'Of and By Women Artists' Film Series Continues
The Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery will screen "Our City Dreams" by Chiara Clement at 7 p.m., Feb. 22. After the film, UNL professors Marissa Vigneault and Wendy Weiss will lead a discussion. The screening and talk are free and open to the public.
Filmed over the course of two years, "Our City Dreams" is an invitation to visit the creative spaces of five women artists, each of whom possesses her own energy, drive and passion. These women, who span different decades and represent diverse cultures, have one thing in common beyond making art: the city to which they have journeyed and now call home - New York. more...
