The University Museum is having the first in a series of family events this Sunday called the Campus Art Carnival.

From 2:00-4:00 p.m. Sunday, University Museums is celebrating “Art on Campus” by having a carnival on central campus, south of Parks Library.

There are three programs of University Museums: the Brunnier Art Museum; the Farm House Museum; and the Art on Campus, which is the “museum without walls.”

Many things are scheduled for the big day, including a treasure hunt, in which people are stationed at pieces of art around the campus and tell seekers about the questions they have on the worksheet given to them at the start of the search and answer any questions they might have.

The prize for having the questions answered is a kite.

Also scheduled is Mudhen the Clown, who will be doing face painting, and people are encouraged to bring kites to fly between Beardshear Hall and Parks Library.

“We try to have four or five family events a year,” said Stacy Brothers, public relations coordinator for the University Museums. “This is the first in that series.”

Most of the pieces highlighted are in or around the Parks Library. Some of the pieces include the Grant Wood Murals, a Christian Petersen sculpture, the “Left Sided Angel” by Stephen DeStaebler, “Karom” by Bruce White, and a sculpture of Jack Trice by Chris Bennett.

“The point of this is to slow down, look at the art and examine it more closely,” said Renee Senter, education coordinator for University Museums.

“We want the families to experience free and fun entertainment, and experience art together.”

Another event planned is “pin the wing” on a cardboard “Left Sided Angel,” and people may have their picture taken with a G-Nome, just like the ones on top of the Molecular Biology Building.

There will also be free refreshments, prizes and admission. If the weather should not agree with outdoor activities, there is no rain site or date scheduled.
