Since 1979, the Nebraska Arts Council, in partnership with the Governor of Nebraska, has recognized Nebraska arts organizations, arts professionals and the people and businesses that support the arts in Nebraska with a gala event and an award created by a Nebraska artist. The luncheon and awards presentation event includes live performances by Nebraska artists and arts advocacy opportunities such as workshops and networking sessions.
The Governor’s Arts Awards luncheon event is held biannually in Lincoln, Nebraska’s state capital. Nebraskans for The Arts and the Nebraska Cultural Endowment partner with the Nebraska Arts Council in hosting the event.
