Umm, what is an artist?
The International Artists Association defines a Professional Artist as someone who earns a living through art making; or possesses a diploma in an area considered to be within the domain of fine arts; or teaches art in a school or art or applied art, or whose work is often seen by the public or is frequently or regularly exhibited; or is recognized as an artist by the consensus of opinion among other professional artists.

I heard CARFAC BC members get a discount on an annual Geist subscription, is that true?
Sure is. Current CARFAC BC members get 46 % off the cover price of the locally produced gem. Geist editors Stephen and Mary also came to one of our pub nights. CARFAC BC is pleased to offer this discount, but wants all members to know that we are not profiting from this collaboration. We love GEIST and you should too. To get your discount, pay via paypal below or fill in our membership form.
I would like to give CARFAC BC a donation, how do I do that?
You do? Gee, thanks. There’s a donation page underneath the “Join Now” page above. Thank you!
