The From the Ground Up initiative is an ongoing collaboration between artists living in Lawrence, Kansas and scientists and teachers from the University of Kansas and the Kansas Geological Survey. The project "seeks to capture the imagination of students of all ages who are interested in the landscape around them and exploring the connections between human history, art, geography, biology and other disciplines." Currently, there are over 700 images here, and visitors can look through them at their leisure. The neat thing is that each of these artworks has been mapped to a particular GPS coordinate, so visitors can locate each of them on a map. Visitors shouldn't miss the beautiful paintings by Paul Hotvedt which dramatically depict the landscape around Lawrence via a series of perspectives on the local landscape. Other archival items here include photographs of Lawrence from the early 20th century and a selection of maps. Overall, it's a rather wonderful look at the artistic impulses that have emanated from this corner of the United States.
