"Art For All Canada's (AFAC) mission
is to help
artists to develop their skills through educational programs and to
help them to market their works without paying commissions
- through galleries and art shows - at
the lowest cost to the artist and the lowest cost to the buyer ".
|
AFAC works with local artists and
sponsors to produce and maintain changing original art collections
for display in public places for the pleasure of all. These art
collections, which can vary in size and theme provide a continually
changing supply of beautiful images to adorn selected walls / display
cases.
The idea for this unique service comes from
Sheila J. Mitchell, herself an artist and Vice President at
SoftMatch.com where she has been in charge of IT event logistics
since 1989. Sheila has served 4 years as a volunteer President of
North York Visual Artists and is a member of and volunteer with
various other art groups and associations in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
According to Sheila, "Artists are always
looking for places to show their work but often gallery space is
limited and commission fees too high. Art
For All Canada charges no commissions to artists and
arranges for their work to be seen and enjoyed in business and public
settings, thanks to our sponsors."
The
Staff
Sheila is supported in all the business aspects of
running this ART service by husband and business partner Alwyn; in
graphics design by elder daughter Katherine; the web workers at three
fingers productions and,
last but not least, by Charlie, their beloved Labrador Retriever dog, as
Chief of Security, of course.
