With Popstart we wish to start a swell of popular support for interdisciplinary art. It is necessary and urgent for
artists to organize themselves and to exchange information regarding their artistic practice, as well as the problems and challenges of
production and dissemination of interdisciplinary creation, which resemble each
other from one end of the country to the other. We dream that this too big country of ours finally becomes navigable for interdisciplinary creation.
Thanks to a grant from the Canada Council for the Arts, we are building a website. In it, we would like to include as many interdisciplinary artists, production companies and artist-run-centres interested in this sector, as possible. We invite you to become a part of our network, and to have the opportunity to promote your work on the Popstart website.
Each organization or individual will have one page and the possibility of a link to their own website, if one exists. If you are interested in participating, we ask that you please send us one photograph to represent you as well as a one-page summary of your work and/or that of your organization ˆ in both English and French if possible. Unfortunately, we cannot afford the costs of translation, and prefer to leave you the delicate task of translating your text, in order to ensure its integrity. We ask that you send us this material by September 30th, 2003.
We are also looking for someone interested in designing and creating our website.

Three alley kittens from the Jeanne Mance- du Parc area are looking for a home.
Pedigree : Mother ; calico, completely savage. Father ; Absentee(!)
They live for the moment under porches.
These kittens are irresistible (two have long hair and one has short) but they can't survive a winter outside.
