Did you know supporting living artists is real activism? It is one of the things fascists like to control & oppress, so supporting the arts is so important.
In times of AI especially.
It is the real economic engine we should invest more in.
Arts contribute massively to the local economy in jobs. More than mining, forestry, auto manufacturing, & real estate combined in Ontario, & every dollar invested by OAC generates $25 in other sources of revenue.
