The Great Plains Art Museum is open late for Lincoln’s First Friday Art Walk on May 6, 5-7 p.m. and we’re launching a brand new T-shirt design featuring endangered animals of the Great Plains!
For the newest T-shirt celebrating the Great Plains (and available at the Great Plains Art Museum), we’re highlighting several of the Plains’ endangered species. A portion of every shirt sold will go to Spring Creek Prairie Audubon Center for wildlife and habitat conservation efforts. Available for purchase in-store only at the Great Plains Art Museum starting May 6. Available through our online store after May 9.
Featured species: Black-footed Ferret, Salt Creek tiger beetle, Western fringed prairie orchid, interior least tern, blowout penstemon, and pallid sturgeon.
Also on view:
"Contemporary Indigeneity 2022"
April 1–Aug. 20, 2022
The fourth iteration of this group show will feature work by 28 artists from across the Great Plains who address the contemporary Native American experience in the region.
"Star Body, Star Breath"
March 4–August 6, 2022
"Star Body, Star Breath" features new and recent work by Sarah Rowe, the museum’s 2022 Elizabeth Rubendall Artist in Residence. Rowe is an Omaha-based multimedia artist of Lakota and Ponca descent whose work opens cross-cultural dialogues by utilizing methods of painting, casting, fiber arts, performance, and Native American ceremony in unconventional ways. Her work is participatory, a call to action, and re-imagines traditional Native American symbology to fit the narrative of today’s global landscape.
