medieval festival is growing up today
in a patch of Connecticut wilderness.
The sculptor has dropped his chisel
to take up the ak. The writer has
forsaken her pen for the sickle And
out of their labors has grown a four

Artists did things like this in the
18th century in Europe, gathering at
chosen spot to jointly exhibit their
work for few days. They will do 1t
again, in August. at nearby Silver
mine They will do it with four days
of music. painting and sculpture.
For those four days of enjoyment.
there must be weeks Of work-work
done by the artists themselves. with
their own bare hands.

leaves her desk to dig up and eplant
bushes.

This festival of the Artists Guild

the foremost artists of the East-will
not be all music. 1t will feature
exhibits of paintings. etchings and
sculpture. 1t will publish a news

AS final event the ~Beethoven
Ninth Symphony" will be sung by a
choir of $50 voices. the pick of some
1900 choirs from all over Connecticut
This festival will not make any
money for any one, but it will bring
fine music outdoors and will provide
happy place to spend four days for
those whose political inclinations or
pocketbooks are keeping them from
European music festivals this summer
This festival is different from the
European ones. 1t is inspired and ex-
ecuted by the artists themselves, with
no professional backing, simply for
the love of good music.
