Show by Peabody artists among
Yale-related events during festival

Images of the natural world, as captured by six New Haven area artists, will be on display at the Peabody Museum of Natural History throughout the International Festival of Arts & Ideas, June 18-July 3.

The display of 24 paintings and sculptures was originally created for Open Studios 1999, a citywide celebration of local talent held in May. All of the artists work at the Peabody Museum; this is the second year they've mounted a joint show during Open Studios.

The featured artists are: Michael Anderson, museum preparator; Torsten Burns, security; Maishe Dickman, exhibit construction; Stuart Lane, project assistant; John Maisano, graphics and exhibition designer; and Ava Orphanoudakis, public education.

The Peabody Museum of Natural History, located at 170 Whitney Ave. For information on hours and admission, call 432-5050.
