Back to EpisodesWhy Canadian Arts Organizations Can't Get a Credit Card And the Case for a Bank for the Arts

Description
Theatres, symphonies, and galleries are the backbone of Canadian culture, so why can't many of them get a basic corporate credit card or line of credit? Jamie Bennett, consultant at Lord Cultural Resources, joins Bruce Sellery to expose the gap between arts organizations and Canada's financial services sector, explain why it's largely a problem of education and business language, and make the case for why a dedicated "bank for the arts" or at least a specialized banking vertical could change everything.
