Our 50 year history
And Counting!
The Alberta Community Art Clubs Association (ACACA) is a non-profit, charitable organization founded in 1968 under the counsel of the late Professor Harry Wohlfarth from the University of Alberta’s Faculty of Extension Programs.
The ACACA is an important component for visual artists providing exhibiting, promoting networking, and fostering artistic rewards for amateur and professional artists from every corner of the province. We offer an e-newsletter 6 times a year to maintain communication with our many clubs and members; in 2018 the 50th Anniversary History book was unveiled.
The Association reaches out to painters, illustrators, sculptors, digital, fibre and multimedia artists, many who work in the isolation of smaller communities and sparsely populated regions, to invite them to take advantage of workshops, gallery exhibitions, and scholarship opportunities.
As a non-profit, charitable organization we endeavor to increase public awareness, support and appreciation for our visual art and recognition for all levels of members throughout Alberta.
Special Thanks to Our Sponsors
The Alberta Community Art Clubs Association gratefully acknowledges the ongoing financial support of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts and the sponsorship of CARFAC Alberta.
The fund-raising efforts of our members through regular casino events have allowed ACACA to facilitate ongoing success for our visual artists.
