The Canadian Artists Network [CAN]&nbsp;is dedicated to protecting a precious resource: the accumulated knowledge, wisdom, talent, and experience of Canada’s senior artists.&nbsp;Artists don’t retire. It is simply not in their DNA. The creative gene does not shut off at 65…or 75 or 85. Creativity Lives Forever.&nbsp;But older artists struggle to maintain their careers in the face of technological change and ageism, the ‘last acceptable form of prejudice.’CAN is committed to ensuring that senior professional artists live in an inclusive world where they can continue to pursue their careers and serve as role models for the next generation. CAN offers programs and services that enable artists to remain relevant, connected, informed, and motivated.&nbsp;CAN is dedicated to supporting, celebrating, and inspiring these senior artistic voices through its advocacy work and programs.&nbsp;Founded in 2011,&nbsp;CAN offers a suite of programs, including webinars, Online Salons or OnSalons&nbsp;[our virtual networking sessions,] and our flagship Artist to Artist&nbsp;Mentoring Program that has connected more than 300 artists across Canada since 2014. Mentors are paid for this transfer of knowledge, and we also cover expenses of mentees. We have distributed more than $450,000 in fees and expenses since the program launched.CAN is seeking prospective board members who are enthusiastic about joining a working board that meets virtually at the beginning of each month. An understanding of the arts is important, and a knowledge of fundraising would be extremely welcome.If you are interested in joining our organization, please send an email expressing your interest and board experience, if any. If you don’t have any board experience, we would like to know how you feel you can help our Community of artists. Please include your resume. <a href="http://www.CanArtNet.ca" target="_blank">www.CanArtNet.ca</a>
