ILLUSTRATION: PHOTO:  Dean Carter, the first chairman of what is now the 
          Department of Art and Art History at Virginia Tech, has spent his 
          entire life teaching and creating works of art. The sculptor will 
          talk about his career Sunday at 3 p.m. in the Blacksburg Recreation 
          Center. The free talk is sponsored by the Blacksburg Regional Art 
          Association. Now professor emeritus, Carter exhibits and travels 
          around the world. He recently attended the dedication of Ikenoue 
          Christ Church in Japan. Sixteen of his sculptures, commissioned by 
          Carter's former student Akira Inadomi, are in the church. Carter's 
          work also graces churches, hospitals and public buildings in 
          Blacksburg, Roanoke and the Virginia Tech campus.
