The style and techniques of mid-century artist Ruth Van SIckle Ford will be explored on a free walk through the current exhibit of her work at the Aurora Historical Society on Saturday, April 29, at 2:00pm.

Art conservator Scott Sherwood will speak, discussing what he sees in the 34 oil and watercolor paintings on display at the PIerce Art and History Center, 20 E. Downer, 60505.  Sherwood is a museum assistant for the AHS and has worked on restoring several of the Ford paintings in the show.

Although the program is free, donations are very much appreciated.  Guests are encouraged to register at www.aurorahistory.org or by calling 630-755-5657.
