Appreciation: Mr. Wallace Joyce - Varley Gallery benefactor

The Varley Art Gallery of Markham offers its sincere condolences to Wallace Joyce's family and friends. Mr. Joyce played an essential role in the growth of the Varley Gallery and in believing in the great things that the Frederick Horsman Varley Art Gallery of Markham could do. He trusted the Gallery and allowed us to present his collection and interpret his choices to the public. He supported the Varley Art Gallery’s building expansion to create an exhibition space dedicated to the Permanent Collection. Wallace Joyce was a true philanthropist supporting projects meaningful to him but that also made a significant contribution to the community. He had fond memories of Unionville, and shared them with us with great enthusiasm.

On behalf of our membership and of all members of the staff, I assure you that his legacy to our community will always be celebrated and remembered. Our thoughts are with you in this difficult time.

Yours Sincerely,

Francine Périnet
Director
The Frederick Horsman Varley Art Gallery of Markham
216 Main Street Unionville
Markham, On, L3R 2H1
