Show WILL BOYCOTT INSTITUTE. Artists Claim the State Institution Is Not Impartially Conducted. A meeting of the Society of Utah Artists Ar-tists was held at tho studio of L. Greono Richards Monday night Tho members of the socloty decided unanimously to refrain re-frain from exhibiting with tho Utah Art Institute, for tho reason that no good could accrue to tho Interests of local art or artists through their co-operation with tho institute under the existing conditions. The decision is the oxpectcd outcome of tho feeling among this branch of the artistic circle of Utah toward tho Stato Institution, which feeling has been growing grow-ing more bitter year by year. Tho artists of tho private society claim that tho State Institution Is not being manuged with tho fairness that should characterize such public Institutions, and that it is useless for any artist not in the cllquo to exhibit. ex-hibit. Tho trouble dates from tho refusal re-fusal of tho board of award to award the JCtfl Stato prize somo time ago, and tho matter was aired in the courts. |
