BRITISH COLUMBIA ARTISTS  

Vancouver School of Art Graduates' Association

1929 (?) - ?


The Vancouver School of Art Graduates' Association was formed after the first graduating class left the Vancouver School of Decorative and Applied Arts in 1929.

The Group put on exhibitions of their work, and published a mimeographed newsletter called The Smock Pocket which kept members up to date on group activities, weddings and births, exhibitions, artist studios, and other general art-related information. The Spring 1936 edition of the newsletter is an excellent historical "snapshot" of a range of information about the graduates during the Great Depression.
