(Courtesy photo) The tenth anniversary edition brings several changes and refinements for the Texas State Arts and Crafts Fair to be held May 23-24 and 30-31 in Kerrville. According to fair executive director, Audie Hamilton, the most outstanding change is two weekends of operations. The second weekend provides an additional opportunity for those who could not attend on Memorial Day weekend. Visitors will find cold beer is available on the fairgrounds for the first time. The 1981 event will introduce Windberg painting to be unveiled Nationally acclaimed artist Dalhart Windberg will be in San Antonio Friday and Saturday, May 29 and 30 for an autograph reception at the J.R.

Mooney Galleries of Fine Art. Windberg, a Texas artist whose technique follows the tradition of the European masters, will be at the J.R. Mooney Gallery in North Star Mall from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m., and on Saturday he will be at the 8302 Broadway gallery from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m.

During his San Antonio appearance, the third painting in his National Parks series will be unveiled: "Quiet Grandeur," a majestic view of Mt. Rainier National Park in Washington State. Other parks previously painted are Yellowstone National Park and the Shenandoah Val- ley. The special edition signed reproductions of the first paintings are practically sold out. Open edition reproductions are still available in limited quantities.

As a young man, Dalhart Windberg toured the museums of Europe, studying the development of European art thf ough the centuries. The native Texan was most impressed by the work of Renaissance masters. Thus began the evolution of Windberg's own distinctive art contemporary America rendered in traditional European style. The smooth brush technique made popular by Windberg in this country is his own variation of the masters' styles. Unlike familiar oil paintings, his have no trace of brush strokes.

His smooth canvasses, fragile in appearance, each shade and color blending indiscernibly into others, have become his distinctive style. Also skilled with the palette knife, he these paintings with vibrant color and texture. Windberg often borrows elements from different countryside scenes and skillfully reconstructs them on canvas in a new, refreshing setting. With artful use of light and shadow, his landscapes capture an isolated peaceful moment. Though each canvas is distinctively Windberg, none can be said to typify the breadth of his skill which has earned him the 1979-1980 Texas Artist of the Year Award.

"Artists As Ambassadors," the newest program of the Texas Arts and Crafts Educational Foundation. In the educational cultural exchange, three Israeli craftspeople from the semi-official Maskit organization will do demonstrations on the fairgrounds. Demonstrations will include rug knotting on a loom, glass blowing and jewelry making. A limited number of Israeli crafts will be for sale. A fine arts pavillion, in a weather protected area, will be another improvement for the official state arts event.

Primarily devoted to artists producing paintings and sculpture, the pavillion will offer a firm base for sculpture and a more controlled setting for paintings than is possible outdoors. Second weekend headliners are Los Parientes, a mariachi band well known in San Antonio. Favorite bands playing country-western and bluegrass music will return, as will special programs including a children's vaudeville troupe, mimes, a magician, storyteller and clowns.
