Creative Commons is hosting a graduate student interactive panel this Tuesday, October 29th, from 5-6 p.m. in Richards Hall, Room 106. The event offers students an opportunity to connect with and hear from graduate students currently enrolled in our Master of Fine Arts program. This open conversation will include discussions about why they create, navigating graduate school, their personal work, and answers to any questions you might have.
Creative Commons is a Recognized Student Organization (RSO) affiliated with the College of Fine and Performing Arts that focuses on cultivating a community for creative students and promoting student voices through artwork and professional development opportunities. Throughout the year, they host events featuring working artists, workshops on new mediums and software like screen printing and Adobe Photoshop, and they organize an annual Creative Commons Group Exhibtion. This organization welcomes any and all students of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
The graduate student interactive panel, organized by President Sophia Harding and Primary Programmer Trevor Marten, will feature graduate students Brian Garbrecht, Daniel Garcia, Charlotte Middleton, and Alex Renbarger.
Garbrecht is a second-year photography graduate and multidisciplinary artist whose work blends photography and time-based media to explore themes of family, memory, and identity. Garcia is a second-year ceramic graduate and visual artist who juxtaposes geometry and geological matrices, pushing the boundaries of materiality and sacred spaces. Middleton, a third-year ceramics graduate, creates functional still life ceramics that highlight the often-overlooked but essential daily acts of drinking, sharing, and nourishing. Renbarger is a third-year painting graduate who paints isolated interior scenes with intense lighting and vivid colors, based on AI-generated images.
