CALL IT RECYCLABLE ART

James Harold Jennings' work will become even more familiar to Roanoke residents come the first of the year. The North Carolina folk artist's ``Art World,'' an enamel on scrap lumber assemblage, is the cover illustration of the Roanoke City Recycling 1995 Curbside Collection Calendar. Folk art is an appropriate theme for the calendar because artists typically employ reused materials, such as scrap wood and other found objects, says city recycling coordinator Laura Wasko.

Other folk artists whose works will be represented in the calendar are Ronald and Jessie Cooper, Linvel Barker, Junior Lewis, Minnie and Garland Adkins and Tim Lewis of Kentucky; Richard Burnside of South Carolina; Jimmy Lee Sudduth and Mose Tolliver of Alabama; Howard Finster, Grace Nell Hewell and Lanier Meadors of Georgia; and Georgia Blizzard of Virginia.

The works were selected and organized for the calendar by Virginia Western Community College art professor Brian Sieveking, and photographed by Sarah Hazlegrove.

The calendar will be distributed to curbside-recycling residents at the end of December, and extras may be purchased for $5. Call 981-1455.
