A Brief History of the Visual Artists of BC

Join artist, writer and art historian Gary Sim for an overview of his project, BC Artists— a searchable database of over 19,000 visual artists. The North Shore has been home to many of the province’s important artists and Sim will use historical ephemera, documents, images and research to highlight a number of them, including Frederick Varley, Gordon Smith, Alistair Bell, Unity Bainbridge and Gertrude Lawson.
