Wear your bathing suit under your clothing Sat, Nov 4, if you come to the arts planning conference at LSUS. It's being called a retreat and it's my guess that many will go down to the river afterwards to quaff brews and catch a few rays.

Says Carlos Colon, "We are a group of artistic, consenting adults and there's no telling what we might do beyond discussing the following:

1. Increasing Visibility of the Arts in Shreveport/Bossier.
2. Strengthening Perception of the Arts as Integral in All Areas of
Civic Life
3. Strengthening Administrative Operations through Collaborations
4. Strengthening Relationships within the Family of Arts Organizations

He continues "We have seen how easily arts funding can disappear. The artists and arts organizations must learn to perform together for the benefit of all."

Under the leadership of the estimable Paula Hickman, Community Foundation for Spt-Bossier, the meetees in this, in effect, Arts Congress, will record their thoughts and sit across the table from counterparts otherwise perhaps rarely seen. Dr Norm Dolch will aid the conference as recorder.

Among the ringleaders:
Angelique Feaster
Gloria Gipson
Janice Nelson
Carlos Colon
Major Brock
Richard Folmer
Pam Atchison
