Since 2000, FADO celebrates Canada's senior performance artists with this multi-faceted series. Featured artists are asked to create a major new work, which is followed by a (text and video) publication documenting the artist's history.

Canadian Performance Art Legends has honoured:

2000: Margaret Dragu (Vancouver, British Colombia)
2004: Tanya Mars (Toronto, Ontario)
2006: Alain-Martin Richard (Québec)
