Graduate students in the Master of Fine Arts (MFA) program in the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s School of Art, Art History & Design will be hosting an Open Studios event on Friday, Oct. 19 from 5-7 p.m. in Woods Art Building and Richards Hall. Admission is free and open to the public.

Open Studios is an opportunity for the public to explore the creative studios of artists in the MFA program, who are working in ceramics, painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography and social practice. Visitors will have the chance to see developing artworks in progress, to ask questions about processes and ideas and to make personal connections with artists whose work moves them.

Refreshments will be served, and raffle tickets will be sold for artworks donated by MFA candidates. The event is sponsored by Visual Artists in Practice (VAP), a recognized student organization which raises funds to support students in the MFA-Art program at the University of Nebraska.

Richards Hall is located at the corner of Stadium Drive and T streets on the university’s city campus. Woods Art Building is directly west of Sheldon Museum of Art.
