Media invited to Dole Institute to interview Stan Herd as he works on commemorative earthwork June 26
LAWRENCE — Members of the media are invited to attend and interview renowned artist Stan Herd next week as he continues his work on a landmark earthwork at the Dole Institute of Politics at the University of Kansas. The piece will commemorate the 20th anniversary of the institute.
Herd and Audrey Coleman, Dole Institute director, will be available at the institute, 2350 Petefish Drive, from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. Monday, June 26. The event will provide an opportunity to hear from the artist about his plans for the project, including the incorporation of artwork from students across Kansas into the final product.
This year marks the Dole Institute’s 20th anniversary and what would have been former U.S. Sen. Bob Dole’s 100th birthday.
