Show ARTIST WRITES OF VISIT IN SPRINGVILLE Reflecting the reaction of tourists tour-ists and others who visit the high school Art Gallery .from distant states, was the letter received this week by Mrs. Mae Huntington of the art committee, from Herman P. Buri, artist of Birmingham, N.J. On the suggestion of Oris Huntington, Hunt-ington, son of Mrs. Huntington who lives in New Jersey, the artist decided to include Springville in his tour and after returning to his home wrote in part as follows: "One of the high points of my 10,000-mile trip through these wonderful U.S.A. is and will remain re-main my few hours stopover in Springville: I cannot get over the fine work you folks there are carrying car-rying on for the' dissemination of art appreciation. . There is just nothing here in the east that can remotely compare with it. Only in large cities can anything resemble your art gallery. "I expect to address a number of organizations this coming winter win-ter and shall take for my subject, "Springville and Its Spirit of Culture." Cul-ture." Many of my students and friends are still incredulous when I show them the literature you so kindly provided me with ... I have been thinking of exhibiting, in Springville next April and' would therefor appreciate further information as to the number of canvasses, packing, framing, etc. I am now contemplating a trip to the west coast in April 1949, where I had invitation to demonstrate demon-strate and exhibit my sculptured leather. This may work in with a visit to Springville." |
