The Coast Group are a group only in so far as they have in common their comparative youth and their training.

The variety of expression to be found in the works of these exhibitors who were all trained by the same few instructors, is a tribute both to the teachers and their pupils.

Some of the group are teaching and some are in the business world but each is still "studying". The belief that they must continue to work and study in order to progress excludes from their work the dogmatic attitude displayed by many "art groups".

They agree that they are just at the beginning . . .
