AG CASTLEGAR NEWs, March 28, 1982 Canadian art Integal role played The following is from a brief submitted by the Slocan Valley Community Arts Council to the Slocan Valley Planning Program of the Re- gional District of Central Kootenay.) As in all societies from his- toric times, Art plays an integral role in Canadian culture, Art in this sense is meant to include the whole spectrum of creative activity that results in a product that has value in its marketplace. From stage play to sculp- ting, painting to motion pic- ture, musical recording to pen and ink sketch, the world of artistic endeavor.is deeply embedded in the fabric of our culture, including its econ- omic system, The role of art in culture is well established and goes be- yond its aesthetic qualities to include both social and econ- omic importance. But where does art come from? Everyone knows that movies are made in Holly- wood and Broadway plays are produced in New York, much as they know. that automobiles and refrigera- tors are produced in fac- tories: But what of the rest of tat of the mu- have gathered in some par- ticular geography that offers an inspiring environment and a-sense of community. For the past decade or so, the Slocan Valley has been in the process of becoming such a at least to some sical scores, poetry, the songs and novels and: short stories, sculptings and crafts- wares? Where do they come from? They do not come from Hollywood or New York, and they do not come from fac- tories. No. They come from individual artists, people who most often live ‘and work in an artistic significant degree. This process was initiated when young artists discov- ered the relatively unspoiled natural beauty of.the valley and the existence of afford- able land. In the course of time the word spread through the ar- tistic world, and soon many - established artists, some with 1 reputa- Artists have exhibited a historical tendency to group together, to form communi- ties.

These people did not mi- grate into a vacuum. There was an existing community in the valley. There was, in fact, a highly unique, culture, and there was an economy. But to say that the Slocan Valley was underdeveloped in 1965. comes close to the mark. ‘The culture ‘that ex- isted was small, rural in character, and cohesive. It was also isolated from the mainstream of cultural and economic development. Its economy was ‘based on a single resource and lacked flexibility or local control. A foreign. -owned corporation dominated the job -market and the economic well being of the community. In the intervening 15 years, immigrating artists and smallholders have cre- ated an entirely new facet of culture and economy within the pre-existing community. Integration of these two cultures and economies is an’ on-going process in which benefits have accrued to both segments. What is emerging is a multi-faceted culture based on a diversified econ- omy. pero VANCOUVER (CP) — Irv-' ing Layton, a nominee for the Nobel Prize for’ literature, _has just turned 70 and {is also enmeshed in a trio of acri- monious legal disputes. “I have never had litigation in my life, so naturally it has to be for by 70th year,” he said on a visit to Vancouver this week. “The fates decided to give me an unusual birthday gift — three litigations. They're all going towards the. cli- max.” One, against book column- ist William French of the Toronto Globe and Mail over observations in a. review, Irving La Layton eG Trio of legal disputes ~ should be settled next week.

Having published 46 or 47 books, Irving Layton has stopped counting. “I've been amazingly crea- tive the past 50 years, Instead of slowing up I find myself more and more vigor- out and much more imagina-' tive than I've ever been, And I hope it continues, If it doesn’t I'll turn my hand to writing screenplays or three- act plays, because Tve done that before.” Layton, who has been visible Canadian they want to Bizarre the knees.
