Booksale art contest submissions on display!
October 14, 2009
It wasn’t easy to pick the winning image in the library’s first annual Homecoming Booksale Art Contest–we received nearly 40 pieces of art from several different students. Since so many of them were so good, we’ve decided to put some of the most outstanding pieces on display in the library.
The display is on the main floor of the library, behind the the desk of Jack Weinbender, our Library Assistant. We’ve displayed at least one piece from everyone who submitted.
So stop by, take a look, and gaze in wonder at the artistic accomplishments of your fellow Milliganites. We can’t wait to host this contest again next year–thanks again to everyone who entered!
