Theatre Design & Technology - Fall 1985 - 55

FOURTH BIENNIAL SCENOGRAPHY EXPOSITION
THE OBJECTIVES OF THE EXPOSITION are to identify, recognize, and display works of
practicing designers of today and of America's past. The Scenography Exposition is held
every two years, after which time the exhibits are available for touring for up to four
years. The success of the first three Expositions has led us to anticipate a 1986
Exposition of sufficient size and quality to become a true representation of the listate
of the art" of Performance Design in America. The Fourth Biennial Exposition will
premiere at the Hyatt Regency Hotel during the USITT National Conference, March 19-22,
19E6, in Oakland, California. The Exposition is divided into three parts. The HERITAGE
EXPOSITION SECTION will highlight scenography from the past. The DESIGN SHOWCASE SECTION
will feature winners of other contests and juried exhibits sponsored by other organizations since March, 1981. The JURI ED EXPOSITION SECTION will feature adjudicated scenery,
costume, and lighting designs of works produced since March; 1981. Its entries will be
