mittee has expressed dis appointment over a 4200 grant approved recently by the ontario arts council the figure she said repre sents an 800 decrease from 1983 we the committee had hoped for the same or maybe more mrs glover said explaining how the funds go into the gallerys general operation budget the secretary was quick to point out that the cutback in no way casts a reflection on the facility some pro jects of a similar nature received no grants at all she said mrs glover noted that big names are important to the ontario arts council but not necessarily important to the people of whitchurch- stouffville our commun ity is different she said its funded by the munici pality so the committee tends to lean towards parti cipation by local artists the gallery applies for an arts council grant each year mrs glover said un fortunately this application must be in the hands of the jury many months in adv ance of the current prog ram this makes it difficult to present a true outline of whats being planned the gallerys total budget is close to 20000 mrs glov er said last years grant represented 20 per cent of this amount green the initial purchase dates back to 1977
