Art Club
Art Club is a student-led group that functions primarily with the goal to provide an opportunity for students to come together in a community outside of the classroom setting to engage in conversation on different ideas happening in art. When we get together, we will look at artwork, gallery exhibitions, artist interviews, or films to discuss the different ideas and visuals present in the work as well as any questions we may have for each other.
This year, Art Club wants to encourage and emphasize ‘The Art View’: Not just for Artists or Art Majors. Art is interpretive, and is up for anyone to embrace and view. So, we invite anyone to join the ever expanding exploration of art, no ‘better than stick figure drawing’ strings required. The 2023-2024 school year looks promising in that the Art Club has the opportunity to continue to hold its discussion nights, take trips to the on campus Marxhausen Gallery, and have critique nights where members can express their opinions about student work. Additionally, Art Club looks forward to the potential of holding demo/technique nights, studio talks, art workshops, and pop up art shows around campus. Going on more local Nebraska gallery visits, hosting guest artist speakers, having art sales, and taking art walks around the city of Seward are also a strong possibility. With Art Club, members have the chance to interact with varying perspectives of art through activities, and a chance to interact with a diverse group of individuals who share a similar appreciation for art. These interactions are what help build community, open mindedness, and new levels of understanding among peers.
