ABSTRACT
The Sculptors' Society of Canada: The First Fifty
Years 1928 - 1978
Joyce Millar
1992
The history of the Sculptors’ Society of Canada
reflects the evolution of sculpture in 20th-century Canadian art. Founded in 1928, its
first fifty years were dedicated to promoting sculpture, fostering professional standards,
sponsoring exhibitions, supporting its members and advancing the art of Canadian sculpture
both internationally and at home. This thesis documents the history of the Society from
1928 to 1978 through an examination of its role and its significance in the history of
Canadian art. It will conclude with the 50th anniversary celebrations, the Society ceasing
to play a prominent role in Canadian sculpture after that date.
