The International Society of Sculptors, Painters and Gravers was a union of professional artists that existed from 1898 to 1925, "To promote the study, practice, and knowledge of sculpture, painting, etching, lithographing, engraving, and kindred arts in England or elsewhere...".
[2] The society organised exhibitions, some for members only and some open to others, and social events such as musical evenings and soirées.
[1] The exhibitions were held in a number of London venues, and in other cities around England, including Nottingham and Manchester.
The prospectus issued by the new society read in part:[3] "… a Society for the promotion of Exhibitions of International Art has been formed, the aim of the organisers being to hold exhibitions of the finest art of the day … in May, June and July at Prince's Skating Rink, Knightsbridge, a building which when suitably altered and arranged will be unusually well adapted for that purpose.
The Gallery will be known as the International Gallery and a feature of the exhibitions will be the non-recognition of nationality in art …"Honorary and associate members included:[1] During World War I, the membership of German and Austrian artists was suspended.
