The School of Art, Art History & Design at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln will present the Spring 2025 Capstone Exhibitions, showcasing the work of graduating undergraduate students in studio art and graphic design. The graphic design exhibition runs from April 28 to May 2, and the studio art exhibition from May 12 to May 16, both at the Eisentrager-Howard Gallery. Participating students include Dana Clements, Sofie Curto, and others in studio art, and Fatima Al-Jayashi, Reanne Ballinger, and others in graphic design. Featured projects include Chenyu Wu's 'Qloud,' an emotional expression system for individuals with alexithymia, Lindsey Johnson's video game 'Scattered,' and Sophie Kroeker's collaboration with FARINER Bakery.
This event matters because it marks a significant milestone for emerging artists and designers, providing a public platform to present their capstone projects that synthesize years of academic study and creative exploration. The exhibitions highlight the breadth of talent and innovation within the university's art program, from traditional painting and drawing to interactive design and game development, and foster community engagement through closing receptions and awards. Such showcases are vital for launching the careers of new visual artists and designers into the broader art world.
