| This exhibit of artwork in many media is the culmination of the Project Art for Nature's fourth three-year creative cycle. The 21 regional artists in the group are intent on calling attention to the preservation and restoration of natural areas. Through their artwork they voice both their awe and concern for communities of native plants and animals. at least 20% of the sale price of artwork sold in the show ~ which comes to us directly from the Bell Museum of Natural History on the U of M campus ~ will be donated to the Kinnickinnic River Land Trust. |

| Become a part of the historical record for the celebration of UWRF's North Hall 100th Anniversary. Prof. Kurt Leichtle will be interviewing former mayor and RFHS teacher Don Richards to start things off (Don went to elementary school at the "lab school" there). After that anyone can chime in with memories of their time there as campus school or college students, or of attending special events. There will be a display of photos and artifacts from the 100-year history of this venerable old building too. Kurt will also give a few tips on creating a successful oral history, a great tool for recording family or organization history. There is no admission charge and refreshments will be served. |
