As part of our efforts to support Nebraska artists, Gallery 1516 developed the Nebraska Biennial exhibition in 2017. The goal of the Nebraska Biennial, which is held in odd-numbered years, is to create a showcase of the best artwork being created in the state.
After several years, Gallery 1516 has decided to widen the scope of this project by creating a complimentary exhibition: the Regional Biennial. In keeping with our mission to celebrate both Nebraska and regional artists, the Regional Biennial offers an opportunity for artists from the Midwest region to show their work. This exhibition, held in even-numbered years, will focus on a specific medium each year. The focus for 2022 is photography.
The 2022 Regional Biennial is a juried exhibition of photography. The exhibition will highlight the best photographic artwork being created in Nebraska and the states it touches, including Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, South Dakota, and Wyoming. Approximately 100 artworks will be selected for this exhibition, chosen by this year’s judges April and Diego Uchitel.
