The University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s 2017 Spring Capstone Exhibition will be on display May 1-5 in the MEDICI Gallery, Eisentrager-Howard Gallery and the surrounding hallway on the first floor of Richards Hall.

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.

This 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. Participation is part of the ACE (Achievement-Centered Education) 10 Capstone course. Scholarly emphasis is in advanced visual and design research development, peer and professional collaboration, and critical thinking.

A closing reception will be held on Friday, May 5 from 5-7 p.m. in the Eisentrager- Howard Gallery with awards announced at 6 p.m.
