Blyth Centre learns funding strategies Province studies future of arts Recently the Blyth Centre for the Arts and the Stratford Festival met with members of the Special Committee for the Arts, an organization to advise art funding strategies for the next decade. The committee was established in April of this year by the Ontario Minister of Citizen- ship and Culture. Chairman R. W.

Meetings have been held with ministry agencies such as the Royal Ontario Museum, the Art Gallery of Ontario, the On- tario Science Centre, TVOntario and the On- tario Arts Council. They have also met with over 20 of the arts service organizations such as the Ontario Crafts Council, the On- tario Association of Art Galleries, the Toronto Theatre Alliance and the Periodical Writers Association of Canada. In Toronto there have been meetings with the National Ballet, the Canadian Opera Company, the Toronto Symphony Or- chestra, the Young People's Theatre, the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir, the O'Keefe Centre, Centre Stage, Roy Thomson Hall, Arts Scarborough, Arts Etobicoke, the Metropolitan Toronto Cultural Affairs Com- mittee and the Harbourfront Corporation. There have been four public symposia so far - Thunder Bay, Kingston, Sudbury and London, where invited guests were asked to give the committee and the audience their views. One of the six speakers in Thunder Bay, former Mayor and great friend of the arts, Dusty Miller, had this to say about, "The Appropriate Areas for Government Involve- ment in the Development of the Arts in the ,80's "I would hope the provincial government would continue to support what it now does and to formulate new policies to increase ac- cess scess to all torms of artistic ettort throughout the region of Northwestern Ontario." In London, Robert Meffin commented, "The thoughtful responses that the commit- tee has been making to questions posed to it, give me a lot more confidence, that what we are seeing is in fact a genuine response from the province to a real challenge, and I hope that you challenge the province to respond to what I think are some real, critical issues." The Committee chairman held a number of evening meetings with six different groups of artists, 50 in all, whose names had been recommended by the Ontario Arts Council. Included were, video artist Ric Amis, writer Graeme Gibson, visual artists Malcolm Rain and Ian Carr -Harris, photographer Joyce Salloum, composer Harry Freedman and musician Ezra Schabas.

But for some people it becomes a tragedy when they check their insurance policies. In many cases, inflation has reduced the value of their claims to a fraction of what they should be. And in too many other cases, even an up-to-date policy doesn't cover full replacement value. To fmd out where you stand you should talk to one of the I.BAO. insurance brokers listed below Is there a difference between an broker and an agent? Yes there is. An agent works directly for one insurance company. An LBAO. broker is independent and unbiased. Your I.B.AO. broker shops around for value, recommends the right coverage at the right price and makes sure your interests are professionally represented when you need to make a claim. So call your broker and ask if he or she is a member of the I.BAO. 1 There's More To Insurance Thanlust a 1bBcy Call the I.BAO- broker in your neighbourhood. 1NSURANOE BROKERS ASSOCIATION ONTARIO' CLINTON Gasser-Knoele Insurance 14 Isaac Street 482-9747 BLYTH Elliott Insurance Queen Street 523-4481
