The chant.
The team.
The energy.
The art.

Sheldon Museum of Art at the University of Nebraska presents GO BIG RED, an exhibition that considers various ways of looking at the power of red—the school color chosen by students in 1892.

Each artwork was selected from the museum’s collection by a member of the university community, which stretches from the campus to the city, to the state, and beyond. The selected works span history, genres, styles, and media, just as the participants and their reflections represent the distinctive individuals who have come together to realize this exhibition.
