EXHIBITIONS FOR DECEMBER

Abstract

The exhibition for Michigan Artists under the auspices of the Scarab Club, containing one hundred and forty-one works by fifty-seven artists, will be on view until December 31st. The jury consisting of Robert Reid, of New York, George W. Stevens, Director of the Toledo Museum of Art and Myron Barlow, rejected over half of the works submitted. Considering that this has been a year when everyone has been engrossed in war projects, the activity on the part of the art workers of this locality is gratifying. That this annual exhibition is an incentive and a stimulant to production is seen in the growth of the number of exhibitors. The first exhibition in 1910 contained less than a dozen names. The number has steadily increased from year to year. The prize awards for 1918 are as follows: The Scarab Club Gold Medal to Mr. Joseph W. Gies for his " Portrait of Frank Scott Clark"; the Detroit Museum of Art First Prize to Herman Gabriel for his " Landscape Decoration ;" the Detroit Museum of Art Second Prize to Arthur Marschner for his "October Day;99 the Detroit Museum of Art Third Prize to Miss A. L. Thorn for her " Study of a Girl;" the Hopkin Memorial First Prize to Charles Waltensperger for his " Old Mission Church ;" the Hopkin Memorial Second Prize to Berthold Seiffert for his " Evening , Elkhart Lake;" the Frank Scott Clark Prize for the best painting of a head in oil will be awarded by vote of the Scarab Club members.
