30 WINNETKA TALK February 5, 1927 North Shore Art Patrons Are Active at Hoosier Salon North Shore Day Finds Hostesses In Local Circles A few years ago art was a thing for museums and the select few. It was treated with distant awe when it was treated at all, and to most people art was a subject as strange as life on Mars, and artists were proverbially poor. Today artists thrive and art has filtered into many more modest homes in the form of paintings and sculpture and other original works of art, and the art spirit prevails in even more homes in objects of every day use. Each opening exhibition means addi- tional opportunity to buy, and the Hoosier Salon which opened last Sat- urday has drawn many buyers of art and prospective purchasers. Attracting the interest of north shore art patrons is this Hoosier Salon, which has dominated Chicago art circles since its opening and the salon activities centered yesterday on residents of the north shore in "North Shore Day." There was a tour of the galleries at 10:30 o'clock in the morning, conducted by Lucie Hartrath, one of the exhibi- tors. Friday was also Old De Pauw day. The special hostesses for the North Shore day were Mrs. William A. Kendrick, Mrs. Ernest Freeman and Mrs. Paul R. Leach, all of Wilmette, Mrs. Carl P. Hubbard of Evanston and Mrs. William F. Roberts of Highland Park. Mrs. George Gonsalves of Win- netka is college chairman for the whole salon. Ralph Fletcher Seymour brings honor to north shore art in winning with his nine etchings, the Frank Cun- ningham prize of $200 for etchings. "The Skokie" and "Lake Bluff at Ra- vinia" are local subjects he has chosen to exhibit. Mrs. Glenn C. Bull of Winnetka was chairman of the committee of four in charge of Old De Pauw day. There was a tour of the galleries at 2 o'clock and tea afterwards. Mrs. Ralph Rock- wood, also of Winnetka, was an assist- ing hostess. Bishop Edwin Holt Hughes, ex-president of De Pauw, and Federal Judge James H. Wilkerson were the speakers. There are a number of north shore patrons and patronesses of the exhibi- tion, and included in this list are: Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Freeman, Mrs. Wil- liam A. Kendrick, Mr. and Mrs. Hoyt King, all of Wilmette; Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Crilly and Mr. and Mrs. Olaf C. Steen of Winnetka; Mr. and Mrs. Ross Beatty of Highland Park; Mr. and Mrs. John C. Shaffer, Frank Cun- ningham, Scott Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur D. Nesbit, Mr. and Mrs. Carl P. Hubbard, Mr. and Mrs. G. Byron Killen and Mrs. Kathleen McBain of Evanston; and Mr. and Mrs. Lucius Teter of Lake Forest. Several of the donors of prizes reside on the north shore. They are Miss Mildred Veronese Beatty, who has donated the second sculpture prize of $100, John C. Shaffer, who gives the prize of $500 for the outstanding pic- ture of the exhibit, and Frank Cun- ningham, whose etching prize of $200 was won by Ralph Fletcher Seymour. Many branches in the art field are found in the galleries at Marshall Field's--painting, sculpture, water col- ors, pastels, etchings, miniatures, car- toons and woodblocks.
