developed after .The gallery's
director Peter Bennett saw a similar
program being used in Wales. Mr,
'White was hired as a swnzner student
to produce the Art ' Packs for The
Gallery, This has developed into a
full-time position and recently Mr,
White has been showing the program
to various organizations and the
board of education in Huron County,
from Canadian heritage, famous
artists, to the elements of art and
color, the Art Packs are a com-
bination of display materials, slide
presentations. prints and artifacts, all
aimed to entertain and. educate.
The Art Packs attempt to include
local artists' work when possible and
one local history unit includes
photographs done by R. R. Sallows, a
photographer who lived in Goderich,
at the turn of the century.
According to Bruce White, the
extension co-ordinator of the
program, Art Packs can offer a
"visual stimulus" to community
halls, classrooms and libraries.
In its second year of operation, the
program consists of 250 different
packages, all listed in a concise 14 -
page -catalogue. Mr. White's job is to
present the Art Pack concept to
service clubs, church groups, school
boards and other public organizations
for their use. The program is not
offeredr to., private .citizens or firms
and Mr. White explained, "It wouldn't
be fair for the artto sit in someone's
office."
The program is a new approach to
art galleries and is attempting to

Mr. White emphasized the

producing a whole visually illiterate

While each Art Pack costs $50 to
„produce, the units are not un-

carvings, African dance masks ' and
old artifacts are all replicas, and the
artworks are all reproductions,

be easily used and not abused.
"This is work that's prepared to go
out. We want it to be handled," Mr.
White noted,
A $5,000 Wintario grant got the
program underway in 1979 and ,now
over $12,000' has been invested into the
packages. Despite Borne difficulties
funding the fee program the Art
Packs are becoming a popular means
to advertise The Gallery.
