The documents cover the period 1972 to 1982, however, the great majority of the documents were created between 1973 and 1976. This finding aid deals with the administrative, financial files of this organization as well as the artist and exhibition files, the publicity material (posters, art catalogues), and photographs. There is little documentation for the activities of the Vu00e9hicule Art Inc. gallery from 1976 to 1982. During this time the gallery experienced both administrative and financial difficulties. Frequent changes of staff and insufficient funding contributed to the weakening of the gallery and its activities. The original order of the documents quite faithfully reflected the internal organization of the gallery. Thus, the documents dating from 1972 to 1975, were relatively well organized and required no further arrangement; on the other hand, those covering the 1976-1982 period needed complete reorganization. The fonds is organized into the following series: P027/01 Organization P027/02 Personnel P027/03 Finances P027/04 Programming P027/05 Artists, exhibitions and performances P027/06 Associations P027/07 Correspondence P027/08 Photographs P027/09 Sound recordings P027/10 Posters"],"collection_source_collection_id":["P027"],"persistent_url":["https://concordia.accesstomemory.org/vehicule-art-montreal-inc-fonds"],"item_title":["Poetry Reading Mattie Falworth & Guy Burchard"],"item_title_source":["Title typed on sticker stuck on spine of box"],"item_title_note":["Spelling error--Guy Birchard"],"item_language":["English"],"item_production_context":["Documentary recording"],"item_identifiers":["[]"],"rights":["In Copyright (InC)"],"rights_notes":["Copyright belongs to the creator(s).Reproductions are allowed for the purpose of research and private study.
