The Brickwalk Venues
Bringing Local Art Into the Places Kearney Lives, Works & Gathers
The Brickwalk Project believes art should be part of everyday life—not limited to galleries or special events.
Brickwalk Venues connects local artists with businesses throughout the Kearney community, creating opportunities for original artwork to be seen and enjoyed in the places people already visit every day.
Restaurants, coffee shops, offices, boutiques, salons, professional spaces and other local businesses can become Brickwalk Venues by opening their walls to rotating displays of artwork created by artists from our community and surrounding area.
Together, we're creating more places for people to experience art while supporting the artists and businesses that make Kearney unique.
What Is a Brickwalk Venue?
A Brickwalk Venue is a participating Kearney-area business that partners with The Brickwalk Project to display original local artwork within its space.
Rather than creating a traditional gallery environment, the program brings art directly into the community—giving artists greater visibility while allowing businesses to add something unique, creative and locally connected to their spaces.
How It Works
Choose Artwork That Fits Your Space
Participating businesses can select from available artwork curated through The Brickwalk Project. We work with you to find pieces that complement your space, customers and overall atmosphere.
We Help Coordinate the Display
The Brickwalk Project works with the artist and venue to coordinate placement and rotation of the artwork. When appropriate, displayed pieces may include information about the artist and a QR code allowing visitors to learn more about the work or purchase available pieces.
Connect Visitors With Local Art
Brickwalk Venues become part of a growing network of places throughout Kearney where people can discover original artwork. Through our website, social media and other promotional efforts, we'll encourage people to explore participating venues and the artists featured within them.
Keep It Fresh
Artwork can rotate approximately every three months, giving businesses a changing display while creating ongoing opportunities for different artists to share their work with the community.

More Art. More Places. More Community.
A vibrant arts community isn't created in one building or one part of town. It happens when artists, businesses and community members all participate.
Our goal is to build a network of Brickwalk Venues throughout Kearney, creating unexpected places to discover art and more opportunities for local artists to have their work seen.
Whether you have one great wall or an entire space that could showcase artwork, we'd love to explore what becoming a Brickwalk Venue could look like for your business.
