Flatlanders

Flatlanders, opening Saturday, January 16, 6-10pm, will feature a group exhibition of Darger HQ’s new artists from Nebraska, celebrate the launch of the Art Files of the Flatlanders, an online source for Nebraska’s contemporary visual arts, and the new temporary headquarters for Darger HQ in Omaha.

Flatlanders will run through February 14 and feature work by Kenny Adkins, Jennifer Bockelman, Kim Darling, Charley Friedman, Nancy Friedemann-Sanchez, Camille Hawbaker, Anthony Hawley, Qwist Joseph, Michael Ian Larsen, Craig Roper, Sarah Rowe, Luke Severson, Matthew Sontheimer, Steve Snell, Sheila Talbitzer and Ying Zhu.

Darger HQ, a not-for-profit organization, connects Nebraska contemporary artists to the world by creating collaborative working opportunities between local artists and national and international artists with related practices, and develops partnerships that benefit artists by providing new means of support through combined private and non-profit sources.  Darger HQ also educates, enriches and exposes the community to some of the most innovative contemporary art being produced today.

Darger HQ has launched its latest project, Art Files of the Flatlanders (www.flatlanders.org). Art Files of the Flatlanders provides a place for critical dialogue on the visual arts in Nebraska, as well as a calendar of visual arts events occurring throughout the state.
