This concept was retained for over thirty years and went seamlessly into the annual Bayreuth art exhibitions, which are now organized by the Bayreuth Art Association. The members include artists such as Ferdinand Röntgen , Friedrich Böhme , Hanna Barth , Caspar Walter Rauh , Anton Richter , Arthur Seedorf and Rudolf Jakubek .
