Member Benefits

CARFAC Ontario members directly support and contribute to the collective voice of visual and media artists in the province, and on the federal level.

Members enable our advocacy work which has, and continues to, play a central role in advancing the practice and profession of visual and media arts both in Ontario, and across the country. We work and collaborate with other provincial and national arts organizations and associations, and connect directly with elected officials and their staff to inform the development of sound cultural and economic policy.

In addition, members can access a variety of services, supports, and engagement opportunities that are tailored to visual and media artists.
