Abstract
In 1949 the Educational Department of the Montreal Young Women's Christian Association was merged with the arts and crafts interest groups of the Young Adult Department and the new Art Workshop and Educational Classes Department was assigned the challenging responsibility of developing an imaginative and creative program in the arts and crafts. The decision to initiate workshops in which young and enthusiastic amateurs could explore the world of design, rhythm and beauty and experience the thrill of creation put the Montreal Association into the ranks of those few Y.W.C.A.'s (1) who for some time have pioneered in the field of arts.
