Description
The formation of the Arts Council grew out of a need. In the early 1960's local arts festivals had disappeared and there was little emphasis on arts programs in the public schools. A committee was formed to begin work towards forming the Upper Island Arts Council, was comprised of Mrs. B Swinerton, Roy Pouss, Miles Murcheson, Mary Garland, Doris Tonkin, Ed Chambers, Beryl Regier, Mrs. Rupert Williams, R.T. Hall, Helen Laver, Frank Versteegh, T.G. Ryan, Gordon Moore, and Doris Sewell. This first Arts Council, incorporated in 1965, had a mandate to operate the hugely successful Vancouver Island Summer School of the Arts under the direction of Beryl Regier.
