Etobicoke Art Gallery exhibition 1992 — catalogue
The catalogue lists each piece in five columns — number, maker, telephone, description and price — and the entry list is set out that way here. Two descriptions carry a word the printer broke across a line, “hand-made” paper and “hand-marbled” leather; where the break falls is also where the word’s own hyphen would fall, so both are left hyphenated as the page shows them.

ARTS ETOBICOKE
This Art Rental/Sales Collection Exhibition on display at City Hall for the month of September is just a sample of the year round collection available for rent or sale to Etobicoke businesses and corporations. The Art Rental/Sales Collection is co-ordinated by Arts Etobicoke to link the work of local artists to the Etobicoke business community. This is just one of the many programs and services offered by Arts Etobicoke.
Since 1973, Arts Etobicoke has been the City's incorporated not for profit arts council providing valuable services to community arts organizations and offering creative programs to the residents of Etobicoke. We represent over 60 member arts organizations and their 7 000 members as "one voice" to all levels of government to ensure continued and improved support for the arts community.
Our mission statement is: "to enhance the quality of life within the community by developing a wide spread appreciation, support and involvement with the Arts."
To accomplish our aim, we assist in the development of new cultural organizations, counsel members with administrative or financial problems, offer shared services, sponsor workshops, provide a community information service on the arts and organize artistic events.
Our exciting program year consists of: Christmas Tapestry, A Chocolate Fantasy, Artistry-in-Action craft show, Mayor's Luncheon for the Arts, Simply for Kids childrens' festival and Autumn ArtsFest.
Arts Etobicoke is administered by a 19 person Board of Directors and a 5 person staff. We receive funding through grants from the City of Etobicoke, Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, the Ontario Arts Council and the Ministry of Culture and Communications. As well, we raise money through membership fees, program revenues, donations, special events and sponsorships.
For more information on Arts Etobicoke and our programs and services, please call Belinda Kemp, Marketing and Special Events Assistant, at 622-8731.
