Covers Interiors; Text from the black-covered brochures: Taylor Art School - Organized in 193l The Taylor Art School is located at Mason and St. Joseph Streets, two blocks from down town, in Saugatuck, Michigan. Classes will be open during the summer for beginners and advanced students. The aim of the school is to stimulate creative work by providing an artistic environment for the student who desires to maintain his originality while gaining essential knowledge of his craft. Mrs. Taylor's children classes have been developing some rare talent. In line with these ideas a student may drop in for one lesson or come for the whole summer. As the individuality of each student is seriously considered and preserved in this way, the spirit of classes is enthusiastic, and the work produced shows no deadening uniformity. Private instruction is also given for those who feel this method would be more valuable to them. Cora Bliss Taylor — Artist Leon Kroll; at Provincetown School with Charles W. Hawthorne and with Andre L'Hote in Paris; at the Art Students League,
