The Shafer Art Gallery has installed an educational display to illustrate the complex process the Gallery’s namesake Gus Shafer utilized to create his famous bronze statue collection.

The exhibit was paid for through private donations from the Bill McKown estate.�� McKown’s generosity is recognized via signage, which names the exhibit “Bill McKown Presents: How to Make a Metal Horse.”�� Mckown passed away in April of 2014.
