Art Exhibit
An exhibit of 14 paintings,
drawings and prints from the
North Carolina State Museum in
Raleigh, is currently on display
in the gallery of Case Art
Building, on the Atlantic
Christian College campus. The
works were chosen from the
1975 North Carolina Artists’
annual exhibit and are to be
displayed in selected galleries
throughout the state.
The original exhibit which was
shown at the museum, was
composed of 427 paintings,
drawings, prints, sculptures,
ceramics, weavings and other
crafts chosen from a record
number of entries.
The exhibit in Case Art
Building is the result of an at
tempt to give a representative
'iew of two-dimensional items
that are easily shipped. It is not
necessarily the best work from
the show, nor is it truly
representative of the vast
amount of talent in all the visual
arts in North Carolina today.
Those interested in con
temporary North Carolina art
will notice the exhibit reflects a
growing interest in realism.
“Song of Carolina.” by Janice
Patterson, and “Bertie County
Tobacco,” by Cecelia Hill, are
both paintings that depict
familiar country scenes which
viewers will find easy to enjoy.
A lithograph, “Safari Lady
Enthroned the Fowl and Jungle
Queen.’■ is a highly detailed
fantasy scene. “Metalloid
Design,” a large acrylic by Ruth
Ogle, is considered an
especially nice example of
abstract art in pleasing earth
colors.
Closing date for the exhibit is
Feb. 24. Individuals and school
groups are welcome. There is no
charge for admission. Gallery
hours are; weekdays, 10 a.m. to
4 p.m., and Sundays, 1:30-3:30
p.m.
Workshops will begin at 11:15
a.m.
A banquet lunch will be held in
the cafeteria of Hamlin Student
Center. Welcoming remarks will
be by Dr. Arthur d. Wenger,
president of the college. En
tertainment in the form of
Elizabethan music will be
performed by the Early Music
Ensemble of Atlantic Christian
College, with J. Ross Albert,
directing.
A film showing is scheduled
for 1:30 p.m.. featuring Sir
Laurence Olivier’s “Henry V,”
in the choral room of Hackney
Music Building. A Shakespeare
and video tape workshop is
scheduled for 3:15 p.m.
A number of seats for the

Where You .Are Planted. The
lx)ok is a collection of wisdoms
and inspirational remarks that
unite to form Ms Beaman's
simple and liveable philosophy
of life. In flipping through the
pitges, the reader sws that Ms

sources, including a wonuin she
