added to the attractions of Sussex

Prime mover in the effort is Mr..
! Clarence Flat, of Selbyville, who
has conducted painting classes in
Salisbury, Nd, and Rehoboth
Beach, Selbyville and Millsboro,
Del, in the past several years, and
| is himself one of the states better
known portraitists. Various other
artists and businessmen are co
operating to get the project sue
cessfully launched. In order to pro-
vide a headquarters for the new
Group, Mr.. Raymond S. Goslee, the
Ford dealer in Millsboro, has offer
ed the use OF a barn on his proper
ty, which faces the Indian River.
The barn is also adjacent to the
Town Park so that the new studio
is assured a pleasant context.
When improvements are completed
it is planned not only to offer art
instruction and exhibitions to the
public, but also to provide, when
possible, other cultural attractions
such as Chamber music recitals,
literary readings and lectures.
For the present the classes in
painting will be held in the Mills
boro Fire Hall on Friday evenings
at seven-thirty, until the new home
for the Group is ready for occu-
pancy. In the past these classes
have attracted art-lovers of all
ages and have demonstrated that
even those who feel that they
('have no talent in that line can
get a great deal of enjoyment from
familiarity with the techniques and
methods of "do-it-yourself paint
ing. Those interested III drawing
or painting should come to the
Fire Hall, Friday evening, or
phone Mrs. e. e. Carey, Jr., at
