The third Illinois Town and Country Art Show reflects the increasing interest
of Illinois residents in art and handicraft work.

For the first time the rules specify that only pieces selected at local shows
are eligible for exhibition. Judges at 23 local shows carefully selected only 242
pieces from several thousand that were on display. Approximately 175 different ex-
hibitors from 37 widely scattered Illinois counties are represented in the show.

We are proud to present the work of the amateur artists of Illinois. The re-
sponse to the program is most gratifying. Many of the paintings are for sale at the
prices indicated. Arrangements for purchase should be made with the artist.

Welcome to the show and the events listed below:

Amateur Artists' Luncheon; 12:30 p.m. , Thursday, March 27. One
hundred seventy-five reservations are available at the registration
desk.

Gallery Features:

Thursday, March 27, 10:30 a.m.: Gallery tours conducted by
Glenn Bradshaw, George Foster, and Walter Johnson, Univer-
sity of Illinois Art and Architecture Departments.

Friday, March 28, 2:00 p.m.: Display and demonstration of art
materials by Richard E. Hult, University of Illinois Art Depart-
ment.

Saturday, March 29, 2:00 p.m.: Craft demonstrations by Barbara
Kuhlman, University of Illinois Art Department.

Judges:

Glenn R. Bradshaw, C. V. Donovan, James R. Shipley, Uni-
versity of Illinois Art Department.
