  • Exhibitions (January 18–July 14)
    Exhibitions (January 18–July 14): Sheldon Treasures th Stuart Davis: Arch Hotel (closing May 5 ) Table Manners: Art and Food John Walker: Moments of Observation Spring 2019 Quick Guides Sheldon Treasures Introductory Label Sheldon Museum of Art is home to two collections of art. In addition to objects acquired by the University of Nebraska, the museum stewards a collection assembled by the Sheldon Art Association, an organization founded in 1888 as the Haydon Art Club to promote the fine arts in Nebraska. Together, the collections comprise holdings of nearly 13,000 original works of art in various media. Each collection includes unparalleled treasures. Some are unique masterworks by renowned artists; others are beloved favorites of museum visitors. Many have traveled great distances to be seen in national and international exhibitions. This gallery presents a selection of such objects, a testament to the wisdom and foresight of Sheldon’s leaders and advocates who have assembled these works for the benefit of future generations. Ideas to Explore with Students • Abstract vs. representational art • History of Sheldon Museum of Art • The museum’s role in the community • What makes a “treasure?” • The role of the curator: If you were a curator, what choices would you make? • The context (historical, social, cultural) of art • Representations of the human body • Introspection: How do artists give the impression of someone lost in thought? • The African American experience throughout history • The lack of representation of women and African Americans in the art world, including museums: Why is it important that this gallery include works by and about women and people of color? • Art and politics Helpful to Know • The thumbnail images from treasure labels will be available as laminates for docent tours • Both Barkley Hendricks and Robert Indiana passed away in 2018.

  • Chancellor's State of the U Address Is Sept. 11
    One year to go Construction of Lincoln’s Pinnacle Bank Arena — the future home to Husker men’s and women’s bas- ketball — is a little more than one year away from a September 2013 completion deadline. During an Aug. 17 media tour of the arena, Bob Caldwell of Hampton Construction reported that construction is slightly ahead of schedule and on budget. This composite image shows work inside the $179 million project. Workers started to move roof trusses (top right) into place earlier this month. This image shows how seating will be in a horseshoe configuration with the open end to the north (left). The arena will seat nearly 16,000.
