Participants are asked to meet, rain or shine, in front of the Bayer Learning Center. A reception will immediately follow in Room 613 of the Union to provide participants the opportunity for further conversation on the artwork and the tour.

Those planning to attend are asked to RSVP no later than 3 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 25, as space is limited and filling quickly.
