SOCIETY OF ARTS.
A meeting of gentlemen favorable to the formation of a society of the above description in Canterbury was held on Wednesday afternoon in St. Michael’s school-room. The meeting, which was well ■attended, appointed a provisional committee and a sub-committee to draw up a code of roles. The rules of the Otago Art Society were read over and discussed. It was finally resolved that, as scon as the rules were drafted, a meeting of all those interested in the movement should be called by advertisement, to be held on the 7th inst., when the society should be duly formed and its constitution settled. It was suggested that the body of the society should consist of working and non-working members, the former of whom would be entitled to exhibit pictures at periodical exhibitions, which exhibitions, too, might be opened to members of similar institutions in Now Zealand, and at which original paintings of merit might bo shown. The movement is one that is sure to be taken -up warmly by all those interested in forwarding the fine arts in Canterbury.
