About
AVAC
AVAC promotes social responsibility in health, education, conservation, and the law. To achieve this we collaborate and work with key stakeholders, promoting the welfare of visual artists and or visual artists organizations/collectives.
A primary ambition of AVAC is further education opportunities for visual artists and or visual artists organizations/collectives through coordinating residency program options, master class training and other education-related platforms.
By our engagements with relevant partners we strive to support elderly, disabled visual artists and artists of all age groups undergoing mental health issues.
AVAC will advocate the importance of the role of the visual artist in society with information campaigns so that artists will engage with an informed general public.
