Can’t the city do a better job of supporting our “creative” community — artists, musicians and performers of all stripes? Stories in the ‘Can’t we do better?’ series“We’re losing the spaces and places where artists, which make the city fantastic, do their business,” said Coun. Paula Fletcher (Ward 14 Toronto-Danforth). Fletcher said it’s time to consider turning city-owned property into “co-working spaces” for artists of varied disciplines to gather. The city of Montreal offers numerous programs to support artists with the enthusiastic support of the Quebec government, including a program to subsidize “ateliers d’artistes,” workshop spaces for artists of many disciplines.
