Artrain Will Be At Smithfield Plant

assistance from the Mary Duke
Biddle Foundation.
Mrs. James E. Holshouser Jr.,
is serving as honorary chairman
and urges all North Carolinians
to take advantage of this op
portunity. Mrs. Holshouser
together with state arts officials
will be on hand as the festival is
launched at Smithfield
September 13.13.
The Artrain, as thousands of
North Carolinians will see it, is
being presented by the Michigan
Arts Council. While there is an
educational emphasis toward
young people, the Artrain holds
treats for grownups, too. All are
invited to share the unique
display of original art.
Artrain will bring to Smith-
field an impressive display of
original works by Picasso,
Rodin, Matisse and others.
Many of the works to be
exhibited are by major
Southeastern artists. Of
particular interest will be works
by seven artists from the Tar
Heel state.
Each of the communities
visited will develop a program
unique to its area with the best of
its artistic resources, including
the performing arts, crafts,
literature and the performing
arts. In each local area an edu
cational director has been
working since early spring with
school superintendents,
principals, teachers and
students.
The Artrain is the brainchild
of Mrs. William Milliken, wife of
Michigan’s governor, and E.
Ray Scott, executive director of
the Michigan Council for the
Arts, a state agency. They
pushed the idea to fruition after
seeing the success of an
automotive van art gallery in a
remote section of northern
Michigan.
Michigan maintains, a role in
planning the Artrain tours,
hiring the staff and assigning co
ordinators for the program,
education and community
involvement to do advance
work. Each host community
prepares a site, provides power
hookups, houses the resident
Artrain staff and publicizes the
visits, beginning as much as six
months in advance.
