General note:

Four conferences held in late 1972 and early 1973 - Direction West (Calgary), Direction Ontario (Toronto), Les Rencontres du Québec (Montréal) and Direction Atlantic (Halifax) - encouraged artists from across Canada to express their opinions on arts and culture policy. The opinions and findings were then incorporated into a briefing document on the subject that was presented to the federal and provincial governments. The Québec conference in particular drew significant media attention when the conference was taken over by activist artists, led by Armand Vaillancourt. The conference members overwhelmingly voted to demand separation and the formation of an independent Québec arts organization.This rejection of a national arts plan was embroiled with larger social debates on the sovereignty movement and Québécois language and cultural rights.
