Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery

Twelve social-service organizations occupy Sheldon galleries June 7 to 23, presenting their values, mission, and dreams.

Jazz in June has become more than just a tradition. It's a summer standard. The free Tuesday evening series is one of Lincoln's summer delights. Enjoy the Jazz in June Market at 12th & R Streets, then stroll onto the University of Nebraska–Lincoln campus to listen to great jazz. This season features the Kendra Shank Quartet, Valerie Capers Ensemble, Angela Hagenbach, and Jackie Allen.

The Kinection Project connects contemporary technology and modern art. Through the use of gesture-detection software, the installation allows participants to create an action painting reminiscent of Jackson Pollock’s famous drip canvases of the 1950s. As you move your hands, creating strokes and dripping and spattering paint, you will transform the canvas into a personal work of art. Kinection was developed by UNL Assistant Professor of Computer Science Anita Sarma and a team including Megan Jensen, Luan Pham, Ben Purucker, and James Sukup.
