ALEXANDRIA,
Va.
(November 5, 2001) - The Rachel M. Schlesinger Concert Hall and Arts Center, located
on the Alexandria Campus of Northern Virginia Community College, is looking for

The gallery currently holds Mrs. Fisher's work, and will through the end of the
year. All artists and organizations throughout the Northern Virginia area are
eligible.
To apply, artists must submit the following:
-
A completed application form with each entry.
- A
maximum of 12 slides that represent the artist's work.
-
The artist's resume.
-
A brief description of the work to be considered for exhibition attached to application

The Schlesinger Center must receive all proposals by 5:00 p.m. on December

exhibits will be based on proposals and studio visits. Finalists will be notified

2002.
The Center, with its breathtaking 1,000-seat Mary Collier Baker
Theater, beautiful glass-enclosed Wachovia Forum, intimate Margaret W. and Joseph
L. Fisher Art Gallery and Internet-ready seminar rooms, is already being touted
as the premier performing arts venue on this side of the Potomac.
The Schlesinger Center is named for the late wife of Dr. James R. Schlesinger,
former U.S. Secretary of Defense and Secretary of Energy. Mrs. Schlesinger was
a violinist and board member of the Arlington Symphony until her death in 1995.
Dr. Schlesinger donated $1 Million to name the Center in his wife's memory. Dozens
of local corporations, foundations and individual donors also generously contributed
to the Center.
