For a scenic stroll on WSU's campus, all you will need is a good pair of walking shoes, a cell phone and a copy of the WSU Campus ArtTour brochure. The Visual, Performing and Literary Arts Committee (VPLAC) is hard at work at creating a self-guided mobile tour of more than fifty pieces of outdoor art on the WSU-Pullman campus. The concept was first developed by former VPLAC student coordinator, Trevor Park.
