BROOKLYN CHAPTER OF AMERICAN INSTITUTE
OF ARCHITECTS.
The Brooklyn Chapter of the American Institute of Architects will hold its seventh annual exhibition at the Pouch Gallery, Clinton Avenue, from May 6 to May 18 inclusive. Exhibits of drawings, photographs, sculpture, and objects of industrial art are desired from all interested.
In order to stimulate the artistic development of the pupils in the art schools of Brooklyn, the chapter has instituted a competition for a cover design for the catalogue of the 1907 exhibition, to be limited to the pupils of these schools. A price of $25 for the first and $15 for the second best designs will be awarded.
All competitive designs for catalogue cover, and drawings for illustrations in the catalogue, should be sent to, Walter L. Cassin, 375 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, Secretary of the Exhibition Committee, who will also furnish detailed information to all intending competitors and exhibitors, who are requested to make immediate application to him, so that there may be no delay in making the final arrangements for the exhibition.
The chapter will give an invitation reception and press view on the evening of May 6 and the exhibition will be open to the public free from May 7 to May 18 inclusive. A number of special occasions during the exhibition are being arranged for, of which due notice will be given later. The last exhibition was a great success, and it
is hoped that the present one will be even more so, and to this end the cordial support of all interested is earnestly solicited.
