Notes

1. From 1975 to 1978, CEAC was a venue that supported the production and exhibition of avant-garde art in Toronto, and served as a literal center for the developing downtown Toronto art scene. An editorial of CEAC’s publication STRIKE in May 1978 condoned the violent tactics of Italian left-wing group Red Brigades. Following this, a media firestorm erupted and federal and provincial art councils cut funding to CEAC, resulting in its closure.
