Here's a chance to make world-class art with one of the Contemporary Art Center's featured artists from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. on July 31. LIZA LOU, who suffers from carpal tunnel syndrome (see "Contemporary Obsessions," above), needs help in stringing those beads-with-a-message for her next bejeweled project. Just 20 people will be enlisted to help with the covering of a 600-foot chapel now in the process of being assembled, although others may come just to cheer the volunteers on. First come, first served. Members free, non-members $3.50. Call Julia at 345-8400 before July 15 .

VISIONS V, open to almost any art medium, offers an Aug. 20 deadline for slide entries to the Covington Cathedral national juried show. There's a lot of leeway in the theme, described as "inspired by the spiritual, the sacred, and the holy. Artwork from diverse traditions and the world's great religions is welcome." Opens Sept. 24 and closes Oct. 15. Call ELLEN ZAHOREC at 431-2060 or ezahorec@aol.com

CAROLYN MAZLOOMI and DENNIS HARRINGTON are the scheduled jurors for the Feed the Body, Feed the Soul exhibit planned at the Fitton Center for Creative Arts in October. The title refers to the benefits from the $10 per entry fee, 30 percent of any sales and any works the artists may wish to donate which go to Shared-Harvest Foodbanks and the Fitton Center. Actual works must be delivered for jurying Oct. 9. Show opens Oct. 24 and closes Nov. 28. 513-863-8873 or www.walltowall.com/fitton.

Let's hear it for ANITA ELLIS, newly appointed acting director of the Cincinnati Art Museum during the search for a permanent replacement for former director, BARBARA GIBBS. Ellis is director of curatorial affairs and curator of decorative arts. With 25 years of CAM experience behind her, she was an easy choice.

Keep that applause going for LOIS AND RICHARD ROSENTHAL whose donation of $5 million will help make the new home of the Contemporary Arts Center a reality. The center's title will carry the Rosenthal name. In fact, the Rosenthals deserve non-stop applause for the incredible support they continually provide for all of the arts in Cincinnati.
