Central Fraser Valley Graphic Guild
Artists of all levels working in a diversity of mediums
The Central Fraser Valley Graphic Guild was formed in 1977 by students of the printmaking department of the Fraser Valley College (now UFV). Their initial vision was to promote and inform the public about printmaking, as well as providing opportunities for its members to display their art work within the community.
Now the Graphic Guild has expanded to welcome artists of all levels and mediums. Our goal is to create an encouraging and supportive space where everyone can do the art they love, share knowledge, and learn from one another.
Whether you want to become a member or not, we welcome your questions and ideas. Let us help you connect with the Fraser Valley Art world and figure out how to move forward in your own creative journey.
Current Shows
The Central Fraser Valley Graphic Guild (established in 1977) is a group of local artists living in BC’s Fraser Valley whose purpose since its time of origin was to promote art in our community and offer support to other artists. Artists of the CFV Graphic Guild come from a variety of educational and artistic backgrounds, levels of expertise and style, which has contributed to an enriching and stimulating artistic environment.
