Vancouver Island Society of Disabled Artists founded in 1995 inc. 2005

Registered Charity RR0001

Sculptors Alistair Green and Garry Curry have begun a new sculpture, a 300lb piece of Brazilian Steatite will soon be transformed into two Western Hoary Marmots, which Whistler became named after. London Mountain soon became locally known as “Whistler” because of the shrill whistle made by the Western Hoary Marmots who live among the rocks. On August 27, 1965 London Mountain’s name was officially changed to Whistler Mountain. 

The sculpture will be donated to the Vancouver Island Society of Disabled Artists. Our goal is to promote artists with disabilities.

The Vancouver Island Society of Disabled Artists have been making art accessible since 1995, specializing in customizing tools and accessible workstations. The society have researched and developed many devices to make art possible for the severely disabled, with the goal to give people with disabilities more options to financial Independence.
