Vancouver’s artists shortchanged by $700,000
The late Abraham Rogatnick must be shaking his head in disgust with a recent decision by Vancouver Council to reduce the amount his estate could have donated to the arts community by $700,000. Rogatnick was a well known architect and professor at the University of British Columbia who recently passed away and decided to leave a major portion of his estate to the Contemporary Art Gallery, Doris and Jack Shadbolt Foundation and the Emily Carr University of Art and Design. It was an act of generosity that characterizes Rogatnick’s life. Although he was a prominent supporter of former NPA Mayor Sam Sullivan, he actually supported Vision in the last campaign.
