CAL Among Symposium Sponors/Patrons

The Sixth Annual MU Life Sciences and Society Symposium takes place March 2010. CAL takes its place among the symposium's sponors and patrons.

From Art to Biology and Back Again will examine provocative new work arising from intersections between the life sciences and art - the biological contexts of our response to art and aesthetic contexts of our response to scientific visualizations, as well as twenty-first century art that has found inspiration at their convergence. In the process, the talks will inquire into the relationship between artistic and scientific invention. The symposium is free and open to the public. more >>

Saturday, September 19, 2009 9:00am - 4:30pm

The Columbia Art League and the Daniel Boone Regional Library are partnering for a one-day painting and drawing competition as part of One Read.

To participate, bring paper or canvases to the Columbia Public Library between 9 a.m.-noon, where library staff will stamp them to register you for the contest. Then, paint or sketch anywhere outdoors, and turn in your best piece to the library by 4:30pm.

From 11:00am to 1:00pm, at three locations around the city, artists will be on hand to offer assistance:

Chris Frederick will give watercolor tips at Stephens Park,
Jane Mudd will help with oils and acrylics at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial and
