Twenty-four pieces of some of the finest work produced by UNL’s fashion and textile design students will be on display at the Biennial Student Juried Exhibition at the Robert Hillestad Textiles Gallery. The work will be on display in the gallery on the second floor of the Home Economics Building. The Friends of the Hillestad Gallery will host a closing reception for the exhibition on Friday, April 10, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., and awards will be announced at 5:30 p.m. in the gallery. The awards are generously provided by the Mary Mitchell Fashion Excellence Award Fund and the Friends of the Robert Hillestad Textiles Gallery. The public is welcome to attend and meet the designers.

This year’s invited juror is Kim Hahn, associate professor and associate director of the prestigious Fashion School of Kent State University in Kent, Ohio. Professor Hahn, who is an alumni of UNL’s TMFD department, earned both her MA in apparel design and her PHD in merchandising at UNL. She has participated in over twenty-two juried exhibitions and holds six first place awards for her designs, many of which were featured at the Hillestad Gallery in a recent show entitled, “Optical Meshing.” She has shown her work in China and Korea as well as throughout the U.S.
