The West Riverside School had the Elson Art exhibit on the evenings of February 1- 19, 1921.
Elson Art exhibits featured 200 reproductions of the world’s great masterpieces. I wasn't able to find much information on these exhibits other than the fact that schools across the country held Elson Art exhibits. The earliest reference I found dated to 1915 and the latest to 1929. These exhibits were designed to introduce both the children and the adults in the community to great art and to help them choose, at least according to one newspaper article, "art appropriate for the home."
