HINDS GALLERY, AND Introducing the WEST GALLERY:
Doing our pART...
We are pleased to introduce the new WEST Gallery with this inaugural exhibit of select Nebraska Artists. Also showing in the renovated Hinds Gallery, this show features work by well-known and highly regarded artists who, now or at one time, called Nebraska "Home."
Our community, our state, was devastated this spring by a record-breaking flood. We feel this exhibit is one of the things we, as an Arts organization, can do to show our support of the community.
In addition to providing a cultural uplift, the "art part" of disaster recovery is to remind citizens that they are not just victims. Art has the power to restore some of the wholeness to psyches and souls shaken by disaster. It can allow us to enjoy ourselves and remind us that our lives are bigger than what we've undergone. The arts do something nothing else does: Art offers refuge from the stresses of the rest of the world; it comforts us in grief and energizes us in celebration; Art is powerful glue that can hold us all together in adversity. Our Artists are Nebraska Strong!

DUGAN GALLERY: ART...Work in Progress
ART...Work In Progress, our annual Themed and Juried Show is featured in the Dugan Gallery.
Left open to each artist’s interpretation, the exhibit was open beyond our membership, and all media were encouraged. The actual understanding, representation and execution of artwork fitting that theme was purposely left wide open. Each entry was submitted with a brief written explanation of the work’s relevance to the theme. Those musings are hanging with each artwork, and were considered in the judging process.
The Judge for the competition is Laura Huntimer, Director of School Programs and Interactive Media at Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha. Cash Prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place will be awarded during the Reception on August 9th. Gallery guests can cast their vote for the Viewers’ Choice Best of Show award through August 24th. That winner will be announced during the Live Auction at the Annual Gala on Saturday, August 24th
