The Society’s records
Everything the Society’s own records say of Nicholas Hornyansky: the offices held, the standings conferred, and the awards won. Where the records are silent, so is this part of the page.
Served as a juror, described as “A.R.C.A., O.S.A., C.P.E., A.C.P.S., teacher at the Ontario College of Art and well-known Canadian artist,” at the Society’s 1955 competition (1955-fall p9).
From Autumn 1955, page 9.
