A Legacy of Art and Vision: Celebrating the Federation of Canadian Artists

The Federation of Canadian Artists (FCA) will transform Granville Island into a hub of creativity, culture, and connection with ‘A Legacy of Art and Vision’—a celebration of over eight decades shaping Canada’s visual arts landscape.
