Lincoln, Neb. - The annual Celebration of Graduate Student Work will be Thursday, March 11, from noon to 4 p.m. in the Van Brunt Visitors Center at 13th and Q St. on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln city campus. 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."
Sixteen 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.
Some of the projects include a selection of handmade books by an art student; selected piano recordings by a music student; costume designs by theatre students; healthcare studio design work by architecture students; and a selection of art quilts by a textiles student.
The event is sponsored by 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.
