Description	Painting the Corps: Artistic Visions of Lewis and Clark, provides a colorful look at how artists have depicted this pivotal event in American history. This exhibit includes both contemprary works created expressly for Painting the Corps, and historic works from the museum's permanent collection. Don Prechtel, who is widely noted for his expertise in art relating to military history, helped organize the show by recruiting eight of his colleagues as contributors to the show. An artists' reception will be held for the general public in August 2005 during the Western Rendezvous of Art.
