Theatrical costuming as art is the theme of a new exhibit opening at Utah State University's Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art. The exhibit includes the work of Utah State Theatre costume designer Nancy Hills, as well as Utah State Theatre graduate students. All museum exhibits are free and open to the public. Museum curator of education Deann Lester and collections manager Elizabeth Weninger said the costume exhibit brings the collaboration of art and theater together.
Designers are visual artists who create moving works of art.
Nancy Hills, associate professor of costume design for USU's Theatre Arts Department, and members of Bonnie Slade's internationally traveled Cache Children's Choir, join forces to present the exhibit through commentary and music at this open house reception. Light refreshments will be served. A repeat performance of this music and commentary will be presented Saturday, May 2, at 2 p.m. in the museum. This activity is part of Mother's Weekend activities at USU and a museum open house and the public is invited. Hills joined the faculty at USU in 1989.
