The Arts Council of Ladysmith and District have asked artists who sell their work at the gallery for the social insurance numbers. Why ? Our accountant has informed us that we have to create a T4A for all artists at the request of the government .
SO on January 29th at 11am – T4A we will give you more info "Artists Taxes" with Elaine Layman
you can write off::
all art supplies
books/reference materials
accounting fees ( if they have a tax preparer)
commissions paid
Studio/Office in home - this is a percentage based expense so 100 sq feet studio in 1000 sq foot home = 10% of expenses. So mortgage interest, property taxes, municipal utilities, natural gas, heating, insurance

THE STORY:
A hilarious farce about an imagined meeting in Paris, 1897, between the famous theater divas Sarah Bernhardt and Eleonora Duse. The two actresses—who were the biggest and most temperamental stars of their day—were scheduled to perform back-to-back productions of the play The Lady of the Camellias by Alexandre Dumas. Duse's production will be performing in Bernhardt's theater, and the two women are in their own dressing rooms. The members of both acting companies expect huge fireworks. Into this tense situation comes Ivan, a young Russian anarchist who threatens to blow up everyone in the theater—especially the two divas—unless his comrades are released from prison.
Benoit Constant Coquelin, who is playing Cyrano de Bergerac, sneaks into the melee, and, in full costume, challenges Ivan to a duel. A rapier is no match for a gun and bomb, so it is theatrical dialogue they all must use to try and convince Ivan to let them go.
