00:42:58 Andrea Ritchie: Kindly, teachers aren't off. :) 00:45:37 wes: i’m feeling great! 01:11:21 Andrea Ritchie: I'm looking optimistically at the CERB as a first trial run for Canada of a Basic Income program. I think a silver lining goign forward would be for people to become galvanized around this important idea. 01:11:44 Ryan Brown: same! 01:12:34 Jane Simpson: Agreed. 01:13:24 wes: agreed! just thinking of 100 years ago, major socially progressive changes in the US (and in Canada) were established in the midst of the great depression! 01:16:03 markhopkins: Music (and all arts) do not happen without a one on one assessment….but parents and kids do not know the difference. Ryan, you are correct, we are necessary for feedback. 01:16:24 markhopkins: Music teaching, I meant. 01:18:42 Andrea Ritchie: I think it's vital that any of us representing orgnizations continue to advocate that artists be fairly compensated for their work and content. 01:18:50 Jane Simpson: 100% 01:21:14 Ryan Brown: absolutely - and i’m personally lucky that i have my admin job to fall back on. touring musicians are in a crazy space right now. had friends with a 40-date tour cancelled. broadcasting from home every day is not the same as traveling and playing for different audiences in different spaces, even if the bulk of the show is the same 01:22:17 Andrea Ritchie: I think we need to be careful about the idea that artists (or any of use) NEED to be productive right now. Many people are finding focus and positive engagement through their creative work. Some people can't make work or teach at all right now. Both are valid. 01:22:48 Anna Rail: In total agreement. 01:22:56 wes: definitely. 01:23:01 Andrea Ritchie: Totally support that Amy. Creating content isn't free. 01:23:26 Jane Simpson: absolutely Amy 01:24:07 Kaitlyn: https://www.eduarts.ca/resources-for-the-arts-and-learning-sector-during-the-covid-19-pandemic 01:25:01 Kaitlyn: kaitlyn.bois@eduarts.ca 01:25:04 markhopkins: Wow - this looks amazing! 01:28:11 Kaitlyn: https://ilostmygig.ca/covid19-impact-survey-spring-2020/?mc_cid=58c3308147&mc_eid=2168f73873 01:32:01 Elizabeth Sircom: If as I think he was, Larry was asking an essential question about the influence of this special time on our own practice outside of the material aspect of things, then yes! I am finding it very profound, both for musical practising and art-making, Without a specific "performance date" for any art or music in the near future I am finding that the fundamental nature of why I do this, for myself, as a kind of inner journey, becomes clearer and more urgent. 01:32:47 Andrea Ritchie: Please visit the VANS website to access the resources that we're gathering and sharing. and or follow us on social media. Advocacy is an important part of our work, as well as the podcast training and other workshps that will be being set up and shared very soon. https://visualarts.ns.ca 01:33:41 Elizabeth Sircom: Answer to poll 3 could only become clear over a period of several months for my husband and myself. Our income is very irregular, a large part comes from my husband"s paintings, which sell...randomly. 01:34:26 Andrea Ritchie: Thank you! Stay safe! 01:34:33 Ryan Brown: amazing Elizabeth! was going to comment re Amy’s point too - making music has basically been self-care for me the last couple of weeks. super valuable, no “point” otherwise.
