Canada Arts Connect Magazine is looking for a new Managing Editor!

At CAC, we’re a small but dedicated team that works hard to bring its readership the latest news, reviews, and interviews in the Canadian arts. Covering large and small events, well-known and emerging artists, and all areas of the Canadian arts (visual arts, literature, music, fashion, theatre, film, dance, and more), CAC needs a Managing Editor that is excited to handle a team that covers the country from coast to coast.

CAC’s new Managing Editor will be asked to manage our current team of writers as well as be an integral part of bringing on new writers right away.

Happy 5th Anniversary to Canada Arts Connect!

March 4, 2013 in CAC Updates by Canada Arts Connect

March marks the 5th anniversary of Canada Arts Connect! Woo!

Although we’re a little too busy to have a party to celebrate this year (perhaps next year or for our 10th we’ll throw a big bash!), I would still like to thank each and every one of you that has supported CAC along the way! It has been a tough road, but we’ve come so very far in our first five years and I’m incredibly excited about what’s ahead.

To those of you who have been with me since the beginning and to those who have just discovered us, THANK YOU from the entire Canada Arts Connect team!

If you’d like to find out more about how Canada Arts Connect started, be sure to check out The Story of Canada Arts Connect that I’ve recently popped up here.

As always, it has been and continues to be wonderful to connect with you!

Founder, CEO, Editor-in-Chief

CAC Welcomes our new advertising partner, Yelp! Check out their free suite of state of the art tools

February 14, 2013 in Articles, Featured by Canada Arts Connect

You probably know by now that Yelp is an important resource for finding and connecting with businesses all across Canada, and for reviewing what’s great and not so great in our local communities. But did you know that there is a free suite of state of the art tools on Yelp specifically for business owners? Whatever the size or character of your biz (make-up artist, theatre, non-profit, dance company, magician?) you can add it to Yelp, upload photos, and write a description that will help you show up in customer searches for the services you provide!

The last quarter saw a monthly average of 84 million unique visitors using Yelp to make buying decisions; spending a few minutes to put these free tools to work for you just makes sense (and dollars too, hopefully!). Put a personal face to your business by claiming the page, filling out your profile, responding to reviews and recommending other businesses you love. Watch your stats to see what’s working, and if you are in a city with Yelp Community Manager and an Elite Squad, you can even get in touch to see if there are ways to spotlight what you at special Elite Events and Yelper Parties like these recent shindigs in Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver!

Canadian Arts Jobs – 28/09/12

September 28, 2012 in Jobs by Desirée Ossandon

Hello!

Fonts are interesting, not only in themselves, but also in how people view them. Some people simply don’t notice fonts and couldn’t care less. Others are passionate about them. Seriously, don’t even get people started on Comic Sans ;)

But that leads me to our questions for today…

What fonts do you love/hate? Which do you use most often? And which do you use for what?

I’d love to hear your answers in the comments below (or share over Twitter & Facebook) and be sure to take a look at the list of great job opportunities below.

Have a wonderful day!

Desirée

Canadian Arts Jobs – 27/09/12

September 27, 2012 in Jobs by Desirée Ossandon

Hello!

Well, I’ve caught my first cold of the season and it’s a whopper! Snuffed nose, sore throat, and my head feels like a balloon. Of course, this comes on a day when a special little person in my life is celebrating their birthday, so it looks like I’ll be drinking lots of tea to make it through the celebrations.

Despite feeling ill and having a party on hand (don’t worry, it’s only the family party today, so I’m not spreading germs), I’ve still managed to pop up a job list for you. I hope it has the opportunity you’re looking for!

Have a wonderful day!

Friday Night Live Party at the ROM May 17, 2013
Museum adventures after dark. Dancing with dinosaurs. Drinking cocktails among relics while being offered a tasting from a collection of pop-up snack bars. These may not seem like the typical night out, but in an attempt to make a museum space more accessible, the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) has found a way to capture the […]

Book Review: a book of variations, by bpNichol May 14, 2013
Few Canadian poets have ever attained the level of reverence that bpNichol has earned. His creative output ranged from concrete poems and experimental fiction to small press ephemera and scripts for beloved kids’ shows Fraggle Rock and The Raccoons. While most readers are familiar with his most popular work, the nine-volume poetic epic The Martyrology (which […]
