PAUL BENNETT TO HEAD GALLERY STRATFORD The search for a successor to Robert Swain as director of Gallery Stratford ended recently with the hiring of Paul Bennett of Toronto. Mr. Bennett will take over his duties in mid-October. He has been working in the visual arts for his entire career which began as a high school teacher and continued as an art advisor to the Community Programmes Branch of the Ontario Department of education. He was director of the Art Institute of Ontario from 1964 to 1968 and was awarded a Canada Council Visual Arts grant in 1968. After studying exhibition extension programs and training for museum and gallery personnel in Europe and New York, he returned to Canada to become director of the Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa. He has been the executive director of the Canadian Guild of Crafts for the past six years. The organization merged with the Ontario Craft Foundation in 1976 to form the Ontario Crafts Council. This background, he said, could mean the gallery will give more emphasis to "quality, contemporary crafts," though he added that there is no intention to make it into a crafts gallery.
