Local Artists Asked
To Participate In
Rendezvous Art Show
The Anchorage Fur Rendezvous
Committee for 1952 has asked the
Business and Professional Wo
men’s Club of Anchorage to spon
sor the Art Show for this year’s
Fur Rendezvous, and the club
has accepted the responsibility.
The Fur Rendezvous of 1950
was the first time such an exhib
it was made, and it proved to be
so satisfactory from the public’s
standpoint as well as that of the
participating exhibitors that the
sponsors are anxious to see it
grow and develop as the Rendez
vous grows each year.
The Rendezvous committee and
the BPW Club are asking the co
operation of all people in Alaska
who are interested in the cultural
growth of the Territory in mak
ing the art exhibit an outstanding
annual event. Schools are encour
aged to conduct contests within
the school and enter the better
work in the art exhibit. For local
artists who wish to enter, the
Frontiersman has a supply of en
try blanks together with rules and
regulations governing the exhib
it.
