Art Gallery
The Red Cloud Opera House Gallery serves as a venue for local, regional, and national artists to display their works throughout the year. In addition, the Willa Cather Foundation also schedules traveling arts, humanities, and cultural exhibitions periodically.
Driving American Myths
University of Nebraska-Kearney professor of art foundations, photography, and design Derrick Burbul closes out our summer gallery roster with selections from his Myths of the West series. Join us on Friday, September 5, at 5:00 p.m. for a free artist reception!
Prairie Echos: Eco-Printing with Nature
We look forward to welcoming Kansas artist Laura Mead and her dream-like botanical prints to the Red Cloud Opera House Gallery this autumn. The works on display, whether printed on paper, polymer clay, or silk, are more than just a representation of the prairie; instead, they are created by and with native prairie plants that are grown and hand-selected for use by the artist, on her own acreage.
Botanical Print Workshop
Kansas artist Laura Mead will teach the secrets of botanical printing on textiles during a 1-day workshop. Participants will partake in plant selection at the Willa Cather Memorial Prairie and learn the techniques that Mead uses to create her beautiful artwork.
