Expansion and Innovation (2016-2019)

The period from 2016-2019 marked significant programmatic expansion. FAC launched its international artist residency program at Artscape Gibraltar Point on Toronto Islands, hosting 19 artists annually in two-week intensive programs. The residency program provided individual studio time, group discussions, guest speakers, and collaborative critique sessions.

Simultaneously, FAC undertook the ambitious Women's Kit Digitization Project in 2016, preserving and making accessible multimedia educational materials originally created at OISE in 1974. This archival initiative demonstrated FAC's commitment to intergenerational feminist dialogue and historical preservation.

The annual conferences continued throughout this period, with 2017's "Embodied Resistance" featuring keynote speaker Sadie Buck and panels on domestic sphere politics, systemic violence, and cultural identity reconstruction.
