NOTES ON PEOPLE

To participate in group art exhibit

HAINES FALLS, N.Y. - Taras Schumylowych will exhibit two graphics, "Cathedral of St. Sophia and the Ukrainian Catholic University in Rome" (sepia) and "St. Bridget's Catholic Church in Leeds, N.Y." (sepia), at the 56th annual group exhibition sponsored by the Twilight Park Artists. The exhibition, which usually features the works of about 68 artists, will be held on Saturday and Sunday, August 9-10, in the Twilight Park Clubhouse here in Haines Falls, N.Y. The first such exhibit was held in August 1947, and Mr. Schumylowych has been exhibiting at this group show since 1968.

A children's art show also is included in this annual exhibition and will take place in the Clubhouse Tea Room. Three of Mr. Schumylowych's grandchildren, Xenia, Justin and Larissa, will display their new paintings. They are anxious to see them viewed by all those people who year after year come and admire the works of potential future artists who probably one day as adults will submit their artwork to this traditional and beloved summer event held in the scenic Catskill Mountains.

The exhibit opens to the public with a wine reception on Saturday at 5-7 p.m., and continues through Sunday, 1-5 p.m. Artist demonstrations are planned for Sunday at 3-4 p.m.

Mr. Schumylowych is a member of Ukrainian National Association Branch 86.
