Capstone Exhibition and Closing Reception

The University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s 2017 Spring Capstone Exhibition is on display through May 5th in the MEDICI Gallery, Eisentrager-Howard Gallery and the surrounding hallway on the first floor of Richards Hall.

Please join us for a closing reception on Friday, May 5 from 5-7 p.m. in the Eisentrager- Howard Gallery. Awards will be announced at 6 p.m.

This exhibition features the work of 30 graduating Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Fine Arts majors in studio art from the School of Art, Art History and Design. Each student has written a statement to accompany their works, and those will be on view as well in three binders—one in the Eisentrager-Howard Gallery and two in the hallway.

The Capstone exhibition is held biannually at the end of the fall and spring semesters and presents the work of each semester’s graduating seniors as a culmination of their coursework and exploration in studio art and design at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.
