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.
The Artistic Nebraska Odyssey of Linda Rivera Garcia
“Life is best when there is a way to express myself without words. It was so satisfying when I discovered that paint, form, and content were all I needed to share the story of a life lived as a Chicana . . . . My art reflects a life-long quest exploring symbolism, indigenous tradition, and the use of materials and methods which I then interpret into contemporary forms of expression.” My themes reflect the memories of being a farm-girl, of being a person of color living, working, and raising a family in Nebraska. . . . .
Webster County Memories
We look forward to welcoming Karen Thurlow to the Red Cloud Opera House gallery for our final exhibition of the year! Born in Red Cloud and raised in rural Webster County, Karen is a graduate of Bladen High School. With this exhibit, she recreates Webster County memories based on family photographs and local buildings, rendered in her distinctive impressionistic style and vibrant color palette.
