FOREWARD

In arranging the All-Canadian Exhibition, the aim of the Exhibition committee has been to gather from all parts of Canada a collection of pictures and sculpture that shall be representative of all that is best in Canadian Art, both past and present. Artists resident in British Columbia have contributed their quota and the Judging committee has endeavored to ensure that the work submitted shall have every opportunity for display side by side with works of art drawn from all parts of the Dominion. The Committee desires to express its sincere thanks to the Directors of the National Gallery of Canada, to Mr. E. Wyley Grier, President of the Royal Canadian Academy and to the other friends of the Gallery for their work in selecting pictures from Eastern Canada, and for the co-operation and advice so generously afforded.

Before the Exhibition closes, it is anticipated that the Founders will select certain pictures as a nucleus of a Permanent Collection of Canadian Art.
