FCA-COC Monthly Meetings

Our next meeting will be on Monday, March 10th, 2025 at 6:30 pm.  It will be at the Seniors Community Hall (1353 Richter Street, Kelowna). This will be an in-person meeting only.

Ever wonder why one painting gets into an FCA show and another is declined? On Monday, March 10^th, Laurie Koss SFCA and Kit Bell AFCA will be sharing their expertise as jurors to provide you with some answers. 

They will “score” 15 paintings on the FCA’s scale of 1 to 7 and then explain why that mark was awarded to each painting. This is super opportunity to see the thought process behind the jurying of art shows.
