John Little Archive
By Craig Klinkhoff
In recognition of my professional commitment to the preservation and promotion of Canadian art, John Little’s family entrusted me with the role of steward of his artistic legacy and studio archives. This responsibility includes overseeing the organization, documentation, and conservation of his archives, as well as helping to ensure that future exhibitions, publications, and scholarly research accurately reflect the scope and significance of his contributions.
