Art, Heritage, and Cultural Exchange Between Canada and the World

A national home for artists working across cultures

Canada National Artists Association (加拿大藝術家協會) supports visual artists, calligraphers, and cultural organizations through exhibitions, education, and heritage programming. Our work spans international exhibitions, art lectures, calligraphy and seal-carving research, artist exchange, and the presentation of intangible cultural heritage.

The Association is home to several branch bodies, including an Architectural Arts Chapter, an Institute of Calligraphy & Seal-Carving Research, an Institute of Fine Arts Research, a Calligraphy & Painting Training School, a plein-air sketching base, and a calligraphy/painting mounting studio. It regularly holds literary gatherings, a Double Ninth Festival calligraphy & painting brush meet, and New Year couplet-writing events, among others. Its founding goals are twofold: first, to establish itself within Canada’s art community while engaging artists worldwide through a regular international calligraphy and painting exhibition, building a world-class art fair; and second, to develop an art museum — envisioned as a modern, multi-purpose building combining art collection, exhibition, and auction functions with independent spaces for art education, conferences and performances, meetings, and cultural tourism and dining.
