“Raw” gallery houses edgy grad student art
The name fits perfectly.
Kayleigh Speck and a group of MFA art students at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln wanted a unique way to showcase their work. But organizing an open house and calling it good wasn’t enough.
No, Speck and her buddies wanted something bigger, better, hipper.
They found their answer downtown in an old vacant building - the new home for their art. It was old and rundown and came at a price, but it was worth it.
The artists renovated the interior and prepared to feature their crafts inside, but the show needed a name, something that would encompass the artists’ different styles while still tying a loose theme around the event.
Hence the title “Raw” came forth. With everything in place, Speck and her fellow students will showcase their work this Friday from 6 p.m.
