The Nebraska Art Teachers Association (NATA) will have a juried exhibition Sept. 7-Oct. 2 at the Eisentrager-Howard Gallery in Richards Hall, at Stadium Drive and T street, on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln city campus.

Larry Roots, gallery owner and artist at Modern Arts Midwest, is the juror for the exhibition. An awards reception will be held on Friday, Oct. 2 at 4:30 p.m. in the gallery.

The exhibition features the work of art educators who live or work in Nebraska and is being presented in conjunction with the NATA Fall Conference being held Oct. 2-3 in Lincoln.

"This exhibition provides an opportunity for art educators to demonstrate their skills as artists in a professional setting," said Nancy Childs, Curriculum Specialist for Visual Art in the Lincoln Public Schools. "There is great variety in the media used, and it is always an interesting show."

Gallery hours are Monday-Thursday, noon to 4 p.m. The gallery is free and open to the public. For more information, visit www.unl.edu/art or call the Department of Art and Art History at (402) 472-5522.
