Studio City Rentals to Operate Showline Studios
FilmOntario would like to congratulate members Studio City Rentals on being the successful proponent in the City of Toronto’s search for an operator for Showline Studios. The results of the City’s RFP process were announced in a press release from CreateTO, the City’s new real estate agency, on August 13. Showline Studios includes 32,000 square feet of studio space and in the past has hosted productions such as the Oscar-award winning Spotlight and current CBC hit Kim’s Convenience. We can’t wait to see what great shows come out of Showline next!
Work In Culture MakingItWork Survey
MakingItWork is an exciting new research project taking an in-depth look at the experiences of cultural workers, artists, and organizations (both for-profit and not-for-profit) in Ontario's arts, culture, heritage and library sectors.
With this survey, Work in Culture is aiming to get to the heart of what it's like to be an artist, a cultural worker and/or operate an organization in our broader cultural sector.
The MakingItWork survey, developed by Nordicity, is confidential and should take less than 20 minutes to complete. The survey is available in both English and French, and is accessed via this link.
