Mission, Vision and Value Statements

As part of the exercise of formulating a Strategic Plan for 2024–2028 for the CEC, Mission, Vision and Value Statements were drafted to articulate and strengthen the organization’s commitment to the interests and needs of CEC members and the Canadian electroacoustic milieu.

Mission

To support the growth of a passionate and inspiring community of Canadian artists within a collaborative international network of creators, engaged listeners and devoted educators reflecting a diverse range of innovative electroacoustic practices.

Vision

To enrich and broaden awareness of the vibrant mosaic of electroacoustic art forms in Canada by sharing works to create bridges for international collaborations.

Values

Passion

Supporting artistic practice requires ongoing commitment and care. We believe this is best achieved through meaningful relationships that connect artists, their works, and arts organizations.

Empowerment and Community

We acknowledge that the vitality of a community is to be dependent on the empowerment of its constituent members within a mutually beneficial relationship. Give voice to an individual and the individual will speak on behalf of the community.

Sustained and Adaptive Support

We are committed to the long-term and far-reaching sustenance of the electroacoustic arts milieu and understand this can only be founded on innovative and forward-thinking actions implemented with critical self-awareness, reflection and flexibility, to develop and ensure listening, connection and mutual support.
