Awarded ‘Active Member’ Status by the Federation of Canadian Artists
I received some good news in the email today. I have been awarded Active Member status with the Federation of Canadian Artists. Earlier this month, I completed my submission, which included 10 recent works. Per the FCA website:
Active Status is granted if the jury believes that the majority of the works submitted could reasonably be expected to be juried into a FCA exhibition. This means that at least 6 out of the 10 submitted images need to be suitable for FCA shows. Remember that the FCA operates at a national level and you will be competing with visual artists throughout Canada. Competition is tough and standards are high. This also means that receiving your Active status or Active Status of Sculpture and being accepted into an exhibition means that much more.
If you are interested, the 10 pieces I submitted are shown below.
