On that day, 63 artists set up easels across Mt. Oread and, with paintbrush in hand, captured the renowned beauty of the KU campus. The result is an amazing body of work consisting of 100 paintings, rendered in a various styles and media, that will be exhibited at SouthWind Gallery November 7 to December 31 2008.
