LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR, LOVE YOURSELF
"Love thy neighbor" was always Rogers' MO: He'd even weigh himself each day and smile that he always came in at 143, his own personal numerology code for I love you (just count the letters). And "won't you be my neighbor" weren't just lyrics - it was said in the documentary it's an invitation for someone to be close to you - and those words carried Rogers in real life.
STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN
In the 1969, President Nixon threatened to cut all funding for PBS - essentially displacing "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood." Facing a skeptical Congress, Fred Rogers (a Peabody award winner) testified to save PBS, explaining how the show provided children with gentle, less violent content than the cartoons of the time.
LISTEN TO YOUR CHILDREN
Rogers believed that children have deep feelings the way everyone else does, and his work was a testament to the importance of listening to them, validating them and responding to them. He wasn't afraid to mine unpleasant topics, such as war, death and divorce, for teachable moments
JUST BEING YOU IS ENOUGH
It was of the utmost importance to Rogers that kids felt valued, liked and appreciated, simply for being who they were. He'd acknowledge their feelings of fear and self-doubt and take the time to reassure them through various life challenges. Though he gave a lot in this way, he wasn't immune from his own self-doubt; the documentary revealed he questioned himself and his value regularly.

My Evolution in the Great Basin - LaVar Steel (1934-2016)
Don't miss this one-time-only memorial exhibition featuring the art of longtime CSI art faculty member LaVar Steel. The show features two- and three-dimensional works from the private collection of his wife, Marian Steel, and will showcase many never-before-exhibited pieces.
LaVar was the first CSI art faculty member hired by Dr. James Taylor in 1966, and he spent the early part of his career teaching most of the art classes offered by the college. LaVar and other art faculty saw the educational value in sharing art with students and the local community through gallery shows, field trips, and studio visits.
LaVar was a master of mediums, just as comfortable with a watercolor brush as he was with chisel, generating a lasting legacy of paintings, sculptures, ceramics, and more. LaVar continued working at CSI, serving as Chair of the Fine Arts Department and President of the Department Chairs during his career. He retired in 1997 and remained active as an artist until his death in 2016.
The exhibit can be viewed any time during normal Herrett Center hours.
Admission to the gallery is always free.
