Grand Island, Neb. — The exhibition “Finding Horizons” from the Sheldon Museum of Art at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln opens at the Grand Island Public Library on January 7.
“Finding Horizons” is a collection of artworks exploring the genre of landscape. Through various techniques such as painting, printmaking and photography, this group of artists have been brought together for their strong use of horizon lines.
From the realistic to the abstract, the horizon lines in this exhibition give us footing within these compositions, allowing us to share the perspective of the artist and consider the worlds they have created. This exhibition features artwork from artists such as Russell T. Gordon, John Pfahl, Manuel Álvarez Bravo and Thelma Lorie Christenson among others.
“Finding Horizons” will be on display through February 5 and is part of the Sheldon Statewide program. Sheldon Statewide is an annual program that was first started in 1987 with the purpose of sharing the collection of the Sheldon Museum of Art with the people of Nebraska. During the 2024-2025 school year, “Finding Horizons” will visit eight different venues and will be seen by thousands of people.
The communities “Finding Horizons” will be visiting include Chadron, North Platte, McCook, Grand Island, York, Beatrice, Fremont and Falls City. Kim West Dinsdale generously provided funding for the Grand Island portion in partnership with the Grand Island Public Library Foundation.
