<DIV align=justify><FONT size=2>Artist Timothy Botts is our featured artist this
weekend at TrueNorth. To learn more about Timothy, please visit his
web site at <A
href="http://www.timbotts.com/">http://www.timbotts.com/</A>. He was our
guest in 2002 where he did performance art as the orchestra and chorale
performed Handel's <STRONG><EM>The Messiah</EM></STRONG>; his performance art
has been hanging in our TrueNorth Gallery for the past few years. This
year he will be painting to <STRONG><EM>The Creation</EM></STRONG> by Joseph
Haydn at our Saturday evening performance at French Creek. I encourage as
many of you to attend as possible. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=justify><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV align=justify><FONT size=2>In addition I have asked him to present a
workshop on Saturday afternoon from 3:00 - 4:30 p.m. he will be
presenting: <FONT color=#000080> <STRONG><U>Word Pictures in Expressive
Calligraphy</U></STRONG></FONT><FONT color=#000000><STRONG><U> </U></STRONG>- A
slide show will illustrate ways to take words and express their meaning visually
through various principles of graphic design. Then a wall demonstration will
take you through a text as an example of this process. Finally, you will have a
chance to make your own word picture using your own printscript and handwriting
with various markers, crayons and color pencils. This process can be a powerful
means of meditating on words that are important to you.</FONT></FONT></DIV><FONT
