COMMITTEES REPORT

The executive committee of the
Richmond Art association held a
meeting Saturday night at the office
Of Supt. L. A. Mott. Several of the
members were present and some
quite encouraging reports were made.
Those who are giving Of their time
and labor to keep alive this move
ment in Richmond are well pleased
with the prospects for the coming
exhibit There is unity of feeling
and a willingness on the part OF
many to help the work along that
augurs well. It was thought the fact
| that this is a campaign year and also
the year of the st. Louis exposition
might interfere to some extent with
| the interest in the exhibit, but, so
/ far, there is no evidence that such
will be the case; In fact, there was
never time in the history of the
| Art association when more interest
was manifested and the outlook for
profitable exhibit was better.
j. E. Bundy, chairman Of the com
mittee on exhibit Of paintings, re-
ported considerable work already
done. A list of artists has been made
up who will be asked to contribute
and several splendid pictures are In
view. There will be two or three new
features of interest One will be a
collection Of miniatures, and it is
hoped to get a collection of represen-
tative English art and also a collec-
ton of water colors.
The committee on sketches has In
view collection of work that will
be contributed largely by artists who
are local or who were formerly of
Richmond. One of these is Charles
WATSON, who now has studio In
Philadelphia and who has expressed
willingness to display some Of his
work.
The exhibit of japanese art viii be
feature of great interest. Mrs. j.
NJ. Yaryan, who is chairman of this
committee, reported by letter that
Boston dealer is willing to send on
an exhibit that will be representative
and that it will be possible to Sc
cure Ernest Fennollosa for a lecture.
Mr.. Fennollosa is a world authority
on japanese art and has been covered
with honors by the Mikado Of Japan
and the savants of America. He will
pass through Richmond in June en-
route to ST. Louis, and it is proposed
to have him lecture at that time. Mrs.
Yaryan was authorized to proceed
with her negotiations to this end.
Owing to membership on other
committees Mrs Walter Hutton re-
