Williams Lake: NDP art critic visits Station House Gallery show opening
People who attended the opening of the new show at the Station House Gallery last Thursday evening had an opportunity to talk with the NDP opposition critic for tourism, arts and culture in B.C.
Spencer Herbert, arts critic and MLA for Vancouver West End, stopped by the gallery show opening on his tour of northern communities and chatted with some of the artists, and gallery patrons before heading north to Quesnel.
He said he was concerned about Victoria cutting 50 per cent of funding for the arts and expected more cuts for the arts in B.C. were on the way, even though studies show that every $1 invested in the arts is returned with $1.38 in tax revenue.
