“Like a lot of people, I grew up playing the classics with my friends and family – Hi Ho Cherry-o and Candyland as a young child, and, as an older kid, Monopoly, Life, and Trivial Pursuit. I’ll be honest, I hate a lot of those games now (too much luck and not enough strategy needed), but I still have a lot of the old beat-up boxes in my closet.

“In grad school, I stumbled into a group of friends that introduced me to the new wave of Eurogames and all their deeply convoluted rule books. It was love at first play. I’d call it a hobby, but even though adulthood has made it a lot harder to wrangle a group of friends together for board game night, I still keep buying games. I have over two hundred games now (over twice that if you count expansions), and I’m a sucker for a good component.

“Kickstarter has absolutely ruined my bank account with all the deluxe versions and stretch goals. So given all that, I can’t call this a hobby. It’s a collection that dreams of making it to the table, and if being INSIDE a table is the closest this collection can get, I’ll take it.”

Each student’s project is drawn from a process of critical research and creative engagement with archival materials. Exploring themes of self-expression, nature, and the metaphysical, this exhibition provides new interpretations of archival materials and repurposes the collection to inspire new research. Through analysis and response, students developed an ideation process using library materials within their sketchbooks. From there, they selected the material and subjects they were interested in and created their own artworks inspired by these pieces. They then organized individual exhibitions that present these works alongside the collection items to illustrate the potential of archival research within creative practice.

About the Event

Shape America’s founding document.

The Model Constitutional Convention (MCC) is modeled after a form of Convention described in Article V of the U.S. Constitution. The premise of the MCC is that pursuant to Article V of the Constitution, Congress has heeded a call from 2/3 of the states to call a convention for proposing amendments. Delegates representing each state gather to propose, debate, and vote on amendments. Because the MCC is a simulated exercise over a three-day time period, its procedures constitute an approximation of the Article V requirements to amend the Constitution. For example, Article V requires 3/4 of the state legislatures to ratify amendments. In contrast, the MCC requires a 3/4 vote at the Convention for an amendment to be approved.

Ultrasound imaging is widely used in clinical practice due to its safety, accessibility, and low cost, yet it remains largely qualitative, relying on images of backscattered echoes rather than quantitative estimates of tissue properties. In this talk, I present a framework for quantitative ultrasound imaging that inverts the physics of wave propagation to reconstruct spatial maps of tissue mechanical properties from measured waveforms. I discuss how this perspective naturally leads to full-waveform inversion as a PDE-constrained optimization problem. I also present experimental results in transmission ultrasound that demonstrate MRI-like image quality in breast imaging, highlighting the potential for quantitative ultrasound to complement or reduce reliance on more expensive imaging modalities. Finally, I outline the extension of this framework to pulse-echo ultrasound, where limited-view and highly ill-posed imaging conditions motivate related wave-based inverse methods. I conclude by discussing emerging directions in physics-based modeling and inversion strategies for improving robustness and clinical applicability.

Through analysis and response, students developed an ideation process using library materials within their sketchbooks. From there, they selected the material and subjects they were interested in and created their own artworks inspired by these pieces. They then organized individual exhibitions that present these works alongside the collection items to illustrate the potential of archival research within creative practice.

“Like a lot of people, I grew up playing the classics with my friends and family – Hi Ho Cherry-o and Candyland as a young child, and, as an older kid, Monopoly, Life, and Trivial Pursuit. I’ll be honest, I hate a lot of those games now (too much luck and not enough strategy needed), but I still have a lot of the old beat-up boxes in my closet.

“In grad school, I stumbled into a group of friends that introduced me to the new wave of Eurogames and all their deeply convoluted rule books. It was love at first play. I’d call it a hobby, but even though adulthood has made it a lot harder to wrangle a group of friends together for board game night, I still keep buying games. I have over two hundred games now (over twice that if you count expansions), and I’m a sucker for a good component.

“Kickstarter has absolutely ruined my bank account with all the deluxe versions and stretch goals. So given all that, I can’t call this a hobby. It’s a collection that dreams of making it to the table, and if being INSIDE a table is the closest this collection can get, I’ll take it.”

