"ART 1"

In 1970, Nash then of the University of Minnesota and Richard H. Williams then of the University of New Mexico and later the University of Minnesota published "Computer Program for Artists: ART 1". The authors described three approaches an artist might take to use computers in art::*The artist can become a programmer or software engineer:*Artists and software engineers can cooperate, or:*The artist can use existing software. At that time, "ART 1" existed and she chose this path. [cite journal|author=Nash, Katherine|coauthors=Richard H.

Galleries

In 1957 Nash was acting director of the University Gallery in Northrop Auditorium that became the Weisman Art Museum across Washington Avenue. From 1961–1976, Nash was professor of sculpture in the University of Minnesota Studio Arts Department, now the Department of Art, where she was known as Katy.

Nash lobbied the university for student exhibition space and in 1979 a gallery was founded in Willey Hall and administered by the student union. In 1992 the Department of Art became its supervisor and in 2003 moved the gallery to the Regis Center for Art.
