"Kristine Allphin: Cultivate" March 20 - September 6, 2026

Early in her contemplation of the theme, exhibition artist Kristine Allphin wrote, “It’s amazing how we move from moment to moment and are always changing... The abundance we enjoy was cultivated in the past, and all the rewards we find in the future are cultivated today.”

Join us TOMORROW Sunday, March 22nd, 1-3pm, for an opening reception celebrating the opening of "Kristine Allphin: Cultivate" and "John Spence: Cowboys and Indians". This event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. We are also excited to announce that both artists will attend as guests of honor. We hope to see you there!

NOW OPEN:
"John Spence: Cowboys and Indians" March 20 - August 23, 2026

Works of fabricated and found assemblages done in vibrant colors and familiar imagery will fill Gallery III. The conflicts of Westward expansion are presented in this collection with simultaneous attitudes of sincerity and wit.

“This exploration may include glorification or celebration on either side of a conflict situation. Who is telling the story and from what point of view? Please bear in mind that humor and playfulness are meaningful ingredients in any serious inquiry.”

"Once again, the 2026 Passport features 70 stops divided into 10 themed tours. Travelers will have from May 1 to September 30 to visit the attractions and collect their stamps. Passporters earn prizes based on the number of stamps they collect.

This year’s themed tours include a tribute to historical stops in honor of America’s 250th, adventurous outdoor stops to get the whole family moving, businesses located in Nebraska’s picturesque downtowns, and, of course, plenty of unique spots for food and drink."
