When you visit, don't miss the BA Capstone exhibition, Gestalt: the way things have been put together, in the Regis West Gallery. Gallery hours: Tuesday – Saturday, 11:00 am - 5:00 pm.
The Department of Art at the University of Minnesota is pleased to present Counterpoint, a group exhibition of twenty artists about to complete their Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees in the Department of Art at the University of Minnesota. Rooted in music, a counterpoint is a composition of more than one voice, with each voice being equally important. Rather than creating a singular melody, Counterpoint showcases harmonies of convergence and contrast within the works of Briannon Anglum, Kathryn Blommel, Gabby Bowen, Laura Dierks, Grace Dinzeo, Jack Drummond, Kathryn Foley, Franny Haight, Nora Hitchcock, Andrew Huckenpoehler, Kira Knochenmus, Nick Kontz, Denise Lau, Ella Leidy, Ian Mckenna, Jeanette Riemermann, Guanjian She, Murphey Stromberg, Grace Theriot, and Ava Weinreis.
Please note: This exhibition includes nudity.
The Katherine E. Nash Gallery spans 5,000 square feet for the presentation of exhibitions and related programming that engage with a wide range of artists, scholars, and collaborative partners.

Mission
The Katherine E. Nash Gallery is a research laboratory for the practice and interpretation of the visual arts.
Vision
We believe the visual arts have the capacity to interpret, critique, and expand on all of human experience. Our engagement with the visual arts helps us to discover who we are and understand our relationships to each other and society.
The Katherine E. Nash Gallery will be a center of discourse on the practice of visual art and its relationship to culture and community — a place where we examine our assumptions about the past and suggest possibilities for the future.
The Nash Gallery will play an indispensable role in the educational development of students, faculty, staff, and the community.
History
Professor Katherine "Katy" E. Nash (1910–1982), a faculty member of the Department of Art from 1961–1976, proposed that the Student Union create a university art gallery. Founded in 1979, the gallery moved to its current location in the Regis Center for Art in 2003. Learn more about the remarkable life and work of Professor Nash.
