CARFAC BC relies on the resources of its members, and is run by volunteers. In the past CARFAC has been able to establish fair Contracts and Payment of reasonable artists fees for Exhibitions. Negotiated the illegal reproduction of artists work, and lobby for tax reform, etc.

The larger the membership of artists in British Columbia, we hold tremendous untapped power to actually change the conditions in which we live and work.
