“Ceramic Alumni Exhibition” will be on display in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Eisentrager-Howard Gallery from Oct. 7-21.

A First Friday reception will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Oct. 7 in the gallery. The reception is free and open to the public.

The exhibition consists of artworks from 35 ceramics alumni of the former Department of Art and Art History. It was organized to coincide with the American Craft Council Conference, “Presence Tense,” that will occur Oct. 13-15 at Kaneko in Omaha.

“The American Craft Council board and organizers will be touring galleries and museums in Lincoln after the conference, and we thought this would be a golden opportunity for us to show off the work of our impressive list of former students,” said Margaret Bohls, associate professor of art. “This will also be a great opportunity for our current students to see and to study the work of this group of nationally recognized ceramic artists.”

U.S. News and World Report has consistently ranked the Nebraska graduate ceramics program in the top ten nationally. The award-winning alumni are active leaders in the field of ceramics and include full-time studio artists, university faculty, business owners, teachers and college administrators.

The Eisentrager-Howard Gallery is on the first floor of Richards Hall, which is located at Stadium Drive and T St.

Gallery hours are from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Admission to the gallery is free and open to the public.
