The Shafer Art Gallery will host an opening reception for its latest exhibit “Eufloria” featuring flower paintings from Michael Jilg and flower photos by Leon Staab from 6-8 p.m. Friday, June 24 in the Shafer Art Gallery. The exhibit runs through August 12.

The money was raised by having “Going Casual for Camp Hope” days where faculty and staff could wear jeans for $5.  The campaign ran from October through April. Various faculty and staff departments coordinated and participated in the event and they plan to hold the event again next year.
