Kearney's 150th
Juried Exhibition
$200 top prize
$25/entry
The Brickwalk Gallery is partnering with the Buffalo County Historical Society/Trails & Rails Museum to help celebrate Kearney’s 150th birthday by showcasing a unique art exhibition highlighting historic Kearney Nebraska.
BCHS/Trails & Rails Museum, has provided a collection of photographs by Alfred T. Anderson, which we are asking artists to create pieces based on the prints which will accompany the artwork while on display.
These photographs are A.T. Anderson’s first commission through George W. Frank’s efforts to bring early investment into Kearney in the early 1890’s. We hope this show will educate and inspire, as we continue to carry on the creativity and charm that makes Kearney a great place to live and visit.
