Do artists retire? Does creativity diminish with age? Guy Maddin & Canadian Artists Network

The Canadian Artists Network is the voice of Canada’s elder professional artists – across all disciplines. It offers programs that enable artists to remain relevant, connected, informed, and motivated. Artists don’t retire. Their creativity and skills do not diminish with age. Creativity lives forever. The Canadian Artists Network raises awareness of the value of these artists as resources for the future and role models for emerging talent. We speak to a mentorship pair, through the Network, mentee Sonia Gemmiti, a writer, director, producer, and her mentor, celebrated Canadian director, Guy Maddin. But first, host Mark Franklin is joined by Canadian Artists Network Executive Director, Scott Walker, about the career and life implication of the Network, and his own broadcasting career story.
