A Photographer’s Journey with
Whooping Cranes
featuring the work of

Michael Forsberg 

January 9 – Feb 1  Fridays – Sundays, noon to 5pm.  A public reception will be from 5-8 p.m Friday, January 16.  The show is one product of  photographer and Lincoln native Mike Forsberg’s five-year effort to intimately document this mythical, tallest bird in North America. A companion to the recent self-published book “Into Whooperland” the exhibitincludes large prints, most of them never printed before. Forsberg will be on hand for a public reception Friday, January 16 from 5-8 p.m.   Much more than a book on the wall, the display lets viewers follow the whoopers’ and Forsberg’s journey through a unique 360 goggle viewing experience flying the “Whooper Highway.” Map spreads, timelapse grids and tiled panels, remote cameras, a blind setup Mike used for fieldwork, and aerial imagery of the 2,500 mile migratory path from pilot and fellow photographer Chris Boyer presented on a large flatscreen create an immersive experience. Forsberg notes, “I’m glad to present this exhibit first at WallSpace-LNK. We look forward to seeing you. Long live cranes.”   Limited numbers of signed copies of “Into Whooperland,” the book created in a small journal style, are available for sale. The title has nearly sold out of its first print run. Individual photographic prints will be for sale upon request.  (All images – copyright Michael Forsberg) 1624 S 17th St, Lincoln, NE 68502 Parking out front or in the gravel lot north of Conner’s Antiques.

featuring wide-ranging works by 
Eddie Dominguez
UNL art professor emeritus

Open from Dec 5 – 28, 1-5pm.

“Gemstones,” an installation of large multi-colored ceramic spheres is among the pieces never before exhibited. Dominguez notes, “I’ve been working for many years on this piece and this will be the first time I get to present it.” Other favorite works haven’t been shown previously because the artist was not sure he could part with them.

Drawings, prints, photographs, and collages expand viewers’ appreciation of the creative output of an artist whom most may know for his ceramics.

 “Past and Present” is available for viewing and purchase Friday-Sunday, 12-5 p.m., from December 5-28 or by appointment. 

The exhibit is supported in part by the Nebraska Arts Council, the Nebraska Cultural Endowment, and contributors to the non-profit WallSpace for Artists and Audiences.

portraits and landscapes by 

Chuck Schroeder

opens on Saturday and Sunday, November 1 & 2.

A First Friday public reception on Nov. 7 from 5-8 p.m. will feature the artist.

Paintings are also available for viewing and purchase Friday-Sunday, 12-5 from November 1 – 30 or by appointment (contact chuck@schroederfineart.com). 

Schroeder notes, “This is a collection of portraits and landscapes, from finished works to the quick studies I do in preparation for larger, more complex drawings and paintings.” The works reflect travels and relationships formed from Nebraska, Wyoming and South Dakota, to Scotland, Italy and the Netherlands. A special collection of illustrations were completed recently for “When Scrooge Stole Drawing”, a poem by New Mexico artist, Rebekah Powers, to be published in December. A group of holiday cards and prints are available for purchase.

Since 2018, Chuck Schroeder has been dedicated to the life of an artist, after an adventurous career as CEO of major industry and cultural organizations, a competitive horseman, rancher, livestock judge, politician, fund raiser, fist shaking activist, and founder of several organizations championing the interests of rural people and communities. After many years of instruction and mentoring with recognized artists in the Taos, NM, community, his work in this chapter of life reflects the beautiful character of people, horses and places he encounters globally.

Schroeder’s work has been featured in more than a dozen one-man shows over the last six years. Private collectors in a dozen US states have acquired his drawings and paintings through gallery purchases and commissions.

The exhibit is supported in part by the Nebraska Arts Council, the Nebraska Cultural Endowment, and contributors to the non-profit WallSpace for Artists and Audiences. 

paintings by Robin Smith

The exhibit is open Fridays-Sundays, 12-5 p.m. October 3-26.

Smith’s vibrant still life paintings make common objects a joy to behold. Scenes and skies from Nebraska’s Pine Ridge and the West Coast offer a compelling, different view of Smith’s painting prowess.

His scenic paintings reflect a lifetime of personal experience.  “Growing up on Cape Cod gave me a sense of the vastness of the landscape.” 

A former Chadron State College faculty member, Smith studied painting at the Skowhegan School and the University of Massachusetts before the MFA program at UN-L. He went on to earn a doctorate in visual ethnography from Arizona State. 

Robin Smith’s work has been shown at the Nelson-Atkins Museum in Kansas City, the Museum of Nebraska Art in Kearney, the Sheldon Museum of Art and other regional museums and galleries. His paintings are part of many private collections and are held by MONA and Sheldon.

The exhibit is supported in part by the Nebraska Arts Council, the Nebraska Cultural Endowment, and contributors to the non-profit WallSpace for Artists and Audiences.
