On the initiative of C. J. Nilsson the sculptor, 774 Racine Avenue, a number of Swedish artists met last Thursday evening at Hotel Bismarck in this city, to discuss the organizing of a Swedish-American society of art. All those present were in favor of the organization of an art society, the purpose of which will be, among other things, to develop co-operation between Swedish artists and Swedish-American artists and to arrange for annual exhibitions of art in Chicago.

A second conference, to which all the Swedish artists in Chicago are to be invited, is to be held at the same place on this coming Friday, at 8 P.M. At that meeting proposals for statutes will be discussed, and the organization may take place. It is intended to push the matter so as to make it possible 2to present an art exhibition next spring.
