Thank you for joining us at the 9th Annual Artists for Conservation Festival presented by RE/MAX Agents of the Lower Mainland.
With deep gratitude to all AFC exhibiting artists and the nearly 40 AFC artists who joined us in person, many of whom gave demos of their work during the event. A special thanks to our sponsors, partners, patrons, volunteers and colleagues for making this event possible year-after-year.
We are proud to feature the world's top conservation-themed art exhibit at our flagship event each year. If you missed #AFCFestival2019, it's not too late to buy art and support conservation.
Our 2019 Festival was hosted by VanDusen Botanical Garden in partnership with the Vancouver Park Board and Vancouver Botanical Garden Association. This year was extra special with a host of activities outdoors
in the beautiful gardens.
Over 700 students participated in our Silent Skies Youth Education program and 50 students had their artworks included in the student mural alongside the Silent Skies Mural replica installation in the gardens. Many of the students visited the AFC Festival to view the mural.
