Biography

The Art Exhibitions Bureau, 7 Garrick Street, London, WC2 (which shared premises with Museums Association Circulating Art Exhibitions Committee) was founded in 1926 (?) with the intention of helping painters present their work to a broader audience. The organisation developed the idea of circulating exhibitions of contemporary art to arts venues across the UK to do this. It was founded and directed by Charles Robert Chisman (1874-1955) and co-directed by E. Rimbault Dibdin (1853-1941), curator of the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool. Chisman was also a representative of Foreign Art at the Canadian National Exhibition, 1905-1938 in 1935.
