Bargains in art are being offered at the B.C. Artists' Christmas
Exhibition and Sale which was formally opened at 3 o'clock this afternoon
in the lecture hall of the Vancouver Art Gallery by Mrs.
Jonathan Rogers. The 226 pictures, representing the work of 84 individual contributors, are being offered for sale at prices ranging from 1.50 and 2.50 up to $55. There are more pictures around $4 and $5 than there are around $4$ (sic) and $50, and the visitor, who wants to do some Christmas shopping in pictures, has a wide variety to choose from. Youngest of the exhibitors is 11-year-old Robert Johnson Paterson, son of the artist, Alexander Paterson. The youngster is making his Art Gallery debut with a drawing in crayons of a mighty ship. His father, whose water color paintings have frequently hung in the Art Gallery exhibitions, is also an exhibitor in this show.
