CELEBRATION OF GRADUATE STUDENT WORK IS MARCH 2


Graduate Showcase
Lincoln, Neb.--The annual Celebration of Graduate Student Work will be Friday, March 2, from 1 0a.m.-2 p.m. in the Van Brunt Visitors Center at 13th and Q sts. The event is free and open to the public.
                 
"This event gives us a wonderful opportunity to showcase the work of our graduate students in the Arts in an informal setting, one in which the students can have a personal dialogue with those who come to view the various graduate projects," said Giacomo M. Oliva, endowed dean of the Hixson-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts. "It also offers our graduate students an opportunity to interact and share their work with graduate students from the Colleges of Architecture and Education and Human Sciences."

Twenty-six graduate students from the Hixson-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts (School of Music, Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film and Department of Art and Art History), the College of Architecture, and the College of Education and Human Sciences (Department of Textiles, Clothing and Design) will display their work at the showcase. Visitors then have the opportunity to view their work, talk with the graduate students about their creative process, and ask questions about their projects.

The projects range from three architecture projects that examine the reconstruction of New Orleans by Leslie Hill, Bruce Yoder, Matt Smith and Kristin Ubben, to a consideration of the organic world through the framework of print by Department of Art and Art History student Jewel Noll, to an exhibition of digital textiles by Department of Textiles, Clothing and Design student Andrew Boettger, to a study of historic costumes by Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film student Helen Nosova, to the original musical composition of "Minimal Effort" by School of Music graduate student Jeffrey Richmond, among many others.                  

The event is sponsored by the Office of Graduate Studies, the Hixson-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts, the College of Architecture, the College of Education and Human Sciences and the Van Brunt Visitors Center.
