Elmwood Cultural Learning Center

Calling all artists in the Elmwood-Murdock Area!!

June 14, 2023 from 6:00 - 8:00 pm

Please come to this meeting Wednesday night June 14th and talk ART! The Nebraska Arts Council wants to know about art in Elmwood.

Remember, art is more than drawing or painting. Art is wood carving, furniture building, sculpting, baking, decorating, singing, acting, storytelling, quilting, sewing, crocheting, and so much more! What gets your creative juices flowing? Come and learn about the Nebraska Arts Council and see what they can do for Elmwood. You don't even have to be an artist to come and participate. Just being an art lover qualifies you! And there will be snacks! No doubt made by a culinary artist!

And exciting news about the Elmwood Cultural Arts & Learning Center continues:
The Nebraska Arts Council has chosen us, the Elmwood Cultural Arts & Learning Center, as one of the sites to host a Listening Forum to learn about local artists and assess area need and enthusiasm for the arts during the forum.

The Nebraska Arts Council aspires to positively impact lives of Nebraskans through the power of art by providing programming, grants, and opportunities to foster creative innovation statewide.
What a great opportunity for our community!

Please help us share news of this event scheduled for Wednesday, June 14, from 6 – 7 p.m. The attached flyer highlights all the details. Share the flyer with artists and arts enthusiasts so we can fill the Learning Center and showcase that our facility/community is THE perfect partner for the Arts Council! We can do this!
