Congratulations to the undergrad artists that were accepted into the 37th Undergraduate Juried Exhibition. For 37 years, the Undergraduate Juried Exhibition is an opportunity to give the undergrad students of the Art, Art History, Design and Center of Emerging Media Arts to show their best work from the past 12 months on a competitive platform. The Juried Exhibition accepts a variety of medias; whether it's a more traditional medium like ceramics, drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture or a new, modern medium like graphic design and digital media (including video.) Each year, the Art department brings in a juror that decides who is selected for the show and help figure out who receives an award. This year's juror is art historian, Suzanne Wise.
Suzanne Wise is an art historian with a specialization in American painting and photography. She received her M.A. in art history from the University of Kansas, and held curatorial positions at Sheldon Art Museum, Joslyn Art Museum and Northwestern University’s Block Gallery. Suzanne has also taught at Creighton University and in the University of Nebraska system. Her career at the Nebraska Arts Council began in 1988 and after over 20 years, Suzanne recently retired from her role as executive director at the NAC; a state agency that promotes, cultivates and sustains the arts for the people of Nebraska. She served as the public art program administrator, and managed special initiatives and all grant programs, except arts education for the agency. She has served on numerous boards in Nebraska and nationally including Mid-America Arts Alliance in Kansas City, and the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies in Washington, D.C.
The accepted undergrad artists' works will be shown in the Eisentrager-Howard Gallery from Feb. 2nd-March 1st and have a chance to win some awards during the closing reception on Friday, March 1st from 5-7pm with awards being announced at 6pm.
