West Nebraska Arts Center

Gallery

It’s the LAW! The West Nebraska Arts Center with the support of the Nebraska Arts Council and the Nebraska Cultural Endowment, is pleased to present the WNAC President’s Show: LAW. The President of the West Nebraska Arts Center’s Board of Directors has chosen “LAW” as this year’s theme for the President’s Show. Artists ages 18 and older have submitted artwork that conveys an interpretation of LAW. LAW opens Tuesday, July 13 with an opening reception from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. The exhibit continues in the gallery through August 1st, Tuesday - Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. LAW is sponsored locally by Nossaman Petitt Law Firm.

“I encourage everyone to visit the gallery and see the creative directions the artists have taken the theme,” says Mason Burbach, WNAC Executive Director. “Group exhibits, like this one, tend to bring out artists who might not ordinarily show their work in a gallery, so it’s a great chance to meet new artists and see their work. It’s also fun to see the more established artists interpret a theme they wouldn’t typically work with!”

Laura Bentz, M.F.A., Associate Professor, Visual and Performing Arts Department at Chadron State College writes, "It is apparent that WNAC has fostered a diverse and creative arts community. A community in which artists can openly express their individual vision. Upon entering the LAW exhibit I was struck by the amount and the quality of the work, moreover, the many interpretations of the theme. It was difficult to make award choices. In the end I chose images that intrigued me from across the room as well as up close. I would like to recognize all the participating artists for a job well done."

The West Nebraska Arts Center is a cultural non-profit organization committed to education, awareness and excellence in the arts, serving the North Platte Valley Region. WNAC is located at 106 East 18^th Street in Scottsbluff, NE. Visit the gallery Tuesday through Friday from 9 to 5, and Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 5.

The Nebraska Arts Council, a state agency, has supported this program through its matching grants program funded by the Nebraska Legislature, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Nebraska Cultural Endowment.

("Once On This Island" and "Ragtime")
July 21, 22, 23, 24, 28, 29, 30, 31

Now one of the most performed shows in America, "SEUSSICAL" is a fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza! Tony Award winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty have lovingly brought to life our favorite Dr. Seuss characters,including Horton the Elephant, The Cat In The Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, Lazy Mazie, and a little boy with a big imagination - JoJo. "Oh, the Thinks You Can Think" captures the show's spirit of imagination, as the colorful characters transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos. This is a musical meant to appeal to all ages with powerful life lessons and values, and with endearing adult innuendos about friendship, loyalty, family and community.
