Not a single place or exhibit but an idea which is carried forth to this day. It is the idea that
  artists have the opporunitities to allow everyone to share and experience artwork.

 In Emily Carr's words...
   "The exhibition was a varied show and so successful that a few of us got
  together, working on the idea of starting a Peoples' Art Gallery in these six
 rooms of mine. It was Winter time, there were no Band Concerts in the Park.
 People walked until they were tired, then went home chilled. To drop in, sit by
 an open fire, warm, rest themselves and look at pictures, might appeal to the
 public. It was also suggested that there might be study classes. Young people
 came to see me saying how ardently they hoped the idea would be carried out."
 Emily Carr, House of All Sorts
