SUPPORT THE ARTS LICENSE PLATE
Available for purchase NOW!
The Nebraska Arts Council is elated to announce that you may now purchase Nebraska's very first Support the Arts licesense plate!
"The Nebraska capitol building’s beautiful mosaics, largely designed by renowned artist Hildreth Meiere, inspired the mosaic design for this license plate. Mosaics only work when all the pieces fit together. When the pieces come together in the correct position, orientation, and color, only then do we see the whole picture. By using this mosaic metaphor, this license plate represents the magic when all arts are accessible to the community to create something wonderful." -- License plate artist, Danielle Dewees, Bennet, NE.
Great news, you don't have to wait until your current plates expire to upgrade to the Support the Arts license plate!! $5 alphanumeric/$40 personalized.

Virtual Event FormVirtual events are a way for arts organizations to stay in contact with their patrons. It also provides a way to reach an entirely new audience that may not have been able to participate previously, either due to distance, time or resources. The Nebraska Arts Council (NAC) is gathering information about virtual events in an effort to share these resources with other arts organizations and the public in general. If your organization is providing virtual events, please fill out the form below. All information will be gathered by NAC and a compiled list will be available at a later date. Please note, this is not an events calendar, but a resource listing for virtual events.

Winding Down Workshop Series
Winding Down is a series of webinars that will take organizations through the steps of determining whether to close, merge, or go dormant and how to wind down in a way that takes the community’s love of your organization into account. Nebraska Arts Council staff knows that this topic is difficult and sensitive, but want to help answer your questions and provide tools and strategies for these tough times. Designed for board members and staff, each session will focus on a different step in the process: first, working with your Board to come to a decision; second, planning and tackling the legal and financial side of closures, mergers, and dormancy; third, identifying the ways your mission will live on in the community.
