THE NEBRASKAN Friday, March 30, 1945 Art Demand and Appreciation For State Artists' Work Grows As the increasing demand for and appreciation of the work of Nebraska artists becomes more and more evident, the University of Nebraska department of art with the co-operation of the ex tension division, is conducting an extensive program of distribution of their work thruout Nebraska and other states. Two large exhibitions will be sent out during April, as a pari of this program one to Beatrice, and the other to Topeka, Kas. Beatrice will hold its civic, school and church sponsored art festi val April 10-13. Three hundred dollars worth of pictures were sold in a previous exhibition. Tours Arranged. Miss Kady Faulkner of the Uni versity's art department has, for the past five seasons, arranged a tour of matted original water colors, drawings, and prints, to talling about seventy pieces, in cluding the work of Miss Faulk ner, Mr. Dwight Kirsch, Leonard Thiessen, and J. Richard Sorby. The showings have been so popular that it has been necessary to send out two groups of pic tures to galleries in Pennsylvania. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Oklahoma, Colorado, Wyoming and Utah. Important Exihibition. The most important annual ex hibitions in this state which fea ture selections of Nebraska art are the annual fall exhibit in Morrill hall which is sponsored jointly by the Lincoln Artist's Guild, usually held in April or May in a Lincoln department store: the Six-States Exhibition in the Joslyn Memorial in Omaha held annually in December; and the annual fall exhibition of the Grand Island Sketch Club, in the Yancey Hotel. In the current exhibition of the Nebraska Art association which closes today, a section of the ex hibit is devoted to Nebraska art ists. The association has main tained a consistent policy of in cluding work by a group of Ne braska artists who are continuing to produce work of distinction which is shown outside of the state. A check-up of the last ten years of the Nebraska Artists As sociation reveals that 70 Nebras kans have ben included 20 of them former residents of the state who were living elsewhere at the time their work was shown in Lincoln. This' year's exhibition includes paintings by 14 artists and ceramic figures by three sculptors. Service Begins. . The department of art's exten sive exhibition service was be gun about six years ago when the university extension division, with the help of the department ol art launched an experimental plan for a wider distribution of art exhibits to schools, clubs, and communities thruout the -state. This resulted in a series of travel ing exhibitions the idea having been fostered by Nellie May Schlee Vance, Lincoln, who vol unteered her services for this project and who is now Director of Art in Extension for the Uni versity of Nebraska. J In addition to this far-reaching service two types of larger ST. PAUL METHODIST 12th and M Dr. Gerald Kennedy Pastor Easter Services (6:30 A. M. Sunrise Communion Service ) 9:30 A. M. and 11:09 A. M. Morning Worship Sermon :THE POWER AND THE GLORY exhibitions, known as the junior and senior art galleries have been shown in many communities at schools libraries, and iairs. These exhibitions, too. have included original paintings by artists of Ne braska as well as by American artists, as represented in the Uni versity's permanent collections. Tho recognition has come to many living Nebraska artists, ex hibiting is not often a "paying business" for them. Costs of art materials, mat board, frames, and shipping add up to an amount each year that is rarely balanced by sales. This has been a "boom" year for art sales all over the United -States and Nebraskans are beginning to buy art even work by artists of their own state or community. Nebraskans Leave. In previous years artists who were native Nebraskans have gone elsewhere to gain recognition, to make a living and Nebraska has become known as "a place many creative artists have come from." A group of cartoonists from Ne braska won highest reputation in the field of publication, ranging from cartooning to typographical page designs. But, up until the nresent time Nebraskans were slow to show interest in the work of artists of their state. However, now Nebraska artists are producing work of quality and quantity to satisfy the grow ing demand, both at home and in other states art is beginning to mean more to the people of the state that produces it. Alec Templcton Plays in Concert Thursday Night Alec Templeton, the young Welsh-born piano humorist, ap pears at the University Coliseum next Thursday, April 5, on the Lincoln Symphony concert series.

Schultz, director of the University of Nebraska State Museum, has returned from Cal ifornia, where he, with Charles H. Falkenback, of the Frick Lab oratories of the American Mu seum of Natural History, New York, studied fossil collections of some of the California educa tional institutions. The study was made in connec tion with a research project, being conducted by Schultz and Fal kenback to discover the method of development of the animal line of Areodonts, small pig-like an imals, which lived during the age of mammals, when they were the most common animals in ex istence, although they have been studied perhaps less than have other animals of that era. Schultz and Falkenback have been working on this research project since 1939, and up until the war began, they did research together every year. The study in California was Dr. Schultz's first research work since 1942, when he made his last trip to New York. Mvt of the work in California was conducted in the University of California in Berke ley, and the California Institute of Technology, in Pasadena.
