The School of Art, Art History & Design at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln presents the work of 40 undergraduate students in the Spring 2021 Capstone experience.

The online experience is available at http://www.unlcapstone.com/2021-spring and features the digital presentation of Capstone projects from all 40 graduating students in art history, design and studio art. Viewers will find a page for each student that contains information on their personal research as well as links to further information like websites, CVs, social media handles, and more.

“We live in a time where creatives are expected to supplement their brick-and-mortar shows via a virtual exhibition, a website or social media presence,” said Patricia Davis, the director of the Eisentrager-Howard Gallery. “And due to the pandemic, that was (and still is) the only option for many. Last spring, we began working with a web-based presentation for the Capstone out of necessity, and it has changed everything. This semester we are continuing to use that online presentation and re-incorporating in-person activity. Offering both avenues for presentation is a great way for us to meet the display needs of our students and expand their audience.”

This biannual experience is held at the end of the fall and spring semesters and presents the work of each semester's graduating Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) seniors as a culmination of their coursework and exploration.
