Featured prominently in this exhibition is an exquisite etching titled "Snow" by esteemed faculty member Frank Stack. Known for his mastery of the medium, Stack captures a snowy landscape's delicate beauty and quiet serenity, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in its tranquil atmosphere.

This exhibition also serves as a testament to the ongoing creativity within the MU community, as the MU Student Unions continue to call for the submission of artwork for monthly updates. It is through these opportunities for artistic expression that we continue to foster a culture of creativity and innovation on campus.


As the "Public Art at Mizzou" exhibition continues to captivate audiences with its diverse array of artistic voices, the MU Student Unions enthusiastically extend an invitation for student artists to contribute to the monthly update exhibition. This ongoing opportunity serves as a platform for emerging talents to showcase their creativity and share their unique perspectives with the community.
