She'll be offering painting and drawing for adults plus two classes for children in mixed media and art from around the world. There are several sessions of each of these with varying length and varying prices. Meg has been teaching art to children for nearly 15 years including five years in area schools for TRAC and the Mountain Arts Program. For details, call her at 688-3009 or write Meg Peterson, Rt. 3, Box 326, Bakersville, NC 228705. ■■ PENLAND OVERTURE The Penland area will be immortalized in music when the Penland Overture by Alan Kaufman is premiered by the Charlotte Symphony on September 24,1989. Alan, who is the nephew of Gloria Schulman, Norm's wife, received a grant from the Charlotte Arts and Science Council to compose a work for the Symphony. "As soon as I got the grant," Alan said, "I rode up to Penland for inspiration from the mountains and the people. So it was only fitting that I should call the work the Penland Overture." The new work is in the style of Copland with some jazz themes. SO LONG TO WINTER
