Victoria Henry has made the promotion of visual arts in Canada and abroad her life's work, and on April 14, 2007, she was recognized for her contributions by the Regroupement des gens d'affaires (RGA) at their 2007 Gala de l'excellence.  Ms. Henry was named Director of the Year in the Semi-Public category.

"It is such an honour for me and, in extension, the whole Art Bank team to have won this award," explained Ms. Henry.  "The RGA is an important organization as it provides an outlet to promote our art leasing program to businesses in our community.  How wonderful to be recognized in the year of the Art Bank's 35th and the Canada Council's 50th Anniversaries!"

The RGA is a networking organization for bilingual businesses in Eastern Ontario and the Outaouais.
