Lakehead Visual Arts is the oldest art association in Thunder Bay. The origin of the club goes back to the early fifties when Art Clubs were formed in both Port Arthur and Fort William. These joined together in 1964 to become the Lakehead Society of Fine Arts. In 1970 the name was changed to Lakehead Visual Arts. The activities of these earlier years are still vividly remembered by six honourary members. At 101 years of age, Helen Knights, once treasurer, Gladys Postans, a dedicated long time leader, Elizabeth Cramb, the 50th anniversary chair, along with Verna Ross, Genevieve Johns and Alice McLeod are a living part of LVA history.
