Joyce Miller, Art Professor and Director of the East Wing Gallery, said the fundraising campaign to purchase a bronze sculpture by Gene Cauthen has been successful and still ongoing.
Miller explained that the fundraising for the bronze piece started in the fall of 2018 and has been off to a good start. Although Miller does not know exactly how much has been raised, she said that the best form of fundraising has been through email lists, the art department Facebook page, printed announcements on campus and in the community, and word of mouth. The MWCC Foundation and the Marketing Department have assisted in getting a link set up for accepting donations specifically for the Gene Cauthen sculpture fundraiser, which Miller explained was a big help.
