What is the Artists For Conservation (AFC) Flag Expeditions Program?
The Artists for Conservation Foundation (Formerly the Worldwide Nature Artists Group) is a non-profit juried association of artists dedicated to celebrating and protecting our natural heritage. The group limits its membership to 500 artists. AFC has a website featuring the work of its artists, many of whom donate a percentage of their sales to conservation groups, and has many other exciting programs underway, including the Conservation Artist Award, an annual members art exhibit and the Flag Expeditions Program. I am a signature member of AFC and have found it to be a great organization with a wonderful mission - to support wildlife and habitat conservation, biodiversity, sustainability and environmental education through art that celebrates our natural heritage. The Flag Expeditions program is a unique program offered by AFC. Signature members may submit proposals for the field study and artistic rendering of endangered species or habitats, often in remote parts of the world. The chosen artist has the privilege of carrying the AFC flag on their journey and creates a journal of their expedition. Painting the Painted Dogs is the AFC's 5th Flag Expedition.
