Art instructors exhibit during summer

Several works by Mark Hartman are currently featured in the Museum of Nebraska Art exhibition Pushing Paint. The show will run through September 20, 2009. The Museum described this exhibition as being “comprised of a handful of artists who are true ‘painter’s painters.’” The invitational exhibition, which began on May 23rd, highlights the work of a select group of non-representational artists from Nebraska.

Derrick Burbul’s photo exhibition, Road Through Nowhere, was displayed at the Governor’s Residence Exhibition in Lincoln, Nebraska from July 29–August 28, 2009. Earlier this year, that exhibition was displayed in the Walker Art Gallery on the UNK campus. The photograph, Sign to Nowhere, was exhibited last spring in the exhibition, Something About Nothing, at the Kuhn Fine Arts Gallery at The Ohio State University at Marion, Marion, Ohio.
