- Jini Stolk raised some good questions about the collapse of Goodwill Toronto—and reinforced the importance of planning at strong and healthy arts organizations.
- #CdnCult Times on SpiderWebShow wrapped up Volume 6, curating articles on the topic of representation in Toronto theatre, featuring Djanet Sears, Michael Mori, and Camila Diaz-Varela.
- Hill Strategies analyzed volunteers and donors in arts and culture organizations in Canada in 2013. It’s unclear to me whether the characterization of “56,000 jobs” is entirely professional work being done by volunteers, or includes the work of amateur artists—but it is a fascinating read nonetheless.
Behind the Scenes at Ontario’s Theatres

- Previewing the upcoming Western Ontario Drama League Festival in the Woodstock Sentinel-Review.
- A useful resource from the Intellectual Property Issues in Cultural Heritage (IPinCH) project at Simon Fraser University—Think Before You Appropriate: Things to know and questions to ask in order to avoid misappropriating Indigenous cultures (PDF).
In Case You Missed It
