SPRINGFIELD - Painting, theater, music, and good food will all be elements of a Spring Evening with the Arts, to be held Saturday, April 17, on campus at the University of Illinois at Springfield.  Sponsored by the U of I Alumni Association at UIS, the evening will present opportunities for the community to enjoy a variety of arts-related activities.

Paintings by Vivian Eveloff, a nationally recognized artist and UIS alumna, will be on display in the Visual Arts Gallery, located on the ground floor of the Health and Sciences Building.  A complimentary wine and cheese reception with Eveloff will be held from 5 to 6:30 p.m. in the gallery.

A candlelight buffet dinner will follow from 6:30 to 7:45 p.m. in the Public Affairs Center Restaurant.  Cost for dinner is $30 per person, or $20 per person for current members of the Alumni Association and their guests.

Following dinner, participants will be able to choose between two events -- the UIS Theater Program’s production of the Noel Coward comedy “Hay Fever” or a performance by the Cuban ensemble Cubanismo.  “Hay Fever” will be presented in the Studio Theatre, in the lower level of the PAC; tickets are $10 per person. Cubanismo will perform in Sangamon Auditorium and tickets should be purchased through the auditorium ticket office (call 206-6160).
