There are four separate and distinct types of memberships within the Federation:
Supporting Active Associate Senior
A Supporting Membership is available to everyone who loves art and would like to learn more about artists, their work and the many events and courses happening in the artist community. It’s the perfect membership for collectors and those who want to support and participate in the culture of art in Canada. If you’re an artist who is interested in participating in juried shows and honing your skills, then perhaps you’re ready to apply for your Active Membership.
Once you've established yourself as a committed artist with consistent superior ability you can apply for your Signature status which includes the Associate Membership and then finally Senior Membership.
