The Langham
Last night I was elected to be on the board of the Langham Cultural Society.The Langham houses Kaslo’s art gallery, theatre, museum, and many artist studio spaces.
It is a big, old, beautiful building that was first built as a hotel in 1896. Since then it has had many incarnations: a bottling plant; a wooden boat factory and a bank. During the Second World War the Langham was used as an internment centre for Canadians of Japanese descent. Over the years the building fell into disrepair, but was restored in the 1970′s and has become the hub of Kaslo’s arts scene. I look forward to participating in it’s future.
