STLCC-Meramec home to sand sculpture
Two weeks ago, international sculptor Dan Belcher was seen outside the Student Center creating another project: this one celebrating the 50th anniversary of STLCC. Belcher was visiting Meramec art students to introduce a different perspective on sand sculpting. Belcher, who has been creating sand sculptures for 20 years, just came back from China after finishing an ”enormous piece,” art professor Joe Tesla said.
Tesla was responsible for bringing in the artist.
“I usually bring artists in once a year or once a semester,” Tesla said, “and the Sculpture Club had enough money in their account to bring Belcher to Meramec, along with the help of Steve Brady at Student Activites.”
