Nebraska Arts Council launched a Creative District Poster Series with Flatwater Free Press in 2024. Artists were selected from highlighted districts to create an original artwork that celebrates the distinct cultural identities that make their communities truly special.
2024 posters for sale are: Ashland, Benson, McCook, Columbus, and Lincoln.
2025 posters for sale are: Chadron, Omaha, and Norfolk.
This year, two additional artworks were added to the project that celebrate Nebraska but are not tied to a Creative District. These works are created by Reyna Hernandez and Sarah Rowe.
