Home School Program
The spring Home School Art Program consists of one class once a month. Classes are designed to be interactive lessons that encourage students to examine objects and ideas. Over these monthly sessions, students develop a theme for a project through a variety of sequential activities including drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, and discussion.

Thursdays: February 20, March 19, April 16
For information on the next session of the Home School Art Program, contact the Museum at (308) 865-8559.

Jennifer Homan: Nebraska's Boundless Skies
Wednesday, February 26 • 2:00 p.m.
Jennifer Homan's pure pastel pigments eulogize the spectacular power, scale and moods of Nebraska's boundless skies, and the land that's moored beneath them. The emotional force inspiring Homan's work is the beauty of the Nebraska landscape combined with the precipitating consequences of humankind’s presence. Her paintings are factual documentary records of interrupted horizons, or suffused spots of electric light, diminished by vast open spaces and the sweeping intensity of palpable pigmented skies.

Jennifer Homan has a BA in painting from Colorado State University and is a member of the Pastel Society of America. Homan’s work is exhibited and collected nationally. MONA has one painting in the permanent collection.

To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment, which assured the right to vote could not be denied or abridged based on gender, MONA’s 2020 Collection Connection presentations will focus primarily on the work of women artists, past and present. These presentations by regional experts are free and open to the public.

Nebraska was the 14th state to ratify the 19th Amendment in 1919. By August of 1920, 36 states ratified the amendment, ensuring that across the country, the right to vote could not be denied or abridged based on sex.
