In other cities.
Washington as an Art Center.
:. In otEer lands where art receives the
support of the government the capital is
almost invariably the art center of the
country, and when the United States gov
eminent comes to take an active interest
in art there is every reason to suppose
that Washington will as an art center at
least equal any of the American cities at
present more favored in this respect.
In the Absence of government patronage
the artists themselves are endeayoring
to give the exhibitions the national char
acter which they feel belongs to them by
right, for they realize that the exhibitions
OF the nations capital should not be limit
ed In their scope. but be open to the best
artists IN every state. The new gallery
has paved the way for all this and has
made possible wider sphere of action.
