ARTISTS IN UNIFORM
Sit,-TLhe recent "Artists in Uniform" Exhibition in Wellington caused very considerable interest. The number of people who went rather suggests a wider interest in the arts than New Zealanders are often given credit for. It is however hard to understand why this display was not housed in the National Art Gallery. Four months elapsed between the time of the closing of entries for the exhibition-which was advertised as October 31-and its actual opening. Surely it would have been possible dur ing that time to arrange for the hanging of the pictures in the most fitting setting -the art gallery of the capital city.
ART NOW
(Lowry Bay).
po letter was submitted to the Secretary of Committee of Management of the Art Gallery who replied: "The National Art Gallery has been taken over by the Government for the duration of the war, and is closed to the public. The lery is housed temporarily in the D.I.C. wilding, where it has only one exhibition room of comparatively small dimensions. This room it has to share with the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts. When the New Zealand Academy is using the room, the National Gallery has to vacate it, and vice versa. In the National Gallery proper, there are ones ate rooms which can be lent for hibitions, but in the temporary p sag my are no such rooms. Consequently, it x not been possible for the committee ta lend the gallery to other institutions or departments.
