Governor’s Residence Gallery

 

The Governor’s Residence Exhibition program was started in 1992 by then Nebraska First Lady Diane Nelson in collaboration with Nebraska Arts Council. Since then, we have shown the work of hundreds of Nebraskan artists, including high school artists participating in the annual Scholastic Art program.

This exhibition space allows visitors to acknowledge and appreciate the diversity of statewide artistic talent. Hundreds of visitors often include school or group tours, state agency or similar meetings, events and gatherings, and dignitary visits from other states and countries. There are occasions where this building is one of the few places visitors see of Nebraska, and this is a chance to share Nebraska’s visuals and stories with them.

Please note that all gallery visits must be scheduled in advance through the Governor’s Residence.
