In cooperation with VENTURE, the club sponsored an essay contest. Students were given the opportunity to submit reviews or critical essays, the best of which were given to VENTURE for publication in the spring. 28 The primary function of the Fine Arts Club has been to make the student body more aware of, and alertered t0 paintings and artists in general.
