Reciprocity in Culture
— E are at the dawn of our artistic development," said Dorothy Helmtich, New South Wales president of CEMA, on her return to Australia from Britain. "For one thing, Australia will be the first country to have a resident representative of the British Council. . . +. The British Council will award, through CEMA, an annual scholarship to the most gifted Australian in any one art. It will carry travel costs, fees, and maintenance. The Council will arrange an exchange by which nearly in 1948 an exhibition of Scottish art will be taken around Australia, and in return we will send a representative Australian art exhibition to Scotland, which, after being shown in Edinburgh, will be taken all over the country. "The British Council," said Miss Helmrich, "has just cabled me that their first contribution to Australia will artive early in the new year. It will be the Wakefield collection of oil paintings and prints. Also they are negotiating with the Old Vic. Company, headed by Laurence Olivier and Ralph Richardson, to visit Australia next autumn... . "We should certainly have six permanent symphony orchestras instead of two. Then we have not nearly enough theatres, and what we have need modernising; and our national galleries are only good in parts. We must have the support of our Governments and of private people to realise the same vital living as they have in Britain."
