Since the wake of the stillborn child Wednesday, The Art of Drawing - A Panel and Discussion. In order to April 9 call attention to this ancient and fundamental art, the Admission free exhibitors at our current drawing show will elaborate their own methods or philosophies and attend to questions from the floor. Since they represent an extremely broad range of styles, we expect they will generate a lively exchange of ideas. Those who feel passionately about fine drawings (artist, purveyor of art materials, restorer, student or layman) we urge you to join this orderly assembly. Free (guns checked at the door). Refreshments.

Tern Fox, Dancer. Musicians Jeff Cain, Lenny Sc idman and Thurs. & Fri., in ■ n.Aiuuii • April 10 & 11 Charles Cohen provide foil to Terry*s movement. They have 8:30 p. m. been together for a number of years, working out the kinks Thursday Si in their style, performing occassionally, working assidu­ Friday $2 ously, teaching and acting as an important influence on the artistic community. Charles (synthesizer), Jeff (guitar), Lenny (tables), provide a network of improvised sound which defines or anticipates a movement. One rarely sees a dance company with live music these days (even the major compa­ nies use tapes) so that the happy fusion of music and dance is this ensembles singular contribution to contemporary art. The program will unfold with lapses and pauses developing as the energy rises and falls (no message or theme intrudes) One merely need attend to the synchronous and spontaneous unfolding of forms.

Saturday, Poets Pat Gallner & Steve McConnell. Pat Gallner has a April 12 varied background in social service, counselling, a tenant* s 8:30 p. m. union and food co-op organizer. Though she began her col­ Adm. is Si lege career as an art student, she eventually graduated Temple in English literature. There she met Howard Maroni, a folklorist, who has been a continuing influence, intro­ ducing her to what has become the major source of her poetic images. Pat has read at the Philadelphia Women's Center, WXPN, WUHY, Meridian Bookstores and many other places. She is currently researching and writing a book dealing with the images of women in folk song.

v Steve McConnell, who is an educator professionally, participated in the Alexandra Grilikhes Workshop. His images are the function of word meanings, rather than word sonority, giving the work a compactness. The use of per­ sonae for different lines balances the didactic and philo- sophical elements. Besides being published in New Poets Studies, Tracks and Hydrant, he has read locally, often.

Sunday, Roger Low & Friends.

Bogus god in the broadcast booth Sunday, Annual Photography Show, photographers are Alan Wolsky, April 20 Marty Fumo and Penny Bryant. This year*s photography comes 2 to 6 p. in. at a time when interest in the art is quickening, Photopia, a South St. gallery exclusively for still photography, ans­ wers a long standing need for the many potential exhibitors in the area. Concurrent exhibits here and at Photopia will provide ample forage for artistic ruminations along South St. This exhibit is the fourth annual such put together by Bern Stehle, our photographic staff advisor. It illus­ trates how well the instrument can be adapted to such per­ sonal ways of seeing (our three exhibitors employ the came­ ra for very different ends). Marty Fumo, a Philadelphian, is now a student of George Krauss, the local master. He has shown work at the Philadelphia Library, Bucks County Community College and in Newsweek magazine. Penny Bryant comes to Philadelphia from Miami. After graduating from Moore, she spent a year at sea working on a ship and seeing the world through her camera. Penny’s suite of works shows the comical and ominous aspects of clothes on a clothes line. Alan Wolsky is a physics teacher at Temple, whose avocation grew out of a practice of shooting yearly camping trips. His only formal study under Arthur Freed (1970-71), opened, him to more than journalistic considerations of the photo. His own work displays a unpredictable and charming array of subjects. Peception for the artists, with spi­ rits, will fill the hours between two and six p. m., with the photos on view until May 11, 1975.
