"With accessible support, I was able to get through a time of distress and to pursue my profession."

"For the first time in my life, I was able to afford to consult and seek help without going into debt and adding more stress to my life."

"Today, time seems lighter and the hours more pleasant. Thank you for your support. I'll go and write in peace."

"This help is greatly appreciated; it allows me to breathe a little, to get back on my feet following a difficult period and, above all, to continue working in the arts. Thank you to the Artists' Fundation, for its mission, which is essential to the cultural ecosystem."

"We'd like to thank you so much for the help we've received on two occasions. You literally allowed us to put butter on our bread! Thanks to you, we've been able to keep our heads above water and continue working on our projects."

"In my opinion, few cultural workers can afford a lawyer who will be able to accompany and guide us through any legal concerns affecting our well-being. I was reassured by the legal support I received."

"Personally, without the financial help of the Foundation, I humbly confess that my morale would be at an all-time low. This financial support was seen as a gift from heaven."

"If there's one good thing about this pandemic, it's that it has brought to light the precarious situation in which artists work, and the fragility of the cultural industry in Quebec. The donations distributed by the Artists's Fundation have enabled me to cover my basic needs while my portfolio seeks to recover from cancelled and postponed contracts."
