Mission Statement:
"Art For All Canada, Inc., (AFAC) mission
is to bring works of art to
workplaces and public spaces - through
galleries and art shows
- at the lowest cost to the artist ".
We work with local artists and private / public sponsors to produce and
maintain changing original art collections for display in workplaces for
the pleasure of staff and visitors. 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 new and unique service
comes from Sheila J. Mitchell, artist and Vice President at
SoftMatch.com where she has been in charge of IT event logistics since
1989 and in charge of IT Research since 1983. 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. "We
have been matching buyers and
sellers in business markets for 25 years and now we are providing
artists with a much wider audience thanks to corporate sponsors who are
delighted to host galleries in their workplaces and public spaces".
Sheila says, "Art For All Canada
is a "win-win" for both the artists who get their work in front of a
wider audience and those who host AFAC
Art collections and enjoy viewing beautiful images".
The
Staff
Sheila is supported in all the business aspects of
running this new 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 (as you know, dogs sleep with one eye open). ;-)
