QUARTERLY GROUP SHOWS
It is in these circumstances that the Exhibition Committee decided to restrict One-man shows to three or four a year and to make them by invitation only. At the same time they instituted the Quarterly Group Shows in which the work of four or five artists will be hung together. Anyone may apply for inclusion in a Group show. It is intended that these shows should serve both established painters and also those who show real promise in their development. They will also ensure that the door remains wide open for any artist to approach the Committee and submit work for their consideration.
With great pleasure we present this, the First Quarterly Group Exhibition. We are confident that these exhibitions will prove a very successful feature of our programs.
