Give a Christmas Tree to the Komechak Art Gallery!

Just imagine . . .

Twenty-five Christmas trees decorated by BenU students, local high schools, parishes, along with prominent area professional artist and graphic designers on display from November 20 through December 22, 2017 in the Komechak Art Gallery. Can you see it?

OUr five year goal is to make the Festival of Trees a campus-wide endeavor that will be the premier, must attend, hoilday event in our region and to raise $1M for the University Art Collection and our endowment funds.
