We'll tap into our imaginations and find inspiration from artistic masters, whether that means from cave paintings or collages and beyond! In this week’s Special Edition of Art Club to celebrate Expo ‘74’s 50th anniversary, we’ll use everything our station has to offer to decorate our very own 3-foot Garbage Goat! Our goat will be living outside during the warm months, so you can always come back to say hi to this communal art piece.
