Western Canada Taiwanese Artists’ Society (WCTAS) was established in July, 2005 by our former president, Ms. Lu Yueh-Chien. Our objective is to offer artists from Taiwan a chance to liaise, observe and learn from one another. We aim at promoting Taiwanese art and culture by strengthening art and cultural exchange between Taiwan and Canada. We also strive to maintain the inheritance of Taiwanese artistic concepts among promising young people. The 80 members of the Society, met by chance here in beautiful Vancouver, are all from Taiwan. We brought with us diverse life experience and special achievements. Most of us are professional painters; All of us have been deeply influenced by Taiwanese culture during our formative years and in our education. Our works include Oriental and Western painting, calligraphy, seal cutting, ceramics, photography, design, sculpture and mixed media application. Vancouver has furnished us with a platform to explore artistic creation from a multi-cultural angle. Through the fusion of Eastern and Western artistic principles and international cultural perspectives, we have experimented in achieving a timeless and unique creative spirit. Although we work with diverse media in different styles, our works share the common feature of a “Taiwanese character”. The Society encourages free and diversified productions, and organizes regular exhibitions both locally and abroad. We hope to continue our experiment in the unique creations of multicultural artistic styles with a “Taiwanese feature”. We hope also to play our part in encouraging cooperation and exchange between international art groups.
