Thedford, Nebraska

This major attraction is a surprising discovery for many visitors ... even more so when they learn that it is owned and totally supported by a small art group ... the Thedford Art Guild. It is an inspiration for fellow artists and travelers alike, and a warm welcome is extended to all!

The unique sandhills, with their atmospheric moods, and everchanging colors are inspiration for the member artists who work in may painting mediums. In addition to paintings, various artists-crafted items are offered for sale. Guest artists are featured monthly in rotating exhibits.

The gallery serves as a source of art education for the area. Workshops in fine art and photography, taught by professionals, are open to the public, as well as special lectures and seminars. Guided tours for schools and clubs are available by appointment with the gallery.
