This October saw the completion of the mural repair and refresh with a new grand design! All is meant to integrate and compliment with colorful new imagery and themes. Check it out….impossible to miss this as an entry to downtown Lincoln!
Here are sequence shots of the new section, and the repairs done up high on the scaffold:
The inBEtween exhibition is a touring group show,
planned to promote unity in response to our divisive time. Artists in the group are responsible for
taking the show in their location, therefore bringing it to a wider audience,
and to include local artists and community.
In this way the message can keep reframing itself in a new and relevant
context.
This show has been presented in 2019 at the Gertrude Herbert
Institute of Art, Augusta, Georgia, and in 2020 at Studios Inc. Kansas City,
Missouri, and Constellation Studios, Lincoln, Nebraska. Alternative shows and works were shown also
in Germany and India. Exhibitions and
venues are being planned through 2021 and 2022.

immigration, Cheryl Goldsleger’s prints of migration maps, Miguel
