During five weeks in spring, the Museum of Nebraska Art (MONA) is particularly festive with artwork created by the next generation of artists. Budding artists in the Kearney Public Schools, Kearney Catholic High School, and the school districts in Buffalo County, Kearney County, and Phelps County show their work, selected by their art teachers, in MONA’s grand East Gallery.
