This series consists of artist and project files, promotional materials, administrative files, and correspondence related to the Western Front Exhibition Program. Jonathan Middleton was the Director/Curator of the Exhibition Program between 1999 and 2005, and he features prominently in administrative, artist, and organization correspondence. Exhibitions generally take place in the Western Front Society’s Front Gallery, though Exhibition Program records include agreements with other gallery spaces around Vancouver. The majority of records in this series are artist/exhibition files. The Exhibition Program is also responsible for most Western Front publications other than the Front Magazine, including books and catalogues.
Exhibition Program applications to the Canada Council of Arts (shortened to CC) Visual Arts Section and other grant funding sources are also included in this series.

This series consists of administrative files, grant and funding applications, correspondence, minutes, project information, and promotional materials mostly from 1983-2013. There is some material from the 1970s, as the general programming administration umbrella covered what became the individual Programs until the early 1980s, and the separation between general programming administrative records and administrative records for the Western Front as an organization were less distinct.
Project files include: Electronic Arts Festivals, Art Auctions, and other fundraising events, and the Art Fair. Operating grants and funding applications include correspondence with funding bodies and fully or partially filled out application forms. The Western Front regularly applied for funding from the Canada Council for the Arts (often shortened to CC in file titles), the BC Arts Council (BCAC), the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN), the BC Lottery Corporation (BCLC), and the City of Vancouver. Special project and supplemental operating funding applications and grants also came from non-government sources, including the Hamber Foundation and Imperial Tobacco.
