Artist Chuck Schroeder has had “a checkered career!” From ranching, roping, judging livestock shows and raising good horses, to leadership positions in politics, industry, art, Western culture and higher education, he has engaged with people from U.S. presidents and CEO’s to cowboys, scientists, artists and guitar pickers from around the world. His life is now focused on creating a legacy of drawings and paintings reflecting his respect for those people and places whose character, ground and honed over time, can provide guidance and inspiration for generations to come.

November First Friday Exhibition: Make “Nothing”

UNL | College of Architecture | 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.

210 Architecture Hall

Art Chapel – 1302 F Street

Make “Nothing” is an exhibition of design proposals for the Art Chapel by graduate students at UNL’s College of Architecture. The project is conceived as a community art studio that will provide art programs for adults in the south of downtown neighborhoods, an economically depressed area with few cultural outlets.

Student projects are gathered under the theme of Make “Nothing” and explore architecture’s ability to disarm the viewer through apparent simplicity.

The Art Chapel will be developed through the design-build process of an academic and community-driven collaboration and coordinated through PLAIN-FACT by CoA faculty Jason Griffiths and Jeffery L. Day. The project is planned for construction in 2020-2021 and funded through private donors and grants.

1. Opening: Nov 1, 2019 at 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM

THE KILLIGANS were born in a filthy garage in 2004, hammered together out of the spare parts of other Nebraska bands and fueled by a love of good whiskey, great friends, late nights, buzzing tattoo needles and crusty old punk rock albums. They have existed in various incarnations since their inception, but as their rabid fans will testify, they have never failed to ignite the passions of anyone who wanders close enough to hear their foot-stomping, glass-raising anthems for tenacious underdogs, lonely vagabonds, and anyone who’s just trying to make it in this world.
