AFC's Annual Exhibit of Nature in Art
OPENS SEPTEMBER 22, 2022
The Artists for Conservation Festival 2022, presented by RE/MAX Agents of the Lower Mainland, is returning to Vancouver from September 22-25 at VanDusen Botanical Garden..
Featured at the event is AFC's annual juried "International Exhibit of Nature in Art" - the world's top conservation-themed art exhibit and sale. The exhibit offers a rare opportunity for art collectors to buy original artwork by internationally acclaimed artists and directly support conservation work. The exhibit will feature 90 original paintings and sculptures for sale. At least 40% of proceeds from artwork sales benefits conservation and environmental education, and each artwork is dedicated to supporting a conservation organization of the artist's choice. See who's been selected for the exhibit this year.
The entire exhibit will also be presented as a Virtual Exhibit online, also opening on September 22.
Each year since 2008, as a companion to the exhibit, AFC publishes a harcover book featuring the artworks from the year's exhibit. The annual exhibit features approximately 200 artworks selected from submissions by Signature Members of Artists for Conservation. These are featured in AFC's annual book and virtual exhibit online. Of these, approximately 1/2 are selected for display in AFC's live exhibit.
