Lawrence University Artist Selected for Connecticut Exhibition
 
	
	APPLETON, WIS.- Alice King Case, lecturer in the Lawrence University
art department, has been selected to exhibit in the prestigious 10th annual
"Women in the Visual Arts 1996 Show" at the Erector Square Gallery in New Haven,
Conn.  Her work, "Tommy's Plane to Mexico," will be included in the exhibit,
which opens March 8 and continues through March 29.
	An artist specializing in drawings and collge, Case was one of only 82
artists from more than 2,500 entries across the United States and abroad
selected for the Erector Square Gallery exhibition.  The show, which will
feature a wide variety of mediums from contemporary women artists, was selected
by Ann Langdon, artist/writer and gallery manager at The Kennedy Center for the
Performing Arts.  Landgon is the founder of Women in the Arts exhibition.
	"Given the competitiveness and the sheer number of artists involved, and
the fact the pieces were selected by Ann Langdon, it's certainly a thrill and an
honor to have a piece of my work included in this show," said Case. "I create
art for the sheer joy of it and no longer get bothered one way or the other if
my work is or isn't selected for an exhibition, but of course it's always
gratifying and reaffirming when someone of Ms. Langdon's stature singles you out
for recognition."      
	Last October, Case won the Jurors' Award of Merit in the annual
"Wisconsin Art Educators Exhibition" at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and
Design for the second consecutive year.  In the last 10 years, Case has
exhibited her work in nearly 50 shows around the country.  She joined the
Lawrence faculty in 1980 after spending more than 20 years as an art instructor
in suburban Chicago school systems.
