Thanks to Don and Kathy Smith, Wonderland Way works are headed to IU Southeast.

Readers with long memories may recall that in early 2013, I was very impressed with the Wonderland Way exhibition at the Carnegie Center.

Of art shops, Try-Centennials, and artists of the Wonderland Way.

Now, thanks to a generous donation, IU Southeast is commencing a permanent collection.

IUS to get artwork worth more than $500,000, by Elizabeth Kramer (C-J)

... The Smiths have collected more than 600 paintings by mostly regional artists, a large portion of them Wonderland Way painters, and last week saw 10 of them installed at the university's Paul W. Ogle Cultural & Community Center as part of The James L. Russell Wonderland Way Collection.
