Back to the Bohemian Alps is the title of June’s exhibition at WallSpace-LNK. A few years ago, these large-scale color photographs made in parts of Butler, Saunders and Lancaster Counties were featured in a very popular exhibition at the Great Plains Art Museum. We’re bringing them back due to the many requests from gallery visitors.

The Bohemian Alps is a region of gently rolling loess hills that sits like an overturned shallow basket on the table of eastern Nebraska between the Platte River to the north and the capital city of Lincoln’s salt flats to the south, David City to the west and Wahoo to the east. A visitor driving the gravel roads will notice the many Czech names on the mailboxes and on the gravestones in the small community cemeteries. Many Bohemian Alps farming families are still on places originally settled by their Czech or Moravian immigrant forbears in the 1870s and 1880s.

The WallSpace-LNK show will feature favorite images from the 2019 exhibition as well as some images not seen previously.

The illustrated companion book with an original essay by photographer Michael Farrell will be available as are prints from the show.

WallSpace-LNK is open Th-Sat, noon to 5pm or by appointment.
