Neb. - A variety of work by artists from throughout the United States will be featured when the Fred Wells 24 National Juried Exhibition opens Wednesday, March 22, at Nebraska Wesleyan University's Elder Gallery. The show will run through April 20. A public reception is scheduled for Sunday, March 26, from 2 to 4 p.m. Elder Gallery is located in the Rogers Center for Fine Arts, 50th Street and Huntington Avenue.
All exhibits are free and open to the public.
The show is named after the late Fred Wells, a civic leader who volunteered his services to many Lincoln arts organizations, including the Lincoln and Nebraska Wesleyan Art Councils. Because of that, it brings to the state the work of artists from throughout the country who are doing relatively new things. N.M. Milligan is an assistant professor in the Department of Arts and Letters at the University of New Mexico-Gallup Campus, and a professional artist and illustrator. Awards will be announced during the reception on March 26.
