The "Grass Roots" art exhibi

more days at the Hayinaxkct Art

grasses in a variety of concepts.
Eleven area artists were given the
theme "Grass Roots" and were
asked to interpret it in their own
way.
The exhibit includes various
art forms including photography,
prints, paintings and dry grass
compositions. The dry grass
compositions present many types
of grasses found near the city
creative decorating is only as far
away as the nearest uncut grass.
Some of the grasses exhibited
include Nebraska's official state
grass, the two-to-three-foot tall
little blue stem grass probably
the waving red grass mentioned
in Willa Cather's books. The Hun
garian brome grass, found along
the sida of highways and widely
planted as pasture grass, also is on

gold weed, switch grass and the
big blue stem grass also are on

The beauty of the natural grass

lection of art complementing the
prairie grass theme. The gallery,
at 1 19 S. 9th St is open Tuesday
through Saturday, 10:20 a.m. to
4:30 p.m. and Sunday, 1 to 4.
In conjunction with this exhibit
are copies of three speeches about
the settlement of the plains. The
first speech, "From Plow to Poe
try, b by UNL English professor
Roger Welsch, also named "Cap
tain Nebraska." The talk stresses
the importance of the aesthetic
sense in pioneer life. This sense
wa3 espressed in handicrafts,
quilting and folk music. At least
in part responsible for thi3 artis
try was the fact that pioneers
had to be their own artists out on
the frontier.
The second speech is by John
Carter, curator of photographs

Society. The talk, "Photographing
the American Dream," explains
the work of Solomon Butcher, a
sodhouse photographer. Butcher
set out in the 1800's to create a
deliberate photographic history
of the homcstcading and devel
opment of then populous Cus
ter County. His 4,000 glass plate
photographs, spanning 1SS5 to
1012, serve as a record of the
prairie settlement and architec
tural development of Custer
County.
Butcher published his work in
1901 3 "The Pioneer History of
Custer County." The collection is
available for research purposes
at the Nebraska State Historical
Society.
The third speech is by Bill Kloef
korn, the Nebraska State poet.
His topic is Tocms From and
Beyond the Prairie." He will speak
at the Haymarket Art Gallery
tonight at 7.
Funding for the exhibit and
lecture series was provided in
part by the Nebraska Committee
for the Humanities.

"I guess we always tell ourselves

Wallace said. "So we're used to
working hard, taking knocks. The
Midwestern work ethic allows U3
to survive on the coast And music,
like everything else, belongs to
the survivors.
Wallace said that even if he
doesnt make it professionally, he
wont consider himself a failure.
He said music will always be a
part of his life. He just doesnt
want to look back 20 years from
