Willa Cather & the Farm Novel Tradition
Willa Cather's early novels depicting farm life explore both her memories of Nebraska and a nation grappling with rapid urbanization. In this lecture, Tracy Sanford Tucker, the director of Collections and Curation at the National Willa Cather Center, will explore Cather's complicated relationship with farm life and her place within the 20th century farm fiction genre, and will provide book recommendations about regional farm literature.

An Evening With Willa Cather
“The end is nothing, the road is all.” – Willa Cather, Old Mrs. Harris
Visual Antithesis
The Red Cloud Opera House is proud to welcome Kearney artist Daniel Garringer to our gallery in March! Garringer's acrylic paintings capture the fleeting details of a rural life on a large scale: towels snapping on the line, the sunken face of a jack-o-lantern in November, the active decay of old paint. This exhibit encourages the viewer to reflect on the beauty and ephemeral nature of the ordinary.
