The Hub’s network consists of a number of individuals—our “affiliates”—whose expertise and creative practices come together to inform our work across several policy issues. Our model of collaboration is informed by the principles of equity, respect, peer support, and mutual benefit. We work with artists, researchers, and policymakers who are attuned to the needs of communities, who are invested in exploring solutions for the future of Canada’s arts and culture sector, and whose own research and advocacy objectives can be enriched through collaboration with the Hub.
