At Kent's retirement party the announcement was made that the Gallery would be named after Kent Farndale. A handsom wood carving by local sculptor Bill Lishman, now hangs on the wall outside the Gallery. But there was another reason for Kent to be especially happy that day. With hundreds of friends in attendance, it was a momentous occasion when the unveiling of the Kent Farndale Art Bursary, took place. It was established "to help encourage the artisti¢ community." Cathryn Hall, a library board member and one of the CHECK IT OUT NOW! administrators of the bursary points out that "the whole community benefits when local artists decide to take time out for further study in areas that attract them. Or it could be someone new to art who would like to pursue a course in this area, yet hasn't had the opportunity to do so for whatever reason." Administrating the public supported bursary are Jane Litt, Barbara Carnegie and Cathryn Hall. All three feel the bursary "is an expression of appreciation from the community to the painters, potters, jewellers, sculptors and fibre artists who have enriched our lives in the past decade." If there are any local artists | who are toying with the idea of 'closing up shop' for a while and signing up for a workshop, a summer course, perhaps a college course, they are encouraged to apply for a Kent Farndale Art Bursary. The deadline for applying is March 15, 1993. Applications are available at the library, 231 Water St., or if further information is needed you can contact the adminis- trators; Barbara Carnegie 985- 3661, Cathryn Hall 986-7306 or Jane Litt 985-2293.
