Twenty years ago, in March of 1989, a group of mid-island artists met to discuss the formation of a new Chapter of the Federation of Canadian Artists. The national organization was formed following an Arts Conference held in Kingston Ontario, in 1941, where “many Canadian Artists expressed a need for a country-wide organization that would serve the needs of artists, critics and those interested in art. ” (FCA 60th Anniversary Publication) The first national president was Andre Bieler, and he was followed by Lauren Harris. In 1978, the FCA moved its base of operations from Victoria to Vancouver where its offices and gallery are currently located on Granville Island.

At that time, there were eleven chapters in BC and Alberta, including the mid-island Chapter.
