IMPORTANT UPDATE: A revised 2018 Artist Prospectus has been posted with revised dates including a 3-week extension on the AFC annual exhibit intake deadline. The application deadline for Art Expo booth space has also been extended.
Artwork from the 2017 art exhibit was safely returned to Vancouver just prior to Christmas. We began the large task of return shipping that artwork in mid-January. We are making good progress and are shipping out in batches of 10-15 per week. Given the size of the show, t
his process will likely last several more weeks. If you have not yet received yours, and require it back urgently, please send a note to [email protected] and we'll do our best to prioritize its return. Otherwise, thank you to everyone for your support and patience in what has been our largest and most complex exhibit undertaking yet.
If you have not already seen it, visit AFC's Facebook photo album for photos of the past event. Dates for our next exhibit in China will be confirmed once we have received the necessary government approvals.
