“115th Annual Exhibiting Artist Members” Exhibition
The National Arts Club
This event has ended.
Grand Gallery
In 1906 The National Arts Club celebrated its new headquarters on Gramery Park with an exhibition of American paintings belonging to member and collector William T. Evans. A successful businessman and renowned collector, Evans, as the Club’s Art Committee chair, was instrumental in creating the Artist Life Membership Program and establishing the annual exhibition we now know as the Exhibiting Artist Members Exhibition.
For many years the annual exhibition featured the work of Artist Life Members almost exclusively. After the program’s suspension in 1934 (there were intermittent attempts to revive it in the 1940s), the Club began a campaign to attract more dues paying artists and to offer them the opportunity to showcase their work annually. In doing so, the Club not only expanded the scope of its exhibition programming but the diversity of its modern membership.
