THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART

TELEPHONE: CIRCLE 5-8900
CABLES: MODERNART, NEW-YORK

August 10, 1950

Dear Subscriber:
  
The Museum announces with regret that the NEW YORK ART CALENDAR has ceased publication with the June issue. In the 30's, when the Museum took over the ART CALENDAR from the Municipal Art Committee, the exhibition listings realized the great need for a centralized source of this vital information. Recent years, however, have produced an inordinate duplication of art news information: the radio, daily press and various other media of gallery notices, art magazines, the weeklies - THE NEW YORKER, CUE, etc., thereby rendering the expense of compilation and distribution an unnecessary burden on the ever-increasing costs of Museum operation.

Enclosed with this letter is the rebate due you on the balance of your subscription. Please accept our sincere thanks for your interest and support in the past, and permit us on this unhappy occasion to offer our services to you in any way that is still within our means.

Sincerely yours,
Allen Porter

Allen Porter, Editor
