Bonus Activity at the Nebrask Dance Summit: Jean Welstead Memorial Scholarship Show
At the Nebraska Dance Summit post-event reception, Gallery 92 West is exhibiting the works of Jean Welstead in the Hinds Gallery.

Jean Welstead was one of the Fremont Area Arts Association’s founding members. Early this year, Marv Welstead generously donated the remaining collection of his wife’s artwork to be auctioned at Gallery 92 West. All of the proceeds from the sale will go toward an Art Scholarship in honor of Jean Welstead. Silent auction style bidding started July 8th and will continue throughout the month.

Here are two simple ways for you to support our activities when you shop or eat - at no cost to you! Every purchase you make at participating businesses returns 5% to help advocate for the arts in Nebraska.
