TAMARA VONINSKI/The Virginian-Pilot

A beachgoer strides past an installation called ``Beach Balls,''

created of chain link fencing by Baltimore artist John Ruppert. He

and two other artists were on the sand at Virginia Beach on

Wednesday putting finishing touches on an exhibit that will be part

of the 1997 Boardwalk Art Show & Festival. (See story and schedule
