The Society’s Art Committee was organized in the days of the New York Chapter by Elfi Alvin and has been an outstanding success from the beginning! Exhibits of all types of media from the five Scandinavian countries have been offered to our members and friends of the Society. The Committee has invited artists to exhibit their works in various galleries, with the Society underwriting all or part of the expense. Tours of artists studios and discussions with the artists have been arranged for our members.
