SPIRIT: A CELEBRATION OF ART IN THE HEARTLAND

---

The show will go on! While the social events associated with Spirit: A Celebration of Art in the Heartland 2020 will no longer take place, we are excited to announce that the Art Auction is now online!

The online auction of over 180 artworks by 64 Nebraska artists will begin at 8:00 a.m. on Friday, April 3, 2020, and conclude at 12:00 Noon on Friday, April 17, 2020. A wide variety of media and price points are available for paintings, sculpture, fiber works, ceramic pieces, and assemblages. To see the artworks just click on the artists names below, then to place a bid and make purchases go to qtego.net/qlink/mona/register.

Proceeds from the event support the artists and the exhibitions and programs of the Museum of Nebraska Art. Spirit helps enable the Museum to fulfill its mission to celebrate the history of Nebraska’s visual art for diverse audiences, and exhibit the work of artists with Nebraska ties or who created artworks that reflect the culture of Nebraska.
