• B.C. Indian Arts and Welfare Society (BCIAWS)

  The non-Indigenous–operated B.C. Indian Arts and Welfare Society (BCIAWS) was formed in the late 1930s to protect and promote Native arts and crafts. Led by Victorian educator Alice Ravenhill, it involved church and residential school leaders, such as missionary/collector Reverend George H. Raley. BCIAWS awarded scholarships and held exhibitions to encourage young Native artists attending residential and day schools to develop Native arts and craft skills. These activities aimed to find ways for Native communities to make money and become self-sufficient within the economic structure of colonial society.

• Bacon, Yehuda (Czech/Israeli, b.1929)

  A Jewish artist and Holocaust survivor, Yehuda Bacon depicted his experiences in the Theresienstadt, Auschwitz, Mauthausen, and Gunskirchen concentration camps in ink drawings, which attempt to reconcile the artist with his traumatic history. Drawings of the gas chamber and crematoria at Auschwitz that he created following his liberation were used as evidence in the trial of Adolf Eichmann in 1961 and 1962 in Jerusalem.

The first two art exhibitions of note in the Lake Chapala area were held at the Villa Montecarlo in Chapala in 1944.

The first was a solo show of works by Edythe Wallach in November 1944; a year later, she was exhibiting many of the same paintings in a New York gallery.

The second, a month later, was the area’s earliest documented group art show. And—at least in my view—no subsequent show in the region has ever matched the extraordinary range of artistic talent that was on display in that particular group exhibit.

The show, announced in the Guadalajara daily El Informador as the founding of the Chapala Art Center, opened on 10 December 1944. The ribbon cutting was preceded by a short introductory speech by American poet Witter Bynner, who first visited Chapala in the company of English novelist D H Lawrence in 1923 and later bought a home in the town.

Confusingly, contemporaneous reports name only ten of the eleven artists reportedly displaying their work
