ArtistProducerResource.com is an open-source encyclopedia of knowledge, resources, tools, and practices for producing independent performance work in Canada (starting with a focus on Toronto). The landscape of performance-making is changing, leading many artists to produce their own projects and pushing companies towards project-based work. Hosted by Generator, ArtistProducerResource.com is a site made by artists, for artists, that broadens the scope of instruction and knowledge-sharing in the community, and provides a platform for new ideas and practices to be shared. At Generator, we believe information is the spark of confidence and creativity. ArtistProducerResource.com offers the basic information that artist producers need to make smart producing decisions that best serve their production, artists, audiences, and community.
