Nebraska Arts Council’s annual “Office on Wheels”

Office on Wheels

Every summer, Nebraska Arts Council staff embark on a series of trips around the state to visit colleagues and find out how NAC programs are working. Conducted as informal, town-hall style meetings, these conversations allow NAC staff to collect feedback and see firsthand the enthusiasm and dedication of the statewide arts community.

It will also be a great way for Nebraska City to learn about opportunities offered by the Nebraska Arts Council.

This year, Office on Wheels will be held at:

Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts
801 Third Corso, Nebraska City, NE
Thursday, July 16
*Meeting from 2:30-4:30p (please RSVP)
*KHN Open Studios at 5:00p

RSVP: To inquire if there is still room to attend, contact our office at (402) 595-2122 or email nac.info{at}nebraska{dot}gov.
