Five Nebraska artists have been invited to examine the familiar, upset the apple cart and present artworks that look beyond carefully laid plans. Often, best laid plans can go awry which may often be the blossom leading to the fruit of creativity. Artworks include painting, drawing, and sculpture.
The gallery reception will also feature the performing artists in the annual AppleJack Parade beginning at 1 PM on Central Avenue in Nebraska City. The gallery reception will follow the parade from 2 – 5 p.m. at the KHN Center.
Upset the Applecart will be on view from September 14 – October 30, 2015. The KHN Center is open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