“Like a lot of people, I grew up playing the classics with my friends and family – Hi Ho Cherry-o and Candyland as a young child, and, as an older kid, Monopoly, Life, and Trivial Pursuit. I’ll be honest, I hate a lot of those games now (too much luck and not enough strategy needed), but I still have a lot of the old beat-up boxes in my closet.

“In grad school, I stumbled into a group of friends that introduced me to the new wave of Eurogames and all their deeply convoluted rule books. It was love at first play. I’d call it a hobby, but even though adulthood has made it a lot harder to wrangle a group of friends together for board game night, I still keep buying games. I have over two hundred games now (over twice that if you count expansions), and I’m a sucker for a good component.

“Kickstarter has absolutely ruined my bank account with all the deluxe versions and stretch goals. So given all that, I can’t call this a hobby. It’s a collection that dreams of making it to the table, and if being INSIDE a table is the closest this collection can get, I’ll take it.”

Each student’s project is drawn from a process of critical research and creative engagement with archival materials. Exploring themes of self-expression, nature, and the metaphysical, this exhibition provides new interpretations of archival materials and repurposes the collection to inspire new research. Through analysis and response, students developed an ideation process using library materials within their sketchbooks. From there, they selected the material and subjects they were interested in and created their own artworks inspired by these pieces. They then organized individual exhibitions that present these works alongside the collection items to illustrate the potential of archival research within creative practice.

Designed for K–12 teachers across disciplines, the program brings visual art, music, and storytelling into dynamic conversation, modeling creative strategies educators can immediately apply in their classrooms. Participants engage directly with artworks in the Museum’s permanent collection galleries to explore how opera and visual art use shared elements—character, emotion, narrative, and design—to communicate powerful ideas.

The hands-on activities, guided discussion, and lesson-planning support offered through Art Sings empower teachers to spark student curiosity, deepen critical thinking, and make curricular connections across arts and social sciences. The workshop emphasizes accessible, student-centered approaches that foster observation, interpretation, and self-expression. Workshop participants are also invited to attend a live Opera Theatre of Saint Louis dress rehearsal of Gounod’s Romeo and Juliet at the Loretto-Hilton Theater in Webster Groves.

Exploring themes of self-expression, nature, and the metaphysical, this exhibition provides new interpretations of archival materials and repurposes the collection to inspire new research. Through analysis and response, students developed an ideation process using library materials within their sketchbooks. From there, they selected the material and subjects they were interested in and created their own artworks inspired by these pieces. They then organized individual exhibitions that present these works alongside the collection items to illustrate the potential of archival research within creative practice.

“Like a lot of people, I grew up playing the classics with my friends and family – Hi Ho Cherry-o and Candyland as a young child, and, as an older kid, Monopoly, Life, and Trivial Pursuit. I’ll be honest, I hate a lot of those games now (too much luck and not enough strategy needed), but I still have a lot of the old beat-up boxes in my closet.

“In grad school, I stumbled into a group of friends that introduced me to the new wave of Eurogames and all their deeply convoluted rule books. It was love at first play. I’d call it a hobby, but even though adulthood has made it a lot harder to wrangle a group of friends together for board game night, I still keep buying games. I have over two hundred games now (over twice that if you count expansions), and I’m a sucker for a good component.

“Kickstarter has absolutely ruined my bank account with all the deluxe versions and stretch goals. So given all that, I can’t call this a hobby. It’s a collection that dreams of making it to the table, and if being INSIDE a table is the closest this collection can get, I’ll take it.”

From there, they selected the material and subjects they were interested in and created their own artworks inspired by these pieces. They then organized individual exhibitions that present these works alongside the collection items to illustrate the potential of archival research within creative practice.

This exhibition features printed versions of the Declaration of Independence, including an example that traveled to the moon, along with a discussion of the document’s importance throughout history and the ways groups have sought to ensure the principles in the Declaration are upheld for all people. It also includes founding documents that showcase the early history of the United States, as well as artists’ books that interpret and interact with history, the country’s founding, and American patriotism.

The Unalienable Rights exhibition was organized by Len Augsburger, Cassie Brand, and Kelly Schmidt, with assistance from Gracie Paige, MFA-IVC 2025.

