Earlier this week, SMU student Owen Bartosh got a memorable tour of President Bush's "A Shining City on the Hilltop" art exhibit – led by the president himself! The exhibit name, an homage to President Reagan's "shining city on the hill," was submitted by Owen and selected from hundreds of submissions. When Owen arrived, President and Mrs. Bush were there to welcome him and give him a tour of the art depicting both everyday and historic moments on the SMU campus and the Bush Center. Be among the first to experience these never-before-seen paintings, now on display! (fb)
