Why
Join The Heliconian Club?
One of the primary pleasures of membership in the Toronto
Heliconian Club is that of regular contact with women
in creative professions other than one's own.
The members are vital women of all ages in visual arts,
music, writing, acting, dancing and related fields in
the humanities.
We welcome gifted women to the Heliconian Club. A new
member will find that she is among friends, enjoying and,
as her time permits, helping to organize or to participate
in the Club's many activities.
Heliconian
Hall
A new member will be at home in historic Heliconian Hall.
Its main room is a large hall with vaulted ceiling and
good acoustics, a stage and grand piano, good space and
facilities for art exhibitions and a generous fireplace.
This room is used for dining, exhibitions, a sketch group,
concerts, lectures and meetings. Adjoining it are a small
and graceful meeting room and bar, a well-appointed kitchen
and an office for the Club's executive secretary. A Heliconian
Club member may reserve Heliconian Hall for her own use
once a year at a reduced rental rate.

executive for final approval.
