St. Louis Art Museum
$10 per person
The Lawrence University Alumni Association of St. Louis warmly invites all alumni, parents, and friends to a special Vincent van Gogh exhibition at the St. Louis Art Museum.
Featuring nearly 70 paintings and works on paper, the exhibition showcases Vincent van Gogh's interactions with his Paris avant-garde contemporaries. Featured artists include: Paul Gauguin, Georges Seurat, and Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, as well as several others less known by the public today. Some of the works in this exhibition have rarely or never before been seen in the United States and are being juxtaposed with some of the most famous paintings of the late 19th century.
The exhibition is organized around four themes that reflect these artists' interests and ambitions: the urban landscape of Paris; entertainment and nightlife; portriature; and landscape. The first two of these topics concentrate on the experience of the city, while portriature and landscape are pervasive themes throughout the artists' careers and become especially apparent when the artists leave the city.
This special exhibition ends on May 13, so this may be your last opportunity to view these magnificent works that ultimately influenced modern art in Europe.

Noon - 3:00 p.m.
Meet at the Falcon Picnic Area
$12/person admission includes box lunch with beverage, admission to the Interpretive Center, and a tour of the historic site.
The Lawrence University Alumni Association of St. Louis invites all alumni, parents, and friends to a picnic and tour of Cahokia Mounds, near Collinsville, Illinois. Join us and learn about the early history of the peoples of the Mississippian culture, living at the confluence of two of the world's greatest rivers, the Mississippi and the Missouri.
We will meet for picnic box lunch (turkey breast or grilled veggie sandwich, salad, dessert, and beverage) at Falcon Center across from Woodhenge. Then we'll head to the Interpretive Center's Orientation Theater for a brief overview presentation and an indoor site model tour. Finally, we will climb Monk's Mound, the largest prehistoric earthen construction in the New World. Please refer to the map in the enclosed brochure for the best road from your home. The map on the reverse of this invitation indicates the location of the Falcon Picnic Area and the Interpretive Center.
Professor Peter Peregrine, of Lawrence's anthropology department, has a special interest in the Mississippian culture and encourages you to take advantage of this opportunity. He writes:
Cahokia is a World Heritage Site, and for good reason. It represents the largest prehistoric city in the Americas north of Mexico, and contains the largest man-made structure (Monks Mound) in the United States before the 19th century. Indeed, if the estimate of 40,000 residents is correct, then at AD 1100 Cahokia was larger than most cities in Europe.
Cahokia's size was not an accident. It is located at a central point in the Mississippi River system, and that location allowed its residents to engage in trade across the eastern three quarters of North America. To maintain order among such a large group of residents, the Cahokians developed what became the most complex and centralized political system known in the United States before colonization.
The site stands as a tribute to its builders and to their ancestors. The site reminds us of the fact that North American Indians developed civilizations that rivaled those found anywhere else in the world and that the collapse and destruction of those civilizations, often at the hands of European colonial powers, is one of the greatest tragedies of human history.
