Subject: Art in The Quad
Submitter: Kendra R Kahlow, Student

Message: The Art Club will be hosting an Art in the QUAD event this coming Wednesday April 26th from 2 p.m. until 6 p.m., or when supplies are gone. This event is open to all students, faculty, and staff.

Come on out and paint, stomp in the clay, and build a hodge-podge sculpture.

We will be painting on two 6 yd. by 53" canvases.
One theme will be: "What does Augsburg Mean to me?"
The other will be a calibration to make a larger piece.

We will be bringing back the clay stomp.

The hodge-podge sculpture will depend on all of you. Here we are having students bring odds and ends that will need to be approved by the Art Club, then the material will be put together to make a hodge-podge sculpture. Adhesives will also be something you will need to bring, as the sculpture will need to be held together.

If for any reason the weather is bad: raining or it appears it will rain the event will be moved into Old Main room 4.
