Narrator: The Center for Great Plains Studies
with its Great Plains Art Museum is an interdisciplinary,
educational, and cultural hub
that cultivates awareness of and engagement with
the diverse people, culture,
and natural environments of the Great Plains.
The center has been engaged in research, education,
and outreach at the University of Nebraska Lincoln
for more than 45 years.
You may know us best from the Great Plains Art Museum,
which takes up two levels of our building
in downtown Lincoln, Nebraska.
The museum organizes six to eight exhibitions each year
that express diverse voices of the plains and highlight
our permanent collection and contemporary artists.
The center and museum are focused on creating new ways
for the public and campus community
to connect to and learn about the Great Plains
through our research, lectures, exhibitions,
annual conference, books, scholarly journals,
artists and residents program, Great Plains fellows program,
and partnerships across the region.
We rely on outside support to do some of
our most popular and engaging activities,
so we encourage you to support our work
during this year's glow big red event.
