The Canadian Artists Network is thrilled to be bringing Creativity Forever [formerly Maintaining Creativity] back for its ninth year from October 28 to November 1, 2024. Sharing perspectives on how creators maintain vibrant artistic careers while surmounting the challenges of ageing, this year’s event will feature speakers from visual art, theatre, dance, film, music and journalism streams.

Three engaging chapters, spaced over the three days of the conference, will focus on the physical and mental health benefits of creativity, how the ageing process and other circumstances impact our creative process over the years, and the importance of mentoring and intergenerational collaboration.

The conference opens with legendary Canadian actor and singer [and CAN board member] Tom Jackson delivering the land acknowledgement and a presentation of his music video I’m Not Saying, I’m Just Saying.
