Led by DTRC Founder Joysanne Sidimus, the Senior Artists' Research Project (SARP) is an unprecedented collaboration among influential leaders from all sectors of the Canadian arts community.

Together, the group is conducting the first-ever assessment of the situation and needs of Canada's senior artists -- in areas such as artistic activity, health care, housing, retirement, financial issues, community connections and social networks.

The research conducted by SARP will help us understand artists' needs, and design effective programs and services to meet those needs.
