Inter Arts Matrix and CAFKA are co-presenting Uncovering Barriers, on Wednesday July 17th from 7:00pm - 8:30pm at Inter Arts Matrix (Globe Studios, 141 Whitney Place, Kitchener). This evening is dedicated to exploring and discussing a recently published report about barriers visual artists face in the Waterloo Region and recommendations to reduce those barriers.

About the report: In June 2024, local artists Brenda Mabel Reid, Sharl G. Smith, and Julie Hall published “Uncovering Barriers: Identifying Gaps in Opportunities and Resources Causing Barriers for Visual Artists in Waterloo Region with Recommendations to Reduce these Barriers.”  The report can be found here. The study aims to identify the gaps in the opportunities and resources causing barriers to the establishment, maintenance, and growth of the individual art practices of regional visual artists.

Julie Hall, who analyzed the data and wrote the report, will give a synopsis presentation pertaining to the data collected in the report and will facilitate the community discussion about its findings.

Event Registration: Event seating is limited, please register in advance.
