and colleagues that we have collectively built strong alliances, networks, and support systems across this country, preparing us to take calm, considerate action when facing the unknown. In the months ahead, we will continue to support and champion national and international advocacy efforts, and resource sharing initiatives, that help us all work together to support the arts sector, our national community, and the much larger international network of colleagues who remain eager to work with us!
