Great Plains Art Museum extends beadwork exhibition

            The Great Plains Art Museum at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln has extended the exhibition, "Relative Position: The Sculptural Beadwork of Molly Murphy Adams," until June 15.

            The exhibition was originally scheduled to close on May 26, but museum curator Amber Mohr said it has been extended for three weeks due to popular demand.

            Murphy Adams was the 2013 Elizabeth Rubendall Artist-in-Residence and created a commissioned piece titled "Relative Position" for the museum's permanent collection between April 23 and May 3. The commissioned artwork has been added to her solo exhibition, and exhibiting concurrently in the West Gallery are works from prior Rubendall Residency commissions. Many of Murphy Adams' artworks will be available for sale, including beadwork jewelry, and Murphy Adams will donate 25 percent of proceeds to support programs and acquisitions at the Great Plains Art Museum.

            The Great Plains Art Museum is open to the public 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 1:30 to 5 p.m. Sundays. There is no admission charge. For more information, visit http://www.unl.edu/plains/gallery/gallery.shtml.
