The University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s School of Art, Art History and Design will present the work of graduating undergraduate students in the Fall 2021 Capstone Exhibition, which will have both online and in-person components.
This biannual experience is held at the end of the fall and spring semesters and presents the work of each semester’s graduating Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Fine Arts seniors in studio art and graphic design as a culmination of their coursework and exploration.
The studio art exhibition will be on display in the Eisentrager•Howard Gallery in Richards Hall from Dec. 13-17. A closing reception will be 5 to 7 p.m. Dec. 17 in the gallery with awards being announced during the reception.
Gallery hours for the exhibition are weekdays, 12:30-4:30 p.m. Admission to the gallery is free and open to the public.
