I have been a member of the Federation of Canadian Artists for a few years now.
"The Federation of Canadian Artists (FCA) is a registered charity founded in 1941 by professional Canadian working artists including Group of Seven luminaries... It has members throughout Canada and Chapters in Alberta and B.C.. The FCA is dedicated to raising artistic standards by stimulating participants to greater heights of knowledge and achievement by offering what is believed to be the first completely artists' sponsored gallery in Canada. Currently the Federation is the only national-level visual arts organization that manages their own full-time art gallery."
The other painting I submitted, The Royal, was accepted but just into the on-line show - it will not be on display at the Federation Gallery on Granville Island. It still counts toward my Signature status though, which is nice.
In the past the Federation had on-line critiques, done by signature members, but that did not happen this year for some reason. So I go back to relying on my family for feedback. They are great, but often too generous or sometimes too vague - they aren't really sure what is wrong, know something is bugging them.
