Mid-West Art Council
"Art and culture are important to the
development and vitality of a community. In a grassroots fashion, the
Council promotes the development of art and culture for citizens of all
ages within the Midwest Recreation District. To this end, the Council
provides a forum for art exhibitions, performances, dance, music, as
well as other activities which encourage individual self-expression."
The highlight of the Club year is
the annual Art
Show and Tea, which is held in the spring. This has
created a great deal of interest,
not only in the Club,
but also
in the community.
The Club members have also had a
display of
pictures at the Hamiota Summer Fair for several
years. Pictures painted by the members are hung in
the local Royal Bank and Credit
Union for viewing during the
year.
Hamiota and District Archives
Hamiota and District Archives is a non-profit
organization run by volunteers.
It was created on February 12, 1986 at a
meeting of a sub-committee of the Hamiota Centennial History Committee.
As the publishers of Hamiota Grains of the Century, Vol.1 1884-1984, the
committee saw the need to collect and preserve our heritage.
The purpose of the archives is the collection
and preservation of print and pictorial materials relevant to Hamiota
and District.
The archives was originally located in the
librarian's office in Hamiota Centennial Library, and was moved in the
spring of 2004 to its present location on the second floor of the
Heritage Arts Centre to accommodate its growing collection.