“Like a lot of people, I grew up playing the classics with my friends and family – Hi Ho Cherry-o and Candyland as a young child, and, as an older kid, Monopoly, Life, and Trivial Pursuit. I’ll be honest, I hate a lot of those games now (too much luck and not enough strategy needed), but I still have a lot of the old beat-up boxes in my closet.

“In grad school, I stumbled into a group of friends that introduced me to the new wave of Eurogames and all their deeply convoluted rule books. It was love at first play. I’d call it a hobby, but even though adulthood has made it a lot harder to wrangle a group of friends together for board game night, I still keep buying games. I have over two hundred games now (over twice that if you count expansions), and I’m a sucker for a good component.

“Kickstarter has absolutely ruined my bank account with all the deluxe versions and stretch goals. So given all that, I can’t call this a hobby. It’s a collection that dreams of making it to the table, and if being INSIDE a table is the closest this collection can get, I’ll take it.”

Each student’s project is drawn from a process of critical research and creative engagement with archival materials. Exploring themes of self-expression, nature, and the metaphysical, this exhibition provides new interpretations of archival materials and repurposes the collection to inspire new research. Through analysis and response, students developed an ideation process using library materials within their sketchbooks. From there, they selected the material and subjects they were interested in and created their own artworks inspired by these pieces. They then organized individual exhibitions that present these works alongside the collection items to illustrate the potential of archival research within creative practice.

This exhibition features printed versions of the Declaration of Independence, including an example that traveled to the moon, along with a discussion of the document’s importance throughout history and the ways groups have sought to ensure the principles in the Declaration are upheld for all people. It also includes founding documents that showcase the early history of the United States, as well as artists’ books that interpret and interact with history, the country’s founding, and American patriotism.

The Unalienable Rights exhibition was organized by Len Augsburger, Cassie Brand, and Kelly Schmidt, with assistance from Gracie Paige, MFA-IVC 2025.

“Like a lot of people, I grew up playing the classics with my friends and family – Hi Ho Cherry-o and Candyland as a young child, and, as an older kid, Monopoly, Life, and Trivial Pursuit. I’ll be honest, I hate a lot of those games now (too much luck and not enough strategy needed), but I still have a lot of the old beat-up boxes in my closet.

“In grad school, I stumbled into a group of friends that introduced me to the new wave of Eurogames and all their deeply convoluted rule books. It was love at first play. I’d call it a hobby, but even though adulthood has made it a lot harder to wrangle a group of friends together for board game night, I still keep buying games. I have over two hundred games now (over twice that if you count expansions), and I’m a sucker for a good component.

“Kickstarter has absolutely ruined my bank account with all the deluxe versions and stretch goals. So given all that, I can’t call this a hobby. It’s a collection that dreams of making it to the table, and if being INSIDE a table is the closest this collection can get, I’ll take it.”

Each student’s project is drawn from a process of critical research and creative engagement with archival materials. Exploring themes of self-expression, nature, and the metaphysical, this exhibition provides new interpretations of archival materials and repurposes the collection to inspire new research. Through analysis and response, students developed an ideation process using library materials within their sketchbooks. From there, they selected the material and subjects they were interested in and created their own artworks inspired by these pieces. They then organized individual exhibitions that present these works alongside the collection items to illustrate the potential of archival research within creative practice.

“Like a lot of people, I grew up playing the classics with my friends and family – Hi Ho Cherry-o and Candyland as a young child, and, as an older kid, Monopoly, Life, and Trivial Pursuit. I’ll be honest, I hate a lot of those games now (too much luck and not enough strategy needed), but I still have a lot of the old beat-up boxes in my closet.

“In grad school, I stumbled into a group of friends that introduced me to the new wave of Eurogames and all their deeply convoluted rule books. It was love at first play. I’d call it a hobby, but even though adulthood has made it a lot harder to wrangle a group of friends together for board game night, I still keep buying games. I have over two hundred games now (over twice that if you count expansions), and I’m a sucker for a good component.

“Kickstarter has absolutely ruined my bank account with all the deluxe versions and stretch goals. So given all that, I can’t call this a hobby. It’s a collection that dreams of making it to the table, and if being INSIDE a table is the closest this collection can get, I’ll take it.”

