Judy Dennis Emerging Artist Fund
The Judy Dennis Emerging Artist Training Fund was established in 1994 with a bequest to the North Shore Community Foundation by the late Judy Dennis.
Judy, whose artistic interests were wide-ranging, had a particular interest in encouraging artists to develop their skills in any discipline and was the driving force in establishing what is now known as the North Vancouver Community Arts Council.
