Canadian Artists’ Representation / Le Front des artistes canadiens (CARFAC) seeks to honour a professional artist from Ontario, who has made a significant contribution as an advocate for the Canadian visual arts community. This contribution may be national or regional in scope, and is a wonderful opportunity for a local arts advocate to gain national recognition and thanks for their work.
This year, the National Visual Arts Advocate Award will be presented during our national AGM and conference, to be held September 7 to 9 in Ottawa. The winner will receive a craft-based artwork, made by an artist from Ontario.
