As part of International Week at SIU, a group of Tibetan monk sand painters (from India) are creating a mandala for the occasion. Better look fast, because the creation is only temporary and the sand will be returned to the river by the monks in a religious ceremony over the weekend. (That's the Dalai Lama in the photo).Art Lovers own sand painter Victor Degraff will be visiting the monks and exchanging sand painting strategies.
