SERVICE PRIORITIES
CCEDA commits our limited (but potent!) collective energies, resources and services, first and foremost, to the community of diverse artists in Calgary who tend to work more on the margins – by circumstance and/or by choice – and, as such, are largely under-represented and under-served, and thus under-valued.
In other words, CCEDA prioritizes services and supports for equity-seeking artists who don't want to be "included", but do want a more equal share of public arts funding, resources and stature.
