Our studies highlights the need for artists to break their isolation and meet each other more often to network and discuss on their artistic practice and to showcase and sell their work. Indeed, opportunities to market and diffuse their work are lacking, and CNACA wants to fill in that gap by organizing yearly gatherings for artists to promote their work and meet each other. The gathering would take place in the shape of a traveling Cultural Festival, including a trade show, in which Cree artists would be valorized and recognized through an Awards Ceremony.
Also CNACA will organize an annual trip to a professional national/international tradeshow. CNACA will select 1-3 different Cree authentic art each year to focus on and market in the tradeshow industry. Past trade shows include: Salon des metiers d’arts (Montreal), Canadian Aboriginal Festival (Toronto), Home and Cottage Show (Montreal).
