THIS PAINTING entitled "Lost sad Found" is one of twenty by Paul Salisbury, prominent Utah artist, who is exhibiting at the Provo Utilities Building Art Gallery during the Renaissance Fair to Open In Salt Lake Cfv in June - SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH A five century leap into the past awaits June visitors to Salt Lake City at the second Renaissance Fair presented by the Utah Art League. 8 The fair, June and in a suburban meadow 5 south of the city, ( 1900 E. 9400 S.) promises an art show, 15th century entertainment and an easy return to the quiet life of the European Renaissance. The fair is designed to give artists in the Intermountain West a chance to display their wares. The only requirement is that they wear Renaissance dress and preserve the pastoral atmosphere the fair creates. The fair gives the visitor a chance to see and buy many unusual creations, and the artist a chance to show his products at a reduced cost and to a far larger audience than a gallery can offer. Art of all kinds, from jewelry, weaving, painting, sculpturing, wood carving, leatherworking, tapestry and metal working will be shown in nearly 200 booths set up by the artists. And the fair offers more. On a stage set up in a natural amphitheater in the eight acre meadow, performers will present recitals on 15th century 10-1- 1, 17-1- 24-2- instruments, puppet shows, drama and children's theater. Shows are scheduled every half hour during the three weekends of the fair. Like last year's Utah show, the fair also has archery contests, Irish King of the Log and other diversions for the visitors. Food and drink will be served in the fashion of the 15th century. The Renaissance Fair has proved to be a marketable idea for the Utah Art League. They have a similar fair set for Minneapolis this year and another tentatively set near Washington, D.C. "For the artist, it's a great opportunity to sell their stuff," Dave Coulam, one "of the organizers said. "We try to create a fun atmosphere and a place where a visitor can come, see some really good art by local people and have a great time doing it. minds. According to class members, the formula fo telling the dramatic story is simple : Do it! "If you have a story to tell and a flair for writing, you have the essentials," according to the instructor Max Golightly. "The only thing you may lack is the and you only gain know-he- that by trying." Class registrants begin their work with an overview of such problems as form and approach in writing the drama, and then each student pursues his particular interest with the guidance of the other class members as well as the instructor. If plays produced in the class measure up to a high standard of excellence they may be produced on the BYU stage. In the past year, four plays written by students in the class have been performed. One of the productions, "A Sceptre, A Sword, A Scented Rose," was featured in the Mormon Festival LOGAN The 32nd Annual Summer Music Clinic will be held June 0 at Utah State history 19-3- University with nationally recognized conductors and clinicians participating. The clinic is open to high school and junior high music students who have completed the seventh grade, and to undergraduates, graduates and music teachers. Courses offered will include symphonic band, concert band, clinic band, symphony orchestra, choir, girls chorus, action in writing." Another student added, "As a we read and discuss classmate's efforts, we all share the worry and responsibility of making his play say what he wants it to say." Plays written in the class may be reworked many times on the suggestion of other class members. Some are scrapped completely when they meet with negative class response. One student who had this rejection experience commented that he must have been too close to his own work to see the flaws." "People who believe you sit down to write a play beginning with the first scene and progressing to the end have never tried to write a play," to Professor according Golightly. "Plays are written in flashes of insight and inspiration and reworked, revised and replanned many times until they succeed in telling the story in the best possible way." Several students commented that they had not realized how difficult it actually was to write a play until hey had personally made the attempt. g Summer five-wee- Reading Program Set The full program of activities include supervised recreation, student recitals, rehearsals, ciinics and concerts. Tuition and activ;ty fees for the clinic are $22.50. Housing, if desired, will be $27 and board, $42.90. For further information concerning registration, contact Dr. Alvin Wardle, Music Clinic Chairman, Utah State University, Logan, 84321. Thorn Duncan, author of "A Sceptre, A Sword, A Scented Rose" disclosed, "I believe a playwright must be able to see events and ideas in terms of the story that may be associated with them, but at the same time the ability to separate each incident and put it into a frame is extremely valuable." Class participants are not required to produce any particular number of works. Most achieve no will successfully more than one. But, according to Professor Golightly, the student who succeeds in telling his story so the audience can understand its significance has succeeded in the class. 8-- Free Films For Children At Library f ct 17haN .,,. 2 JVC- - "A , Wis IT. a .1 AN 1" 30 wm MZ , J,6 see to TIL 4 DRAWER 40.95 tor ROVO "op CITY CENTER BUILDING 96 West Center, Provo 374-243- 1 0 19 S.
