The exhibition will include about 190 art works, with over 100 oil paintings, about 40 water colors and drawings, and 16 pieces of sculpture. Work by several Ne braskans, Roger Holt, Sidnee Liv ingston, Charles Rain and Lloyd Wulf, will be shown.

This, as a rule, character izes the modern artists." After the initial day, open to Association members only, gallery talks will be given on the follow ing Sundays until the exhibit closes.