From there, they selected the material and subjects they were interested in and created their own artworks inspired by these pieces. They then organized individual exhibitions that present these works alongside the collection items to illustrate the potential of archival research within creative practice.

“Like a lot of people, I grew up playing the classics with my friends and family – Hi Ho Cherry-o and Candyland as a young child, and, as an older kid, Monopoly, Life, and Trivial Pursuit. I’ll be honest, I hate a lot of those games now (too much luck and not enough strategy needed), but I still have a lot of the old beat-up boxes in my closet.

“In grad school, I stumbled into a group of friends that introduced me to the new wave of Eurogames and all their deeply convoluted rule books. It was love at first play. I’d call it a hobby, but even though adulthood has made it a lot harder to wrangle a group of friends together for board game night, I still keep buying games. I have over two hundred games now (over twice that if you count expansions), and I’m a sucker for a good component.

“Kickstarter has absolutely ruined my bank account with all the deluxe versions and stretch goals. So given all that, I can’t call this a hobby. It’s a collection that dreams of making it to the table, and if being INSIDE a table is the closest this collection can get, I’ll take it.”

Exploring themes of self-expression, nature, and the metaphysical, this exhibition provides new interpretations of archival materials and repurposes the collection to inspire new research. Through analysis and response, students developed an ideation process using library materials within their sketchbooks.

Each student’s project is drawn from a process of critical research and creative engagement with archival materials. Exploring themes of self-expression, nature, and the metaphysical, this exhibition provides new interpretations of archival materials and repurposes the collection to inspire new research. Through analysis and response, students developed an ideation process using library materials within their sketchbooks. From there, they selected the material and subjects they were interested in and created their own artworks inspired by these pieces. They then organized individual exhibitions that present these works alongside the collection items to illustrate the potential of archival research within creative practice.

“Like a lot of people, I grew up playing the classics with my friends and family – Hi Ho Cherry-o and Candyland as a young child, and, as an older kid, Monopoly, Life, and Trivial Pursuit. I’ll be honest, I hate a lot of those games now (too much luck and not enough strategy needed), but I still have a lot of the old beat-up boxes in my closet.

“In grad school, I stumbled into a group of friends that introduced me to the new wave of Eurogames and all their deeply convoluted rule books. It was love at first play. I’d call it a hobby, but even though adulthood has made it a lot harder to wrangle a group of friends together for board game night, I still keep buying games. I have over two hundred games now (over twice that if you count expansions), and I’m a sucker for a good component.

“Kickstarter has absolutely ruined my bank account with all the deluxe versions and stretch goals. So given all that, I can’t call this a hobby. It’s a collection that dreams of making it to the table, and if being INSIDE a table is the closest this collection can get, I’ll take it.”

Exploring themes of self-expression, nature, and the metaphysical, this exhibition provides new interpretations of archival materials and repurposes the collection to inspire new research. Through analysis and response, students developed an ideation process using library materials within their sketchbooks. From there, they selected the material and subjects they were interested in and created their own artworks inspired by these pieces. They then organized individual exhibitions that present these works alongside the collection items to illustrate the potential of archival research within creative practice.

“Like a lot of people, I grew up playing the classics with my friends and family – Hi Ho Cherry-o and Candyland as a young child, and, as an older kid, Monopoly, Life, and Trivial Pursuit. I’ll be honest, I hate a lot of those games now (too much luck and not enough strategy needed), but I still have a lot of the old beat-up boxes in my closet.

“In grad school, I stumbled into a group of friends that introduced me to the new wave of Eurogames and all their deeply convoluted rule books. It was love at first play. I’d call it a hobby, but even though adulthood has made it a lot harder to wrangle a group of friends together for board game night, I still keep buying games. I have over two hundred games now (over twice that if you count expansions), and I’m a sucker for a good component.

“Kickstarter has absolutely ruined my bank account with all the deluxe versions and stretch goals. So given all that, I can’t call this a hobby. It’s a collection that dreams of making it to the table, and if being INSIDE a table is the closest this collection can get, I’ll take it.”
