Since Jan. 16, the UNO Art Department has hosted the Faculty Art Show, which features work by both full and part-time from the Department of Art and Art History in the UNO College of Communication, Fine Arts and Media.

The entire collection is made up of different forms of artwork and varied canvas. For instance, David Helm, chairperson of Art and Art History, created an untitled piece made from pouring a latex rubber mix into cheesecloth.

Justin Shaw used wood, fiberglass and fabric to put together a piece titled "Plaid Rhino."

Retired professor Tom Majeski contributed "Ashland," a dimensional monoprint he created in 2007, for the showing.

The Faculty Art Show is on display at the UNO Art Gallery, located on the first floor of the Weber Fine Arts Building. This exhibit is free and open to the public, and will run through Feb. 18. Stop by the Art Gallery Tuesday through Friday from noon until 4 p.m. to see this collection.
