- HN & NAC Poster Project -
| |
Nebraska has a long history of circulating posters encouraging social action, particularly during years of intense change. Recognizing that 2020 is also a year of change, History Nebraska (HN), in partnership with the Nebraska Arts Council (NAC), invited ten Nebraska artists to continue this tradition.
Using historic posters from History Nebraska’s collection as inspiration, artists created their own posters to address today’s themes, including (but not limited to) COVID-19, economic hardship, equality, racial injustice, and voter participation. Below, you will find their posters and descriptions of their work.
Each poster is available for sale at the Nebraska History Museum in Lincoln for $35. A portion of each sale goes directly to the artists. Visit today and support Nebraska artists!
