Join a Chapter

The Federation of Canadian Artists has ten separate FCA Chapters operating in Canada.  They are listed below.  These Chapters were formed by local FCA members to further the experience of art in their respective communities, and to share their art through shows, and other experiences. Some of the key benefits cited by Chapter Members are:

 1)   The camaraderie, being able to meet other FCA members and likeminded
        people.
 2)   Improving your work, being able to take advantage of Workshops, Demo's and
        Critiques organized by the Chapter.
 3)   Being able to show in quality juried shows locally.
 4)   Have the advantage of being able to count two more shows per year towards
        your signature Status.
 5)   Strong regional networking.

 Although Chapters are separate entities and have autonomy in how they govern their business, all FCA members belonging to Chapters follow the policies, bylaws and artistic standards of the Federation of Canadian Artists.  For more information on how Chapters operate or to form a new Chapter please read the Chapter Resource Manual  or contact the Chapter Liaison. If you are interested in joining an existing Chapter please check the following list for the location nearest you.  

Even though Chapters are self-formed and independent from the FCA, they are still expected to adhere to the very important guidelines that have been set up for the their continued success and benefit. The following is a list of the information that is required from the Chapters in a timely fashion. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact the Chapter Liaison, Marney Rose Edge, marneyroseedge@shaw.ca or 604-525-0706.
