Membership, South Okanagan Similkameen Chapter
Become a Member
Membership has two parts. First join the national Federation of Canadian Artists, then affiliate with the South Okanagan Similkameen Chapter. These are two separate memberships: national dues support the FCA, and chapter fees support your local chapter.

Supporting Membership$65 / year
Supporting membership is open to everyone and is where every member starts. You receive Art Avenue magazine and regular news, and can enter the calls that are open to all artists, but not the exhibitions for Exhibiting and Elected members.

Exhibiting $95 / year
Unlocks entry to juried exhibitions. Once you are a Supporting member you apply with a portfolio of your work, which is juried by the FCA. A $15 application fee applies, and on acceptance you pay the $30 difference to upgrade.
AFCA & SFCA $95 / year
Associate (AFCA) and Signature (SFCA) are elected status levels. Exhibiting members earn them by being accepted into juried exhibitions over time, then passing a peer jury. They are awarded, not purchased: dues stay the same as Exhibiting, and applying for Elected status costs $150.
