and is funded directly by the Nebraska Legislature. The council coordinates artist residencies in
the areas of visual arts, crafts, dance, drama, creative writing, photography and film-making,
and music for schools wanting to supplement the regular curriculum. These enriching arts
experiences present an opportunity for students of all ages to develop new avenues of individual
expression. In each of these areas, one-week residencies are possible.
Contact CHERYL ROCHE at 308-284-8481 or
