 For many years artists and art lovers have complained of the lack Of art inter- est in Birmingham. It was found almost impossible to keep alive any art move ment. The time must have been just right this winter for a fresh attempt in this direction, as the newly organized Bir- mingham Art association seems destined to flourish judging by the successful opening of their first annual exhibit. Everyone has contributed generously of their talent and the pubic Dn this the opening day has certainly shown like gem erosity in their attendance and approval.
 The exhibition consists of all branches of art-oils, water eolors and pasteies. sketches in crayon and ink, portraits, miniatures. sculpture and decorative arts and crafts.
 In mentioning special pieces of work the Salon painting by Meroniez. of course, deserves first place. This is a moonlight marine and is the property of MT Hugh Martin.
 A collection of miniatures by Menzel, whose work is well known in Birming- ham, is on exhibition near the entrance and attracts much attention. Some good speciments of Mrs. W. s. Lovels minia- ture work is shown. also some done by Miss Marie Boyd, who has been studying recently in Chicago.
 Much interest is shown in the oil studies done by Miss Della Deyer In New York art schools. Among other oils are some of Miss Rumphs market scenes. These are charming, vivid bits of color, some of 1t local, one scene being done at Five Points on the South Highlands; the others are Venetian. Water color is a popular medium, and there are numbers of sun shiny landscapes, Italian scenes and bits of woods and water. Among these many favorable comments have been made on Mrs. Mary Lipton's Spring Afternoon There are a number of water color sketches by MT. Leslie Welton, architect, who is putting color into architecture most attractively. Two child's heads in water color by Miss Dorothea Orr have won much admiration. They show marked individuality of style and slsillful eXecu- ton. They were done from the favorite model of Miss Muntz, under whom Miss Orr studied in Toronto. Compliments have been showered on another piece of Miss Orr's work, graceful sculptured figure of woman. Mrs. Elliott of To- ronto exhibits a portrait sketch in pas. telles, done during her visit in this city. Some of Miss Mary Krkpatrick's sketches in pastele are distintcly artistis in treat ment besides being excellent 1ikenesses of her models.
 Altogether the exhibition is most cred itable and successful and should make solid foundation for the Art association.
