With aid of the Women's Institutes of Snelgrove and Cheltenham, an art exhibition was held in an old school house, on the 3rd Line, in the west half of Chinguacousy. Meant to raise funds for the creation of a museum and art gallery, it featured artworks by prominent local artists, and items from the Bull Collection. A temporary home for the collection was found in 1963, at the Credit Valley Conservation Authority offices. Thousands attended the weekend exhibits, but the structure wasn't winterproof. Thomas H. B. Symons, "custodian" of the Bull Collection, was enlisted later on that year.
