Central Fraser Valley Graphic Guild
Artists of all levels working in a diversity of mediums from the Fraser Valley, British Columbia, Canada
The Central Fraser Valley Graphic Guild was formed in 1977 by students of the printmaking department of the Fraser Valley College (now UFV) in the beautiful province of British Columbia, Canada. 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.
