The University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s 2018 Spring Capstone Exhibition closes this evening (May 4) with a reception from 5-7:00 p.m. in the Eisentrager-Howard Gallery and MEDICI Gallery in Richards Hall.

The Capstone Exhibition features the work of 28 graduating Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Fine Arts majors in studio art and graphic design from the School of Art, Art History and Design. Each student has written a statement to accompany their works, and those will be on view as well.
