40 North | 88 West Benefit Hosted at Home of UIUC President

May 16, 2006
Urbana-Champaign - The first-ever 40 North | 88 West benefit event, Art on the Green, took place May 15, 2006 at the home of University of Illinois President and Mrs. B. Joseph White.  Set inside a large garden tent adjacent to the President's home, it was a visually stunning and highly participatory event.  Ignoring the persistent rain, a team of designers worked diligently to transform the space prior to Monday night, making Art on the Green a garden party like no other.  From food and floral arrangements to lighting and graphics, these extraordinary artists succeeded in creating a spectacular environment that impressed guests from the moment they arrived.  Read more here.
