Join us for this September 2014 for a one-of-kind event on British Columbia’s conservation landscape – the first BC Conservation Symposium, featuring a panel discussion and special presentations by some of BC’s top conservation leaders! The Symposium will provide a special opportunity for delegates (business and conservation leaders, academics, and students) to network, learn first-hand about key projects, initiatives and strategies of BC’s leading conservation NGOs, and to discuss current challenges and opportunities in BC’s conservation field. http://festival.artistsforconservation.org/programs/bc-conservation-symposium
AFC Flag Expedition Program:
Launched in 2005, this program facilitates the field study and artistic rendering of endangered species or habitats deserving of greater public attention. AFC artist members can apply for fellowship grants to explore and document one of the world’s remaining true wildernesses and to observe and portray the rare and endangered species that live in those places. AFC Website:
The AFC website features several thousand original and limited edition nature artworks with over 5,000 original paintings and over 500 original sculptures. It is the largest and most visited site of its kind, receiving up to half a million hits per month. Art for Conservation Program:
This online program provides artists with a platform to gain exposure for their artwork and allows them to earmark a percentage of any work they sell for a conservation organization of their choice. The program has over 100 conservation beneficiaries with Artists’ commitments worth over $13 million US. In addition, AFC holds an annual juried art exhibit live and virtual, and facilitates the AFC Conservation Artist of the Month Award and the Simon Combes Conservation Artist Award.
