organizations don’t see themselves as institutions

Lauren Wetmore

• 4:12 PM, Sep 13 (CEST)

New

I'd like to acknowledge and close the time gap here by adding something like "... organizations were historically conceived of an an alternative to, and so do not need themselves as, institutions."
gain

Lauren Wetmore

• 4:15 PM, Sep 13 (CEST)

New

Can we say "personal subsistence or gain."? Because the issue is rarely profit (though not never), but rather liveable working conditions.

FCG

Lauren Wetmore

• 6:15 PM, Aug 8 (CEST)
we should set a precedent here: should it be "FCG" of "the FCG"?

Josh Schwebel

• 10:23 AM, Aug 13 (CEST)
I think it is usually referred to either as FCG or The Forest City Gallery, rarely The FCG...

the arts councils

Lauren Wetmore

• 4:29 PM, Sep 13 (CEST)

New

I want to suggest specific language here, but I need help. Can we say "federal and provincial arts funding councils"? (and is that exactly what you mean by "the arts councils"?)
when a request for an increase

Lauren Wetmore

• 4:34 PM, Sep 13 (CEST)

New

I am missing a bit of the details from the first draft about arcs asking for budget increases. I think putting one sentence back in here would be helpful to differentiate between a failed grant request and a failed request for an increase in structural funding.
From the funders’ side, Aarts councils have no obligation to fund every application they receive, nor must they match the requested budget, so it would seem almost childish to blame the funders for low staff wages at artist-run centres.

Lauren Wetmore

• 4:45 PM, Sep 13 (CEST)

New

I know exactly what you mean, but I don't think that the argument tracks correctly in the way it is worded here.
Within these relations of direct contact with the artist-run centre, everyone is just doing their best to manage with insufficient budgets.

Lauren Wetmore

• 4:46 PM, Sep 13 (CEST)

New

Again, I am not totally following here. Maybe it is the phrase "direct contact" that is tripping me up.

upending

Lauren Wetmore

• 6:28 PM, Sep 13 (CEST)

New

increasing?
Strangled operating funding also makes it much harder to obtain an increase in already-obtained operating funds. To whit, FCG receives operating funding, but these funds remain too low to adequately compensate their staff, and the centre has not received an increase in over six years despite the pandemic and inflation upending real costs.

This reminds me that we need to agree on how we will refer to the pandemic throughout the book. "The Coronavirus Pandemic"?
