In 2024, Flatwater Free Press and the Nebraska Arts Council combined forces to launch the Creative Districts of Nebraska Series, a poster project celebrating the energy and character of the state’s official certified Creative Districts.
Artists were selected from highlighted districts to create an original artwork that celebrates the distinct cultural identities that make their communities truly special. 2024 posters for sale are: Ashland, Benson, McCook, Columbus, and Lincoln. 2025 posters for sale are: Chadron, Omaha, and Norfolk.
Along with these districts, two additional artworks were added to the project, created by Reyna Hernandez and Sarah Rowe, that celebrate a facet of Nebraska not directly tied to a Creative District.
The completed artworks were made into high quality, 12”x18” posters available for purchase in each corresponding community for $20 or as a gift for monthly donors to Flatwater Free Press. The posters by Hernandez and Rowe are available for purchase at the Nebraska Arts Council offices for a suggest donation of $20.
All purchase information is linked in the list below.
The images by Reyna Hernadez and Sarah Rowe are not tied a specific district and can be purchased by contacting the Nebraska Arts Council at nac.info@nebraska.gov or 402-595-2122.
