SOCIETY OF ARTS.
ANNUAL EXHIBITION.
Despite the war and the enlistment of several artists, the forthcoming annual exhibition of the Auckland Society of Arts bids fair to attain the success achieved in previous years. The painting, drawing, and sculpture sections, for which entries closed last Thursday, have been accorded support' which favourably compares with that received last year. The entries received are confined to New Zealand. Auckland being responsible for two-thirds of them.
Amongst the artists represented are : — Messrs. L. J. Steele, Frank Wright, Walter Wright, T. L. Drummond, C. N. Worsley, and Menzies Gibb. An unexpected feature is the paucity of the entries of pictures dealing with the war. The revived interest in arts and crafts has induced the committee to add that section to the exhibition for the first time for many years, and when the entries closed yesterday a fair number of exhibits had been, received. The Selection Committee is at present hard at work, and the pictures which run the gauntlet of their censorship should be viewed with no little interest at the exhibition, which opens on June 1, and concludes on June 17.
