Artists for Conservation
Received congratulations for having TWO artworks selected for the Prestigious Artist's for Conservation 13th Annual Exhibition. This year, 200 artworks by 168 artists from 20 countries were chosen for AFC’s 13th annual exhibit, celebrating artistic excellence in the depiction of nature, raising awareness of conservation issues and supporting organizations dedicated to them. 80 artworks by 74 artists have been selected for inclusion in the live exhibit opening this fall. The live exhibit will premier at the Artists for Conservation Festival at VanDusen Botanical Gardens in Vancouver, Canada from October 1-4. Following the opening, most artwork will then tour internationally. I opted for the Virtual Online Exhibition and will also be included in their catalogue that tours with the exhibit (saves shipping costs, but if one of the artworks sells, will need to ship).
Artists for Conservation is a Canadian based international non-profit. AFC represents 500 artists from 30 countries,in the nature/wildlife art genre,( juried membership) who are committed to conservation. Many of the world's most recognized names in the field are actively involved, such as Bateman.
