wat] October 30, 1926 WINNETKA TALK ART LEAGUE ON WAY ~ TO BIGGEST SEASON Continued from Page 16) | night of the exhibition, when artists and friends gathered together infor- mally. The keynote of the meeting was that of cordiality, toward new artists, to- ward those interested in art though not artists themselves, and toward making this organization an inclusive rather than exclusive one. James Cody Ewell, president of the leagtie, presented the spirit of the league in such a way that those who before felt that the organization might | ill take place, and a catalogued dis- possibly exclude beginners, or those who could not actually draw, paint or sketch, were made to feel welcome at the exhibits. Evanston Joins League Started three years ago in the Com- munity House, with a handful of peo- ple who felt the urge to get together and give one another encouragement in the field of painting, drawing and sketching, the league has expanded and now includes towns all along the North Shore. With the mock solemn words that the League was in danger of be- ing swamped, that the league now had added one of the greatest of towns, the announcement was made that Evans- ton was now a member. Mr. Ewell spoke briefly of some of the summer's activities that the officers of the league had to care for. It seems that attention is being drawn to the league by other organizations of like character, and now that membership is becoming a matter of hundreds in- stead of tens, a power is growing that must be prepared for. Following the regular business, Mr. Ewell introduced Albert H. Ullrich of Evanston who spoke on his travels in Europe this summer. Mr. Ullrich stressed his trip through Spain, as be- ing most delightful, and said that in Spain one finds the new and creative in art. In Spain are voung artists not afraid to "try their wings," duce new and lovely art. lanes Amer- and down have not seen quaint old villages, where natives icans before. Tells of Chicago League Mr. Ewell then introduced W. T. Jones of Wilmette who snoke of the splendid work done by the Business Men's Art league of Chicago. This league, founded in 1920, now has a membership of about 200 men, none of whom arc under thirty years of age. In fact, no one is allowed to be- come a member until he has reached the enviable age of 30. The league has club rooms at 81 West Van Buren | street, and conducts classes for mem- bers at regular intervals. Feeling that the North Shore league | members would like to have in mind the entire program for the year, presi- dent Ewell then announced the various monthly meetings, their time and place. With members of the organization including almost every village, the pol- icy will be this year to hold each monthly meeting in a different town. In November, Ravinia will be host to the club. The meeting will be held in the charming little Community House in Ravinia, where "The Skeleton in the Closet," a play written by Mrs. Lulu Warmington, the Ravinia playwright, as she is known, will be presented. An exhibition of sketches drawn by the Ravinia Sketch club will be shown. This club meets and works all summer, and the exhibition will show their ac- complishments during this last sum- mer. In December the league will journey to the Woman's club of Evanston where north shore artists will exhibit. Tt is hoped that Mrs. Louise Hubbard and pro- | Tourists | luckily have not "found" many arts of | Spain, and one may wander through | will give a talk on "Landscape Gar- | dening," at this meeting. Mrs. Hub- bard is an authority on this subject. In Wilmette in January Wilmette artists will entertain the league in January, and in February, the meeting will be held in Highland | Park when Lionel Robertson will speak on block printing of fabrics, etc, March and April will find the league back at the Community House in Win- netka. The March meeting will be Bohemian Night, when painting smocks will be worn. Work done in the classes will be on exhibition. April will' mark the closing of the official year of the league's activities, | when the big exhibition will be held for the public.
