"The Chinese Canadian Artists Federation in Vancouver established in April 11, 1993 . Since its inception, over 450 visual artists have joined the Federation. At present there are over 250 active members including Chinese ink & brush, oil, watercolor, mixed media painters, calligraphers, seal carvers, graphic designers, sculptors, potters, photographers. They come from China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and from other places populated by ethnic Chinese. Some, who are not Chinese, have also joined because of their interest in Chinese art. Most of the members have settled in Vancouver. Whether they are world-renowned artists or aspiring artists, they are bound together by a common interest: that of promoting Chinese art and culture. The CCAFV serves as a support group for new Chinese immigrants in the visual arts field, introducing them to more established local artists and helping them to merge into mainstream society. | "The Chinese Canadian Artists Federation in Vancouver established in April 11, 1993 .
