Virtual Festival Program
The 2023 Artists for Conservation Festival brings several virtual elements online, making the event more accessible and available. For those who can't make the in-person event at VanDusen Botanical Garden or Maplewood Conservancy, join us online. AFC's virtual program features: Facebook Live artist demos, documentary films, studio visits, musical performances, a 360-degree Virtual Nature Art Walk and, of course, AFC's Virtual Exhibit. The 2023 Program will be posted in early September.
