@CdnHeritage you should be funding the artists directly and ideally both @Jason_Baerg and Kent Monkman should receive funding and compensation for all the time and effort wasted and the taxing amount of stress this kind of foolery puts on these artists!
After @PrideToronto provided the list of Indigenous communities partnering with the project, the $600,000 started to flow. Months after he cancelled involvement @CdnHeritage still believed Kent Monkman was part of the project.
Before the contribution agreement could be signed for the $600,000 grant, @CdnHeritage required details on the mobile Two-Spirit art exhibit, including which Indigenous communities had partnered with the project.
Pride provided a list of communities.
Did @PrideToronto double-dip the chip? Pride claimed a "fully executed" contract with Kent Monkman and raised $850,000 across two grants, even after Monkman cancelled his involvement in the project.
The day after @PrideToronto reported a "fully executed" contract with Kent Monkman, @CdnHeritage filed its approvals for the $600,000 grant, referencing both Kent Monkman and the @AFN_Updates
Monkman again left the project on April 29, 2019 because @PrideToronto would not send a contract.
Yet, 9 days later Pride filed a grant report indicating a "fully executed" contract with Monkman. The Pride Guide ad was included in this report.
