Master of Fine Arts show to start Monday Art League Gallery shows student, faculty art GALLERIES from Page 9 shows are non-competilive, she said. Rouintree said that, according to the Art League constitution, half of each semester must be devoted to open shows, where anyone who has works to display just has to bring them in at the posted times and, if possible, help hang the show. The next open show begins next Monday. Interested artists are asked to bring their pieces in (there is a limit of two per artists), ready to hang, between 11 a m. and 1 p.m Monday. Hangings will begin at 1 p.m., and the show will be dis played until Dec. 9. The gallery is also available for special shows featuring two or more artist, or one artist in special cases, Rouintree said. The special shows last from one to two weeks, while the open shows are usually on display for two to three weeks, she said. The Art League collectively sets a calendar at the beginning of each semester, mapping out the times for the open and special shows for the entire semester, Rouintree said. Fliers are posted in Woods and Richards Halls announcing the times to attract works for open shows, she said. The Department of Art Gallery also has a pre-determined schedule for its shows, and directors are chosen for each show, said Lisa M. Davis, an intern for the art gallery. The directors then choose what artist’s work they will pul in their shows. In addition to the under graduate show, each semester fea tures a Master of Fine Arts show, a graduate show and a masterpieces show, she said. Other shows are thematic shows by contemporary artists from around the country, according to the gallery flier. Each show at the Department of Art Gal lery runs for three to four weeks, Davis said. Their current show, which ends Friday, is called "Uncoln/Lincoln Exchange,” and features art from the faculty at the Lincolnshire Col lege of Art and Design, in Lin colnshire, England. In return, a display of UNL faculty art was sent to Lincolashire, Davis said. The MFA show will be set up Monday and will run from 5 pm. to 7 p.m. that night, Davis said. The current Art League Gallery show also ends oh Friday. It is one of the special shows, and it features the work of Davis, and Steven Hemenway. Then comes the next open show, and from Dec. 9 through Dec. 16 will be another special show featuring Michelle Tilley and Dana Legg. Davis said the works in the Department’s gallery are for sale, while Rouintree said that although interested parties could get in touch with the artists, the Art League Gal lery is not specifically intended for sales. Rouintree said that the Art League Gallery has been in Richards for four years, while the Department of Art says in their flier that their gallery was established in 1985. Further gallery information can be obtained from Rouintree or treasurer Marty Miller of the Art League, and at the Department of Art, 207 Woods Hall. How to stand out in a crowd.
