A Friday, FEBRUARY 23, 1990 THE DAILY OKLAHOMAN Annual Native American Fair to Open Richard and Sally Wenner. "People can see the different tribes represented through the different artworks," Lamebull said. "Many of the artists were probably taught by their grandfathers or grandmothers, so you could call it a history lesson." For information: 427-5228. Maytubbie, Anna B. Mitchell, Doc Tate Nevaquaya and Fernando Pa-diila, Jr.

And Juanita Pahdopony, Austin Realrider, Philip Renowden, Skip Rowell, Tim Saupitty, Connie Sea-bourn, Janet Smith, Kevin Smith, Jon Tiger, Roberta Wallace and By Shannon VanMeter Staff Writer AMERICAN Indian artists will bring their history and talents together for the Fourth Annual Native American Fair. The fair will introduce several aspects of Indian culture from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday at the Oklahoma National Guard Armory, 200 NE 23. Each year the fair is sponsored by the Friends of the Center of the American Indian at Kirkpa-tiick Center. Half of the fair is designated for children's events, which include demonstrations of Indian crafts and games by the Boy Scouts of America and the Camp Fire Girls and Boys.

The Red Earth Dancers, a group which travels to Oklahoma schools throughout the year, will perform tribal dances, while storytellers will present Indian history and legends. "This is a like a small preview of what you can see at the Red Earth Festival later this year," said DeeAnn Lamebull, adminstrative assistant of the Center of the American Indian. "Yet while Red Earth is set up as a powwow, we have more things for children." The other half of the fair belongs to 33 Indian artists, who sell and demonstrate their works. Bead-work, dolls, paintings, baskets, miniatures, pottery and sculpture will be on display. "I think it will be bigger this year, the list of artists is growing each year," Lamebull said.

"Each year the artists have exceeded their sales from the previous year." The 1990 Native American Fair artists are: Deborah Ahtone, Black-bear Bosin, Benjamin Buffalo, Charles Chapman, Bruce Caesar, Mel Cornshucker, Mike Daniel, Marian Dotson, Robert and Cecelia Floyd, Shar Frazier, Shirley and Joe Gewin.

STEREO DOLBY THX THE Pro Arte Quartet, the world's oldest string quartet in terms of continuous existence, will perform in concert at 4 D.m. Sunday at Christ the King Church, 8005 Dorset Drive.

The concert is sponsored by the Oklahoma City Chamber Music Series. An ensemble in residence at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, the Pro Arte Quartet is comprised of violinists Norman Paulu and Jae Kim, violist Richard Blum and cellist Parry Karp. Paulu was for many years the concertmaster of the Oklahoma City Symphony Orchestra and founder of the Lyric Quartet. Founded in 1912 in Brussels, the Pro Arte has many notable firsts to its credit, including the distinction of being the first string quartet to work extensively in the medium of phonograph recording. Today, the chamber ensemble continues to record, forging new paths with both familiar and new works for string quartet.

The Pro Arte's concert at Christ the King will feature Haydn's "Quartet in flat Major, Op. 33, No. 2," the "Quartet No. 13" by Dmitri Shostakovich and Schubert's "Quartet No. 15 in Major, Op.

ZANUCK FINI ZANUCK Several Oklahoma Artists Featured at Utah Gallery nW BRUCE BERESFORD nnim S38 BOSSBOAOS By Shannon VanMeter StaffWriter CHARLES Eckhardt and his friend Tom Wilson hope to create a new age of antique dealers. Eckhardt will open his '50s-style gallery and antique shop, "20th Century Artifacts," will a public reception from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at 419 NW 23. The gallery will be open six days a week.

After three years as a car salesman and with previous experience as a landscape company owner, Eckhardt decided to make his love for art a fulltime job. Just three months ago, he and partner Wilson began renovations on a gutted-out building to display works from his personal collection and others he bought specifically for the gallery. "If you get a vision, the only way you can get it done is to do it yourself," he said. "I like working for myself." Having studied art for eight years, Eckhardt both appreciates and creates abstract geometric and impressionistic pieces. "I've been wanting to open a '50s gallery for a long time," he said.

The gallery section highlights abstract, impressionistic and original folk art. The first display includes works by impressionist Paul England, but Eckhardt said he hopes the Oklahoma art he displays will rotate each month due to high sales. "It looks like a modern-day gallery with a '50s flair to it," he said. "We chose the title '20th Century Artifacts' to leave us open." The artifact aspect of the shop comes from Eckhardt's other love, '50s-style furniture. The galleries collection spotlights designer furniture by Marcel Breur, Thonet and Charles Eames.

"We just wanted to do something different," Eckhardt said. "We don't want to look like other antique stores, and I don't think we do." 1-240 I-3S G32-SS62 Art Notebook SAUt DAY ADVANCE TICKtT SALES NOW SHOWING 4 THEATERS 12:30 2:45 5:30 7:45 9:45 1 LEAVE- IPG-1 Mi MMffll ElTTOMffl Miller, Shelly Moody, Galen Nichols, Bob Palmer, Franklin Simons, Gael Sloop, Cle-tus Smith, Robert Smith, Steven Walker, William Wallo and James Watson.
