    • How to Follow TFVA on Instagram

      Dear Members:

      TFVA has an instagram account! @tfva.ca

      We encourage all members to create an account and follow not only Toronto Friends of the Visual Arts but also all your favourite artists and galleries and musicians. Instagram is a wealth of current information you would enjoy knowing and learning about! Its a gateway for you to the visual arts world in the GTA and beyond. It is the communication ‘currency’ very popular

      TFVA also reposts information about our prizewinners. We often create ‘stories’ about our artists which are short posts which have a 24 hour life.
