Your Donations Help Us Accomplish Our Mission
Fine art is important to the cultural life of a community. In many ways, it is the soul of a place. The mission of Gallery 1516 is to provide a venue for regional artists to exhibit their work at no charge to the artist. We are not a gallery in the traditional sense; we collaborate with the Museum of Nebraska Art (MONA) and other regional museums and galleries to present traveling exhibitions and educational lectures in eastern Nebraska. We also support the arts through the organization, management and implementation of fund-raising activities.
Your donation will help Gallery 1516 fund programs, partnerships and collaborations with museums, artists, writers, musicians, and literary organizations from across the state. We are enthusiastic about the response Gallery 1516 has received since opening in October 2015 with events scheduled through through 2020 and beyond with the following organizations:
Museum of Nebraska Art (MONA), Nebraska Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), Omaha Chamber Music Society, UNO Music Department, UNO Fine Arts Department, Opera Omaha, Letter Arts Alliance, Nebraska State Historical Society, Omaha Public Schools Scholastic Art Awards, Omaha Creative Institute, Backwaters Press, Gibraltar Editions, Nebraska Literary Society, The Willa Cather Foundation, The Stalder Gallery, The Great Plains Theatre Conference, and Nebraska Shakespeare Company.
Your support will help us reach our goal and continue to provide a facility dedicated to the arts for the enrichment of Nebraska.
