Show Docent Exhibit Call for Entries Get ready now! We are having a Docent artwork exhibit in June 1999. This exhibit will highlight our docents creative talent. We know we have lots of creative energy at the Museum and we would like to show it off. The exhibit will last from June 6 - June 27, 1999 and will be in the Hansen Gallery. Any artwork may be submitted: painting, sculpture, drawing, multi-media, textiles, even music you have written. Works must be submitted by April 26, 1999. The Education Department will be curating the show so butter us up now (just kidding!) The main consideration for curating the show will be space so keep in mind our size limitations in the Hansen Gallery. When you submit your works we will need your name, title, medium, and date of the artwork. We will then process the loan forms and your work will be ;nsured while it is in the Museum. Remember - April 26, 1999 is the deadline for turning in your works to the Museum. For more information call Virginia 581-3580 or email her at vcatherall@umfa.utah.edu f- -- -diicent Car"n'er- - - - j I Fine tours for your enjoyment by Judy Waters I I I I I I I I As you may know, trips that offer you the best in laccommodations, travel arrangements and lsightseeing need to be planned well in advance of lthe actual departure date.
