The Friends is a large volunteer organization founded in 1922 to further the programs and extend the public image of The Minnea- polis Institute of Arts. The Friends' 1976 "Pink Palace" Designers' Showcase generated $82,000 for The Minneapolis Institute of Arts and enabled the museum to be open to the public an addi- tional seventeen hours a week. The Friends' 1978 "Springtime at Skinner House", held in the his- toric Ramsey Hill area of St. Paul, produced revenues of $30,000 which the Friends designated to underwrite the costs of the Vic- torian High Renaissance Exhibition catalog. As president of the Friends of the Institute, I am grateful for the initial bequest of Mrs. Halpin's lovely French house and gardens and for the gift of time that hundreds of volunteers have donated to make this project a success. We hope that your visit to "Green Trees" will be memorable. Mrs. Bradley C. Bowman II President, Friends of the Institute P.S. Membership in the Friends is open to anyone upon joining The Minneapolis Society of Fine Arts, the governing organization for The Minneapolis Institute of Arts and The Minneapolis College of Art and Design.
