Trial

Susan Belau, Trial, 1997, three color intaglio,

Opening today at the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery and continuing through February 27, 2005 is the retrospective exhibit entitled 'A Printmaker's Continuing Legacy: The Thomas P. Coleman Award, 1989-Present.' This exhibition offers a selection of twenty prints, by past UNL printmaking students of the last two decades, who have benefited from the influence of one of UNL's great art educators.

Thomas P. Coleman's influence as a printmaker at UNL was cut short at his untimely death in 1971. However, through the establishment of the 'Thomas P. Coleman Award,' his impact is still felt today. This Award provides not only stipend for an undergraduate and graduate printmaking student in the department of art and art history at UNL, it also stipulates that the winning print become part of the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery's permanent collection.
