HISTORY

In 1972, a group known as the Citizen's Committee for the Physically Handicapped of Calgary began a study on the needs of the city's disabled population. After several months of study, the Committee presented its findings to various levels of government. In 1974 the Citizen's Committee and the national Department of Manpower made a short term agreement which provided for the establishment of a sales outlet for handicrafts produced by people with a disability. The store incorporated a drop-in centre and workshop. In-Definite Arts opened its doors on April 6, 1975. The Citizen's Committee, its work completed, was subsumed into the newly created In-Definite Arts Society (IDAS).
