MARTHA'S VINEYARD SCHOOL OF ART,
Arthur R. Freedlander, Vineyard Haven, Mass.
This is thefifth season of the Martha's Vineyard School of Art, conducted by Mr. Arthur R. Freedlander, and it would be difficult to overestimate the benefits it has disposed, not only to students but also to the Island in general and Vineyard Haven in particular. Its presence has caused many to spend the summer on the Island who otherwise would probably never have come here, and a prominent feature of its work - sketching tours to the very numerous points of interest on the Island - has proved a potent factor in making the Island's charms more generally appreciated. The plan of study includes outdoor classes in landscape, marine and figure painting with three criticisms a week; and there is a special course for students in architecture, for the purpose of developing facility in the use of water colors and washes. A prospectus will be sent on application to A. R. Freedlander, Vineyard Haven, Mass., or 80 West 40th Street, New York City.
