About Associate and Signature Memberships

Once you've established yourself as a committed artist with consistent, superior ability you can apply for your Associate or Signature status. There are two levels of signature status, the AFCA (Associate) status, and SFCA (Signature) status. Standards are very high for these levels of membership and jurying is done once a year in Vancouver, applications are due in February.

Associate Signature Membership

Associate Members, in addition to the benefits of Active Members, are granted permission to use the letters AFCA after their names and are eligible to enter the annual Spilsbury Medal Show. With recognition comes responsibility. Associate Signature Members are expected to maintain a consistently high standard of work and to perform “jury” duty for the FCA on an as needed basis.
