The closure of Canadian Conference of the Arts is MAJOR loss for arts advocacy in this country. The staff and Board of Trustees of the Kamloops Art Gallery salute your diligence in trying to keep the doors open to this vital organization.

Quelle tristesse... Il ne nous reste qu'à espérer un front commun du milieu des arts et de la culture pour défendre l'existence de la CCA et trouver une solution pour la remettre sur les rails, autrement. Je félicite l'équipe qui s'est démenée jusqu'à la fin et a tenté par tous les moyens d'empêcher la fermeture. Public, organismes, artistes, intervenants culturels: que pouvons-nous faire, ensemble ? Des solutions créatives à l'horizon ? By: Quill & Quire » Canadian Conference of the Arts shutting down after 67 years

So disappointing to see the art and cultural sector continue to be under siege. The services and integrity of The Canadian Conference of the Arts will be sorely missed. By: Joyce Millar
A very sad day and a great loss to Canada and the cultural community. The CCA has been the voice and champion of all of us and they deserve our heartfelt thanks for being there for the last 47 years.
Let's hope that we can all find a way to bring back this vital resourse for Canadian culture. The first step is to hold the Harper government accountable. This government obviously has a very dangerous lack of respect for our cultural institutions - and no vision for the future. Very sad indeed!
