Vancouver Social Recap

The first ARCS Social in Canada was held Oct. 6, 2016 in Vancouver, BC.  The 13 attendees had a great time, and there was plenty of enthusiasm for the ARCS conference being held in the city in 2017. The winner of the ARCS membership was Jenny Wilson, Vancouver Art Gallery.

The t-shirt/apron winner was Chris Kukura from Denbigh Fine Art Services.

The next #ARCSchat is scheduled for Tuesday November 1 from 8 - 9 pm EST.  We’ll be discussing “Freelance Registrars”. If you are one, use one, or want to be one, we hope you’ll join us and share your insights. You can find our Twitter page here. Use the hashtag #ARCSchat to follow along and contribute.
