WHO WE ARE

The BFAA is a welcoming community of amazing artists, working in all styles of fine art media and at all levels.  We are a founding guild within the Art Gallery of Burlington, under the umbrella of Arts Burlington.  While we are one of the largest art guilds in Ontario, currently close to 200 strong, we remain a vibrant community of artists, working together for the benefit of all within the association.  Read more about our history.
 
The BFAA provides access to a unique facility with a working studio and multiple galleries, an opportunity to draw, paint or print alongside other artists on a weekly or monthly basis, and so many opportunities to exhibit that you will find it hard to keep up!
 
We are a friendly group and the best way to meet us and take advantage of the numerous BFAA opportunities is to get involved.
Here are some suggestions:

  • Exhibit your work at one of our venues, which include The Fireside Lounge at the AGB or The Hub at Burlington Centre for group and solo exhibitions, and group shows at the Burlington City Hall Gallery, along with exhibitions at sponsors’ business locations.

  • The BFAA Monthly Art Inspiration Meetings, held from September to June, offer face-to-face information about upcoming events and opportunities, excellent presentations and demos by leading professional Canadian and US artists free of charge every third Tuesday at 7:00 pm.

  • We also have social events throughout the year, including our holiday and summer pot luck dinners.

  • Take advantage of our BFAA studio time either as part of an existing group or as a space to work on your own.

  • Have your art featured on the BFAA website Member's Gallery.

  • Join our sketch group which meets every Tuesday. From September to June, we meet at 10:30 am to 12:30 pm in the Fine Arts Studio, and during the summer months of July and August the group meets at 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm.
