For the first time in many years, works in the festival were juried before being accepted. The artists sell directly to the public. Beaux Arts receives no commissions but raises funds through space rental.

“This year we have established a set of strict and innovative guidelines which should benefit the artist as well as the prospective buyer. Other changes should make the weekend an enjoyable experience for everyone.”
To give parents a break, Janice Samson, who teaches the regular Beaux Arts children’s classes at the museum, will conduct classes in the creative use of various materials to make collages. Classes for children 4-7 and 8-12 will be held on the hour from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, and from 1 to 5 p.m., Sunday, at $1.50 per hour per child, inside the museum.
Based on the works made during the two days, four children will be awarded certificates to attend spring Beaux Arts classes at the Lowe.
Throughout the weekend a student chamber trio from the UM School of Music—Mary Towne on flute, Robert Boguslaw, piano, and Mike Montgomery, string base—will play baroque, romantic and impressionist music.
Marcella’s mobile international kitchen will prepare slices of pizza, mozzarella corolla, roast beef and sausage and pepper sandwiches, apple fritters and hot dogs. Frozen yogurt, ice cream and liquid refreshments also will be available.
As usual the UM campus with its grassy expanses, shade producing trees and “left-bank” canal provides a relaxed atmosphere for enjoying the show. There is also plenty of free parking in campus lots adjacent to Ponce de Leon, San Amaro and University Drives.
Under the tent on Saturday night, from 8 p.m. to midnight, there will be a “Bare Bones Ball,” a casual party featuring a barbecue dinner, dancing and blue grass music. Everyone’s invited but reservations at $10 per person are a must by March 10. Call the Lowe at 284-3535.
Proceeds from the festival are used to defray the cost of exhibitions at the museum throughout the year. Exhibitions are always open to the public without charge.
