Artists are paid CARFAC fees for Artist Lectures and make use of our Resource Centre in presenting their work and methods.

The Resource Centre is an area of our gallery dedicated to increase access to the tools and materials of artistic research. will endeavor to maintain the Resource Centre and add to it on an ongoing basis as funding and resources permit. the Resource Centre serves our members and the general community in two distinct ways. Firstly, members have access to computer equipment [computer, scanner- both flat and slide, printer, burner, internet] that enables them to conduct research for professional development and prepare portfolios.
