MONA: Discover the Story Behind the Art of Nebraska

Featuring Nicole Herden, BFA, MFA, MA – Executive Director of Museum of Nebraska Art (MONA) 

Since 1986, The Museum of Nebraska Art (MONA) has housed the official art collection of the state of Nebraska, and it just keeps getting better. MONA celebrates the history of Nebraska’s visual art for diverse audiences, celebrating the work of artists who were born, lived, trained, or worked in Nebraska or who created artwork that reflects the state’s culture. Join us as MONA Director Nicole Herden takes us through the museum’s history, state connection, and eras of art in the 5,000-piece collection. We’ll take a look at the acclaimed ARTreach Program, notable artists, and more! We’ll also have time for Q&A session following the presentation.
