Congratulations to the River Point Creative District on the opening of ArtWorks!

It's all coming together! Join us for the ArtWorks Soft Opening this Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Stop by to tour the studio, meet some of our gallery artists, and explore the variety of unique artwork for sale. We can't wait to share what we've been creating. See you Saturday!

We are excited to share that the 2026 posters from the Creative Districts of Nebraska Series are completed and ready for purchase. This year’s Creative District posters highlight the Creative Districts of:

Alliance, artist: Bailey Johnson
Dundee, artist: Drew Davies
Grand Island, artist: JC Hochstetler
Kearney, artist: Bobbi Dickerson

The two At-large posters, not directly tied to a Creative District were created by Jennifer Homan and Karen Kunc.

This series is in partnership with Flatwater Free Press. Artists were selected from highlighted districts to create an original artwork that celebrates the distinct cultural identities that make their communities truly special.
