Past Exhibitions

MONA’s ARTreach program provides exhibitions to various communities throughout Nebraska, and occasionally beyond. The modest fee includes delivery to the exhibition venue, installation of the show, promotional and educational materials that supplement the exhibition’s theme, and return to MONA after the exhibition’s close. With professional assistance in managing the exhibition each step of the way, ARTreach exhibitions share MONA’s collection with a variety of locales. To learn more about ARTreach, including these and other exhibitions, please contact, ARTreach Coordinator: Russ Erpelding or call (308) 865-8559.

Listing begins with recent exhibitions and continues back three years.
