Sheldon Art Gallery celebrates
25th year of art and culture
Twenty-five years ago, the Green Bay
Packers were NFL champions, Presi
dent Kennedy was worried about Cuba,
and only the most chronic of University
of Nebraska-Lincoln students had been
bom.
It was also 25 years ago that the
Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery opened
at the southwest corner of the UNL
campus.
Since then, Sheldon has become one
of the most prominent art galleries in
the Midwest, drawing praise from both
coasts and abroad.
The gallery contains hundreds of
paintings, sculptures and mixed media
works, covering several rooms and two
stories.
The Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery
fulfills its mission to “reflect and
document the visual arts of these
United States” by continually featuring
vorks by prominent local and nationally
renowned artists. The gallery often has
solo exhibitions of notable artists along
with its regular collection.
On display until Sept. 13 is an
exhibition by Scottsbluff artist Audrey
Towater. Twenty of her Nebraska-in
spired “impressionistic action” paint
ings will be at the gallery, among them,
“Bob Devaney,” "Nebraska Supreme
Court,” “Elephant Hall,” "Senators in
Action” and "Orange Bowl.”
Towater will have a reception Sept.
12 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the
Sheldon Art Gallery.
An important part of the art gallery
is its sculpture garden, located just
south and west of the building. Like
the art gallery, the sculpture garden
features work by local and national
artists.
In addition to its permanent collec
tion, the garden is currently displaying
three large-scale sculptures by Buena
Vista College art professor Mac Horn
ecker. Entitled “Post,” “Hitch,” and
“Crib,” these works represent memories
of the artist’s “experiences on the
farms of the heartlands of America”
During the school year, the gallery is
open from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday, 10
a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday,
7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday through
Saturday and closed Monday.
For more information on these or
other current or upcoming exhibits
