This exhibi- tion is a visual expression of Mennonite folk art, consisting of some 450 items, the ma- jority of which have been selected from households from the Waterloo region by Guest Curator Nancy -Lou Patterson. Viewers are sure.to be fascinated by the col- lection of quilts, textiles, paintings, fraktur, furniture and objects in clay, metal and wood. Demonstrations of many of these traditional crafts will be on view the day of the opening, Associated with the exhibition is the work by two young professional artists from " the Mennonite Community; Susan Shantz and David Hunsberger. Perhaps the most unusual feature of the exhibition will be the creation of a "four- square garden" in the Centre Gallery.
