CARFAC Canada has adopted the "International Artists Association (IAA)" definition of a professional artist as "one who fulfills at least one of the following criteria: earns a living through art making, possesses a diploma in an area considered to be within the domain of the fine arts: teaches art in a school of art or applied art; whose work is often seen by the public or is frequently or regularly exhibited or is is recognized as an artist by consensus of opinion among professional artists." Somehow they missed the fact that the full name of this group, based in Paris, France, is actually the "International Association of Art Critics." That is something else again, is it not.?
