| BRITISH COLUMBIA ARTISTS |
The group opened a gallery called "The Little Centre" on Yates Street, which Uhthoff ended up running. The gallery moved to Broughton Street and re-opened as the Arts Centre of Greater Victoria. In 1951 the gallery received the gift of the Spencer Mansion on Moss Street from Miss Sara Spencer, and moved to that location, which would be its successful home for more than a half century.
In 1955 a "promising third stage" in the gallery's expansion occured when the Rotary Club of Victoria sponsored an architectural competition to design a new fire-proof wing for the Gallery. This Wing was completed as the city's main construction project commemorating the 1958 Provincial Centenary. This wing was barely completed when Mr. R.H.H. Ker sponsored construction of a third exhibition area in honor of the centenary of his family in Victoria. This extension opened in 1959.
For many years the AGGV has sponsored exhibitions relevant to the art history of British Columbia, and their successive curators have cumulatively produced an extensive list of excellent publications detailing the history of B.C. artists and their work.
