The Canadian Alliance of Film and Television Costume Arts and Design is an association of individuals interested in promoting Costume Design for film, television and media from both an artistic and technical perspective. Our goal is to enrich our community with a national organization that is inclusive of experience and talent. The Alliance provides an open forum for discussion, networking and shared learning for our members through periodic seminars, workshops and exhibits. We explore the areas of individual design approach, illustration and advancements in film technologies. We celebrate the richness of historic and contemporary fashion and its relationship to our craft. Our vision is to increase awareness and the value of costume arts and design as a powerful element in the collaborative process of filmmaking; furthering international recognition of the creative talent we have in Canada.
