THE MUSEUMS ASSOCIATION CIRCULATING EXHIBITION
THE MUSEUMS ASSOCIATION CIR-
CULATING EXHIBITION a 0
IT is habitual in our island state for the
provinces to bestow upon London most
of the art brains which they produce. The
art brains, knowing as they do the sacri-
fices involved in any refusal on their part
to be so bestowed, may think that provin-
cial indifference to art causes this. Surely
not—it must be altruism, and very costly
altruism at that, for the provinces involve
themselves in the necessity for subsequent
appeals to London whenever any art is
required in mass. 0000
Smaller provincial towns, where bes-
towal is unavoidable, deserve consider-
ation, and when the Museums Association,
after a speech by Mr. E. Rimbault Dibdin
at their 1922 meeting at Leicester, ap-
pointed a Circulating Art Exhibitions
Committee, their regard was toward the
smaller towns. Leicester, Bury, Sunder-
land and Bootle have now seen the exhibi-
tion, and Blackpool succeeds. In forming

this exhibition of work by very eminent
artists the committee had the valuable
assistance of Messrs. Patrick Adam, R.S.A.,
Frank Brangwyn, R.A., Richard Jack,
R.A., Howard Somerville and Algernon
Talmage, A.R.A. The exhibition consists
solely of oil paintings. 000
The practical educational value of the
scheme, whereby the work of men like
Sir William Orpen, Sir John Lavery, Sir
H. Hughes-Stanton, D. Y. Cameron,
Arnesby Brown, Professor Gerald Moira,
Philip Connard, Charles Sims and others
of outstanding ability is brought to the
doors of many who might otherwise see
little of art, is obvious. 000
The scheme is happy, full of possi-
bilities, and as its management takes place
in London, it proves that altruism is not
confined to the provinces, and that if Lon-
don takes she can also give—a charming
thought. Keen appreciation has been shown
in the towns visited, and other varieties of
art exhibitions might follow the present
very desirable undertaking. J. W. S.
