Art is for everyone

Students and faculty from the University’s visual arts and design programs recently hosted the Sam Fox Arts Center’s first “Festival of the Arts,” held to spotlight construction of The Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum and Earl E. and Myrtle E. Walker Hall. The event, which was open to the public, included construction of a freestanding lighthouse, and volunteers painting the plywood fence surrounding the construction. Above (clockwise, from top), Jeff Pike, dean of the School of Art, and Cynthia Weese, dean of the School of Architecture, lend their hands as Chancellor Mark S. Wrighton makes his contribution to the fence.
