Welcome!
We are FCA Toronto, a chapter of the Federation of Canadian Artists (FCA), and a not-for-profit arts organization consisting of professional artists working in a variety of traditional media.
Our primary mission is to offer exhibition opportunities to our artists, to promote their work, and to advance the knowledge and appreciation of art and culture in our area.
If you are a professional artist wanting to gain exposure and recognition of your work, consider joining the national FCA first and then our chapter FCA Toronto. As an FCA Toronto artist, you will have exclusive access to chapter exhibition opportunities, discounts for workshops, art chats, twice-monthly eNewsletters, six Art Avenue publications, and more…
If you are an artist living anywhere in Canada, FCA Toronto offers you an exciting opportunity to gain national exposure and to reach potential collectors with our Open Online exhibition. This annual winter show is juried by Signature members of the FCA.
If you are not an artist but an enthusiastic supporter of the arts nonetheless, we invite you to sign up for our mailing list. We will then be able to send you news about FCA Toronto’s artists, our upcoming exhibitions and workshops, plus new art resources and techniques we’d like to share.
