A research report by Rachael Van Fossen commissioned prepared for the Multidisciplinary Workgroup of the Canada Council for the Arts.

This research project into Canada Council’s history of funding for multi- and cross-disciplinary arts activity began in December 2005 when the Multidisciplinary Workgroup, led by Claude Schryer of the Inter-Arts Office, undertook a mandate 'to analyze and review historical documentation [and to] identify gaps, crossovers, good practices and the interweaving with other discourses,' and to look at 'the potential impact of multi-disciplinary practice on Canada Council for the Arts’ structures.'
