CARFAC,NATIONAL AND CARCC BASIC INFORMATION

Organizational Umbrella

CARFAC Ontario is one of six regional affiliates that fall under the umbrella of CARFAC, along with CARFAC British Columbia, CARFAC Saskatchewan, CARFAC Manitoba, Visual Arts Newfoundland and Labrador (VANL), and CARFAC Maritimes. CARFAC National is the national organization that develops much of CARFAC policy, advocates on a federal level for artists’ rights, and develops the CARFAC Minimum Fee Schedule.
CARFAC often partners with a number of other, separate organizations such as Canadian Artists' Representation Copyright Collective (CARCC). CARCC licenses and administers copyright for visual and media artists in Canada. RAAV (Le regroupement des artistes en arts visuals du Quebec) is an organization with a similar mandate to CARFAC but which works exclusively within Quebec, a province with a very different set of legislation pertaining to professional artists.



CARFAC NationalFounded in 1968, CARFAC National has worked for over three decades on the legal and economic issues facing artists. All CARFAC Ontario members are automatically members of CARFAC National, which entitles them to various additional membership benefits including the International Artist Card, discounts on Certificates of Canadian Origin, and free membership in CARCC, the Canadian Artists’ Representation Copyright Collective.
