NOTE: THIS EXHIBIT IS ON DISPLAY THROUGH JUNE 28TH--THE ARTIST RECEPTION IS AT MAY 23RD at 1pm in the RC CREATIVE HUB (HOTEL GARBER LOWER LEVEL) 

Regional artists Rick Houchin and David Lovekin once collaborated on an exhibit titled Presence of Absence at the Great Plains Art Museum. That photography exhibit—developed to celebrate Nebraska's sesquicentennial—depicted many of the state's small towns and the poignant echoes of a more vibrant past.

From the Place, the duo's latest exhibition now on view in the lower level of Hotel Garber, also begins there. A selection of black-and-white photographs and multimedia pieces capture town and country alike, in Nebraska and in locales like Ireland and Ranchos de Taos. 

Joining the strong photography in this exhibit are Houchin's and Lovekin's strong paintings. Ranging from subtle landscapes to vibrant abstract acrylics and Eastern-inspired ink, the artists demonstrate their skill for composition and tonal control across several mediums.

This exhibition was developed in partnership between the Red Cloud Opera House and the Red Cloud Creative District. The mission of the Red Cloud Creative District includes providing opportunities for practicing artists and diverse expression. Toward that end, artwork from this exhibit will be for sale, with proceeds supporting the artists' practice and the work of the exhibit's curatorial partners.

You can view From the Place in the Creative Hub and the Board Room in Hotel Garber's lower level; you may purchase a piece through our bookstore during business hours.

The Red Cloud Opera House and the Red Cloud Creative District receive support from the Nebraska Arts Council and Nebraska Cultural Endowment.
