If you've ever had an exhibition fee paid, or hope to have one, join CARFAC. Strength in numbers. Actors, film industry workers, musicians all have unions. This is as close as visual artists have and we need to link arms.

I'm not happy with the combative US vs Canada line because I know we have many friends in the US who want to work on the same global issues. In good faith.
