Past Issues of CampusTown Artist Tim Rollins Coming to Campus Artist and educator Tim Rollins will speak in Douwstra Auditorium Wednesday, Oct. 11, at 11 a.m. Rollins uses art as a method of introducing at-risk teens to art history and world literature.

The results of his efforts were first shown at the Ronald Feldman Fine Art Gallery in New York City in 1982 and have since been displayed around the world.
