MILES CARPENTER SUBJECT OF LECTURE

The late Miles Carpenter, one of Virginia's best-known folk artists, will be the subject of a lecture Thursday at the Roanoke Museum of Fine Arts.

Speaking will be Linda Hartigan, associate curator for painting and sculpture at the National Museum of American Art in Washington.

She will speak at 7 p.m. in the museum's lecture hall on the second floor of Center on Church. Admission will be $3 for museum members and $4 for non-members.

Hartigan's topic will be "Miles Carpenter: Carving for Business and Pleasure."

An exhibition of Carpenter's carving is in the museum's second-floor gallery. Hartigan wrote the text for the show's catalogue.

Her lecture is part of a series that is being presented by the museum in conjunction with the Carpenter show and other folk art exhibits at the museum this summer.
