Getting ready for opening Tuesday

This 1 to 1' size scale model (maquette) of Sabra Tull Meyer's full-sized Lewis and Clark Bicentennial Monument, dedicated in Jefferson City last June, is among works of art which will be on display beginning next Tuesday in the Central Methodist Ashby-Hodge Gallery of American Art. The new exhibit is titled, 'Women in Art: Seventy Works from the Permanent Collection.' All of the paintings and other works are done by Missouri women artists (see full article in last Wednesday's Fayette Advertiser). Here, Meyer and Ashby-Hodge Gallery Curator Joe Geist admire the Lewis & Clark maquette. The gallery purchased the piece which is one of 30 limited edition maquettes of the original work. Represented in the monument are Meriwether Lewis, William Clark; French Guide and Hunter George Drouillard; Clark's slave, York; and Lewis' dog, Seaman. Meyer will be present during an artists' reception in the gallery on Sunday, Aug. 31, from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Located on the ground floor of the CMU library, the gallery is open afternoons from 1:30 to 4:30 Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. There is no charge.
