"What I See" will feature self portraits created by rural school children in Sri Lanka. The exhibit is a special fundraising event for the University of Missouri-St. Louis Operation Teardrop Campaign, and will feature a silent auction of the children’s artwork and a handmade quilt.

An opening reception will be from 4 to 7 p.m. May 8 in the gallery. Light refreshments will be served.

Proceeds from the Gallery Visio fundraiser will be used to create an environmental education and recycling program at the campaign’s sponsored school.
