Outreach Program We shall probably be hearing more about the Out- reach Program as it gets started. For those who don’t know what it is all about, here is a brief outline. Nini Baird is our Co-ordinator of Outreach Programs and one day, when she is not roaming far and wide around the Province, we hope to get an interview with her. The Outreach Program (a new program) will be re- sponsible for developing ways in which the College can fulfill its function as a provincial resource in the field of the visual arts. The College will be responding to local needs, but it will be a few years before all can be met. On the local level, the College will be working in co-operation with the regional colleges and will be consulting with a local “Outreach Committee” that typically includes representation from the college, arts council, art gallery, school board, and individual practicing artists. An “Outreach” program for teachers will be developed in cooperation with the local school districts and the B.C. Art Teachers’ Association. At first the College will be limiting its assistance to the art and design areas currently offered in Vancouver by the College and therefore fabric arts will not be available, at least initially, in the “Outreach” program. Artist-teachers will be drawn from all over B.C., includ- ing the faculty of the College of Art, and other parts of Canada. Programs are intended for a broad range of community interests from the secondary and _ post- secondary students to the amateur and _ professional artists and art teachers. Such programs as weekend “encounters with artists” (an introductory program), weekend workshops or sem- inars, and ten-day short courses will be available in painting/drawing, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, photography, film and video, graphic design, interdis- ciplinary projects, contemporary art history, and general aesthetic concerns. Initially, a mobile facility is being developed that will be suitable for printmaking (printmobile) with a photomobile being planned for the future. The Okan- agan Mainline Regional Arts Council (OMRAC) has loaned the College its mobile exhibit unit for touring the Children’s Exhibition into the Okanagan and Cariboo ome On View ARTISTS’ GALLERY, 555 Hamilton Street * September 12 to 23 — Les Duplessis, painted wood constructions * September 16 to October 7 — Debra Clapton works on canvas and paper ’ BURNABY ART GALLERY, 6344 Gilpin St., Burnaby * September 6 to October 15 — Shizuye Takashina oil paintings John Collins, water colours and drawings Marlene Cox, drawings and batik in the lounge area , BAU-XI GALLERY, 1876 West 1st Avenue * September 11 to 25 — John Korner, new oils, works-on paper * September 25 to October 7 — Toni Onley, new painting BENT-BOX GALLERY, 1520 West 15th Avenue * September — Northwest Coast Indian prints CIRCLE CRAFT CO-OPERATIVE, 601 West Cordova * September — children’s clothing and accessories EQUINOX GALLERY, 1525 West 8th Avenue * Gallery artists through September EXPOSITION GALLERY, 313 Water Street * September 18 to 30 — Valerie Brouwer, works in oils COMMUNITY ARTS COUNCIL GALLERY, 315 West Cordova Street * Through September — Paul Ygartua, exhibition of paintings se) College regions in summer and fall 1978. Programs available to communities will depend on the suitability of local facilities and equipment for the level of program requested. Some art supplies, publications and/or equip- ment may have to be provided from Vancouver as part of the Outreach Program. The year 1978/9 is a pilot year for Outreach, with the first programs offered from October 1978 to April 1979 in selected communities. Programs will begin in the fall of 1978. Outreach Programs in Vancouver will not begin until at least January 1980, when the College of Art has settled into the new facilities on Granville Island. Communities throughout B.C. have responded to the program development questionnaire circulated by the Outreach Program. The expressed needs (in order of priority) are: painting/drawing, ceramics, photography, printmaking, sculpture, graphic design, film-making/ media, interdisciplinary (particularly design), and his- tory. As the demand is far in excess of the budget available to provide services, the College of Art has called local outreach committees in four pilot regions to assist the College in setting priorities for visual arts development in those regions. The four outreach com- mittees are College of New Caledonia, Okanagan College, Cariboo, and Northern Lights College. These local committees are: 1. Assisting the College of Art in evaluating local needs; 2. Interpreting the results of the program develop- ment questionnaire and assisting in setting priorities for the region; 3. Insuring quality of instruction and the overall program; GALLERY ROYALE, 2247 Granville Street * Group of Seven and their contemporaries, Alex Colville and Goodridge Roberts GALLERY SEVEN, 565 Hamilton Street * September 11 to 23 — Margaret McClelland, re- cent ceramics Taiko Suzuki, mixed media prints * September 25 to October 7 — Bob Kingsmill, recent pots Ranjen Sen, prints HELEN PITT GALLERY, 163 West Pender Street * Next show dependent upon students’ decision on the future of the gallery KITSILANO NEIGHBOURHOOD HOUSE GALLERY, 2305 West 7th Avenue * To September 25 — Nancy Gunton, drawings NOVA GALLERY, 1972 West 4th Avenue * September 12 to 30 — “Between the Frames”, photographs by Michael Morris 8, Insuring that the Outreach Program comple- ments present or planned programs at the College; 5. Participating in organizing evaluation of the pilot Outreach Programs in the region. While four regions have been identified as pilot regions for 1978/79, the College of Art will extend out- reach services to other regions of the province as soon as funds are available, provided that the Community Col- lege serving the region has requested the assistance of the College of Art in meeting local needs. The one exhibition being circulated by the College of Art in 1978/79 was selected in line with the College’s intention to develop districts, and to stimulate the inter- est of children in art. ‘Children’s Art from Great Britain”, seen at the Centennial Museum in Vancouver May 26 — June 30, 1978, as part of the Young People’s Heritage Festival, is the forerunner of the proposed 1979 B.C. Exhibition of Children’s Art, to be organized by the College of Art. The 1978 exhibition will be seen in nine interior communities, including public galleries (Kam- loops, Kelowna, Penticton, Vernon) and OMRAC mobile gallery in these communities as well as Keremeos, Sum- merland, Osoyoos, Salmon Arm, and Merritt. The dates are August 1 — December 16, 1978. 2 PEERS S TG PLACE DES ARTS, 166 King Edward, Coquitlam * September 2 to 20 — Coquitlam Photo Studio’s Third Exhibition: new trends in portrait photo- graphy featuring Wolfgang A.
