Art from the Heart, the spring sister to our annual fall-time Chili Bowl, had her debut this Valentine's Day in the Lightwell Gallery.  Thank you to all of our faculty members and students who donated their work to the Valentine's Day fundraiser and to those who came out to make it such a great success.  We'll be sure to do it again next year!  The Norman Arts Council included a summary into their event section and The Oklahoman came down and documented the event.
