Vancouver Arts & Crafts Association ticket 1901
|
The Art Union was an idea from England, where a lottery was held to
draw for prizes consisting of artworks in the exhibition or exhibitions
where the artwork was on display. Sometimes large and expensive artworks
were available as prizes. This ticket is also interesting because the
Association has added "of B.C." to their name, an indication of early
plans for a Provincial artist's association.
