GALLERY*S FIRST NATIONAL EXHIBITION OPENS FRIDAY
Opening Friday at the Joe and Emily Lowe Artj Gallery will be the First Miami National Painting Exhibit ion--one of the tew ""ftciLlUlI'As sponsored in the United States. It is sponsored by Burdine*s, under auspices of the Beaux Arts .and the Arts Council, affiliates of the Gallery. On display will be 106 paintings by 101 artists from 24 states and the District of Columbia. They were selected from 1313 paintings entered by 797 artists from 39 states and the D. of C. following announcements mailed to artists throughout the country last December. Once the 106 were chosen by a three-member jury, awards jurors Emily Genauer, NY Herald Tribune art critic, and Bartlett Hayes, Jr., director of the Addison Gallery of American Art, selected the 13 paintings which would win for their creators a total of $6,000. Members of the Beaux Arts and the Arts Council provided the top prize money, the Arts Council the first purchase prize of $1500, the Beaux Arts, second purchase prize of $1,000. Both paintings will become part of the permanent collection of the Gallery. Another seven purchase prizes, ranging from $750 to $300, will be awarded by business organizations, four special distinction awards by business and individuals, for a total of $3500.
While the exhibition was made possible by the cooperation of both art-minded groups and art-conscious business firms of the area, it would not have been possible at all without the support of Burdine* s. National competitions are few because galleries lack both space to receive and store the hundreds of entries, and funds to cover the multitude of costs involved: insurance, printing, photographs, catalogs, mailing costs, etc. , Burdine*s underwrote all these, and made available its warehouse facilities for the weeks of receiving, judging and returning of paintings not accepted.
Nor would the exhibition have been possible without the hundreds of hours of woman power devoted by members of the Beaux Arts and Arts Council in mailing brochures, receiving and checking entries and attending to the endless details involved...all of which was coordinated and-assisted by the Gallery*s dedicated staff.
