This week Live with Lewis traveled to Lewis and Clark Community College in Godfrey, Illinois. While there we learned about what was going on with the original expedition's winter camp two hundred years ago and also learned about an exciting project that's part of the Bicentennial Commemoration--the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial ArtsCorps. Meet artists Karen McCoy and Matt Dehaemers and hear them talk about their work as artists and what inspires them. Learn also about the art work that was part of the Falls of the Ohio Signature Event. Plus, see what Karen and Matt planned this spring in the St. Louis area. To see examples of the artists' work, check out the web sites on the Resources page of this exhibit.
