paintings by Keith Holmes Dance at the Community Hall Our little Galiano Hall was built in 1924 as a place for the community to gather and enjoy music, dancing and each other. For many decades it was the heart of the community very like other community halls across the country, remnants of the time not long past when the population was largely rural . Though these paintings depict specific, personally experienced events, the images are typical of similar halls across the continent. Such events have become part of the North American folk mythology..
