ZIMMERMAN ART EXHIBIT The second exhibition to be held in the new gallery was a showing of the work of Leo Zimmerman, a young American painter recently returned from five years of painting in Paris, France. The Zimmerman exhibit is as new and tentative as the Chew col- lection is old and established. This collection of non-objective paintings was a stimulating experience for Wil- mingtonians and it was received with considerable acceptance by the com- munity. It was a real treat to be able to experience two such exhibits which were so contrasting.

ART EXHIBIT A private collection of works by eleven of the most famous American and European painters of the 18th and 19th centuries, was displayed at the Fine Arts Center dur- ing the week of dedication. Philip R. Adams, director of the Cincinnati Art Museum, opened the exhibit and ad- dressed the students and faculty of Wilming- ton College on the subject of “The Role of Art in the Culture of Today.” James F. Jackson, also a member of the Cincinnati Museum staff for many years, supervised the installation of the “Old Masters” collection. Featured in this show- ing, from the private collection of Mr. and Mrs. James A. Chew, of Xenia, were fif- teen paintings. Thomas Gainsborough, Gilbert Stuart, Sir Anthony Van Dyck, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Vigee Levrun and Jean Baptiste Camille Corot were six of the eleven painters whose works were seen in the art gallery in the Fine Arts Center.
