SFPA and Fort Wayne
Museum of Art
Begin Cooperative
Lecture/ Workshop Series
Using funds from the
Theodore Thieme Incentive
Endowment, the School of
Fine and Performing Arts
has entered into a
cooperative arrangement
with the Fort Wayne
Museum of Art to establish a
visiting artist lecture/
workshop series at IPFW.
During the 1993-94 academic
year, topics of the series will
be limited to the visual arts.
It is hoped that, in future
years, funding will be
augmented by additional
sources, and the scope of the
series will be extended to
theatre and music.
The planning committee
comprises Samantha Bir~
curator of education at the
FWMA and associate faculty
in fine arts at IPFW; Julie
Donnell, FWMA public
information coordinator;
Nancy E. McCroskey,
assistant professor of fine
arts; and John M. Morris,
assistant to the dean of SFPA.
During the fall semester,
lecturers and workshop
presenters have been experts
invited to the city by the
museum. The school has
taken advantage of their
presence in Fort Wayne by
scheduling workshops in the
Fine Arts Building. Two
sculptors who work in metal,
whose visits were arranged to
complement the "Sculptural
Concerns" exhibition at
FWMA, made presentations
for Leslie Motz' s advanced
metalcrafts students at IPFW.
Eleanor Moty, professor of art
at the University of Wisconsin,
conducted a workshop on
Sept. 15; Harriete Berman,
whose series" A Pedestal for a
Woman to Stand On" was
featured in the exhibit,
demonstrated hinge-making
techniques on Oct. 15.

Errata
In the September issue of
the ArtScene, the profile of
Maestro Edvard Tchivzhel
consistently contained a
misspelling of the
conductor's last name-the
second "h" was omitted.
This was not the fault of the
article's author, Adrienne
Provenzano, who penned it
correctly. Rather, the onus for
this error falls on your
