[00:00:07.004]On the edge of the Nebraska sand hills,
[00:00:09.214]science and art merge.
[00:00:11.695]A height of 62 and a half centimeters.
[00:00:13.603]Cedar Point is a research station
[00:00:15.355]and classroom for the University of Nebraska
[00:00:17.666]School of Biological Sciences.
[00:00:20.311]It's also a place to create art.
[00:00:23.793]Fine arts major Hannah Demma
[00:00:25.474]took a summer class at Cedar pOint.
[00:00:27.806]The very best thing is that focused time
[00:00:29.929]to make work, so having two weeks
[00:00:31.812]where we were hyper focused on what we were doing
[00:00:34.133]and we had this really collaborative community,
[00:00:37.162]it was just an incredible experience.
[00:00:39.733]Hannah's professor,
[00:00:40.576]Karen Kunc, says science and art have a lot in common.
[00:00:44.199]That kind of obsession to get into something
[00:00:47.026]really deeply and ask questions
[00:00:49.767]and follow leads, it's the same kind of research path
[00:00:54.059]that the scientists and artists do follow.
[00:00:57.423]The Art at Cedar Point Project
[00:00:59.209]also offers an Artist in Residence program
[00:01:02.164]and a collaboration with Ogallala Public Schools.
[00:01:05.933]University students develop
[00:01:07.702]and lead art adventure camps for kids.
[00:01:10.852]We did clay day and we've made clay from natural sources
[00:01:14.504]around Cedar Point
[00:01:16.246]and the kids like came alive, oh my gosh.
[00:01:19.899]The lessons that the art students came up with
[00:01:23.421]to teach from allowed them to see
[00:01:25.943]their environment in a new way.
[00:01:28.484]From art and the humanities
[00:01:30.893]to music and theater,
[00:01:32.401]the University of Nebraska reaches out
[00:01:34.226]to the community.
[00:01:35.834]Dr. Kunc extends her reach at Cedar Point
[00:01:38.546]and at her Lincoln studio
[00:01:40.330]where she offers exhibits and classes.
[00:01:43.432]It's very important to have this broader scope
[00:01:46.724]and outreach that the university can have.
[00:01:49.379]Cedar Point is a wonderful anchor,
[00:01:51.366]so to have the university have a presence
[00:01:54.889]and to show the research and engagement
[00:01:58.251]and activity and kind of enthusiasm
[00:02:00.890]that all the faculty and students have
[00:02:02.677]when they're in this space
[00:02:04.007]is really a great representation of our mission.
