ART ASSOCIATION Q0000000Q0000000000000$0000$ HOME TRACK MEET 4- n ' k ANNUAL EXHIBITION OPENS TO NIGHT IN ART HALL. Purpose of the Organization Univer sity In Circuit Great Paint ings in the Collection. The annual exhibition of tho Nebras ka Art Association, held hitherto In January, opens tonight In tho Art Hall of tho Library building and will re main open for thre'e weeks. The alms of the association and the excellent character of the exhibitions are well known to the older students of tho University; those who are hero for the first time this year, have yet to make trie acquaintance of one of the most Important of tho younger insti tutions of Nebraska. The association came Into existence some twenty years ago. It was con ceived by a littlo group of enthusi astic people who realized what art may mean for lite and how great a misfortune It Is that tho young people of t Nebraska, and especially tho hun dreds of University students from all parts of the state, who hardly know what a really good painting looks llko, should not have sbmo opportunity to begin their art education by making the acquaintance of tho best work of distinguished American artists. This, tho founders believed, could be done In two ways; first, by bringing here each year and placing on exhibition, a choice collection of paintings; sec ond, by forming a permanent collec tion that soma day might be placed In a beautiful art building and bo opened to the public. In tho face of great difficulties, tho association lias struggled on; holding Its annual exhi bition and ridding oach year one or two good pictures to its collection. This year a circuit has been formed with Kansas City and the University of Kansas and the pictures .now on ex hibition hero have already been ex hibited' there. Tho work of the' association should appeal strongly to tho students of tho University both for the personal" ben efit that can bo derived from the study of tho pictures and for tho good that can be done by tho establishment of a permanent art gallery. Tho as sociation cannpt continue Its work successfully unless It receives more hearty support than it has recolyod in the pfTst. Last year, less than two hundred and fifty students, out of the three thousand registered, entered the rArt Hall during the exhibition. Tho . season tickets have been placed very low (fifty cents for students) and It ought to be possible to sell this year double the number sold last yea'r. The actual expenses of handling tho pic tures has always been largo and has oaten up all but .three or four hundred dollars, about the, price of, a small picture. An additional two hundred and fifty tickets taken by the Uni- vorsity students would mean one hun dred and-twenty-five dollars more, or half the price of a picture. The num ber of tickets sold should be nearer one thousand than flVe, hundred. At .(Continued on. page 3.) JKJtJX 1U1 1 IVl V Saturday, April 27th MEMORIAL HALL EVERYBODY INVITED 00000000000 O O T. N.
