active

The Castlegar Arts Council
is a registered non-profit
society formally formed al-
most 18 years aga in 1969 by
a-group of dedicated vol-
unteers.

The constitution states the
object of this society shall be
to increase and broaden the
opportunity for the citizens
of Castlegar and area and to
enjoy and participate in cul-
tural activities.

It then goes on to state
several ways in which this
can be accomplished. Each
year the members of the arts
council must determine how
it Best can fulfill this purpose,
keeping in mind the realities
of financial and facility lim-
itations, the needs of the

enthusiasts in the SUNSHINE BLOCK

ity and mainly the

extent of volunteer time and
expertise available.

As boards change so do the

ways in which the executive

fulfills its role. Some years,

purpose remains the same; to

raise the level of cultural

awareness of our community.

New ideas and new mem-

(regular council meetings held
at 7:30 p.m. on the fourth
Manday of each month at the
Kineaird Branch of the
Castlegar Library.

There may also be com
mittee meetings to plan
spetific events. There are
presently several vacancies
on the executive and com-
mittees for people interested
in helping plan and facilitate
workshops, performances
and events.

The general membership
is composed of an annual av-
erage of about 100 families

This year we have taken
advantage of groups such as
La Troupe Circus and Jest in
Time, travelling across Can
ada before returning to Mon.
treal and Halifax, respec-
tively, after performing at
Expo 86. We have also. had
the Debbie Brown Dancers
from Vancouver.

These have been large-
budget events which needed
extra financial support,
through our own fundraising
and grants received from the
B.C. Cultural Fund Arts Re-
source Touring subsidary

The monthly art show, the
presentation series, hosted
by the Homestead Soup and
Sandwich Shoppe began in
November, 1984 with an ex
hibition of work by Argenta
artist Phyllis Margolin. Some
of the other featured artists
from the West Kootenay area
were Alf Crossley, Maria
Crossley, Sandra Groepler,
Helen Gwillim, John De

Jong, Brian O'Hara, Colin
Pryce, May Richards, Mar
jorie West and the Selkirk
Weavers.

These exhibitions give
amateur and professional ar
tists an opportunity to show
their work and give the
public a chance to view a
wide variety of artwork.

The continuation of the
annual summer concerts i the
part this July will mark the
fifth year of free concerts.
Local musicians are invited
to inquire about performing
at these noon hour concerts
in the Kinsmen Park each
Thursday in July.

‘This series is co-sponsored
by the Downtown Business
Association with generous
assistance from CKQR radio,
Castlegar News, Royal Can
adian Legion Branch 1970
and the City of Castlegar
Parks Department.

The West Kootenay Re
gional Arts Council sponsors
the Regional Juried Art Ex
hibition. The arts council as a
member group helps to prom
ote and facilitate these ex
hibitions.

This year the Langham
Gallery in Kaslo is the host of
the 8th annual event, from
March 15 to April 5. Every:

Groepler, Lynda Carter, touring; Mark Andrews and

Ste,

Margaret ’Carroll, membership. Missing from photo
are: Maureen Hadikin, Presentation Series; Cynthia
Dieno, secretary; and Jody Parsons.

one interested is encouraged
to support area artists by
viewing the latest artwork
produced in the area. Sele-
cted pieces will travel to the
B.C. Festival of the Arts, to
be held in Victoria in May.

Also, as members of the
Provincial Association the
Assembly of B.C. Arts Coun:
cils we have input and feed
bacl on what is happening in
B.C. A vast amount of in
formation is funneled
through the arts council,
about what is available else
where.

Artists, musicians, dan.
cers, writers and other cre-
ative individuals are encour
aged to enter their names
and information in Artcom, a
computerized provincial in-
formation bank and service
created by the ABCAC.

As members of the B.C.
Touring Council, a represen
tative from the Castlegar
group is a delegate to their
annual showcase of perform
ers available to tour around
the province. This is an ex.
cellent opportunity for repre.
sentatives of smaller com.
munities throughout B.C. to
see, talk to and compare the
entertainers and then be able
to bring the information back

to the arts council so that the
next years programs may be
planned.

Several more events are
planned for the spring. Ano-
ther cabaret is planned for
the end of April following a
very successful cabaret —
coffee house in January
which featured non-stop local
entertainment. In conjune-
tion with SunFest an event is
in the planning stages. More
information will be forthcom
ing later.

Of course, none of the ac
tivities of the Castlegar Arts
Council would be possible
without the efforts of hard-
working volunteers, support
and donations from local bus-
inesses and organizations and
a basic assistance grant from
B.C. Cultural Fund (Ministry
of Tourism, Recreation and
Culture).

Enthusiastic apprectation
must be expressed to all who
are or were involved in
making the Castlegar Arts
Council a community re.
source successful.

Anyone wishing a memb-
ership, more information or
having suggestions or energy
to offer is invited to come to a
meeting or contact president
Eleanor Elstone.
