"CHILDREN'S ART CLASS"—By BEN YOMEN
The Art Gallery established by Metro Music House at 10324
Dexter, where an exhibit of the work of Detroit artists is on dis-

The plan is to have a continuous exhibit of the best works of
Detroit artists in a neighborhood display room.
Ben Yomen's "Children's Art Class," one of the oil paintings
now exhibited at the Metro art gallery, is shown above.
The artists represented in the present exhibit are from The

than 50 paintings to the exhibit.
