Dear Colleagues,
On Friday, November 8, a new exhibition of art was installed across from US Bank in the MU Student Center. The exhibit features two paintings by David Kontra, a Missouri artist who is legally blind. The paintings are now part of a growing collection of artwork that is being acquired by Missouri Student Unions. In the case of these two paintings, the Office of Disability Services partnered with the Unions to assist with their selection and purchase.
You can learn more about the artist and the exhibit by going to Sarah Horne’s Union Arts Blog: http://unionsart.blogspot.com/2013/11/david-kontra-blind-missouri-artist-by.html.
The exhibit will be on display for 90 days. When you have an opportunity, I hope you will take a few minutes to go see them – they are beautiful!
Sincerely,
Barbara Hammer
Director
MU Office of Disability Services
