NAC Fred Simon Gallery Seeks Nebraska Visual Artists for the 2011-12 Exhibit Season. The Nebraska Arts Council announces a special opportunity for Nebraska visual artists to display their work in the Fred Simon Gallery.

The two-room gallery is located at the NAC offices at the historic Burlington Place building in downtown Omaha's Old Market. Featuring stone walls, northern lighting, and overlooking Gene Leahy mall, it provides a unique venue for solo shows or collaborative ventures for an artist team. The gallery focuses on approximately six exhibits per season.

As a service to the selected artists, the Fred Simon Gallery program provides this venue at no cost, hosts receptions for the artists, supports marketing efforts for the shows, and takes no commissions on sales.

Applications are due August 31, 2010, and the selection committee meets shortly thereafter. Applicants will be notified of the artist selections in mid-September. Artists selected will be scheduled for the 2011-12 exhibit season.
