SUMMARY:Butterfly Habitat by Albert Rhea
DESCRIPTION:Butterfly Habitat by Albert Rhea \nOctober 10 through November 16\, 2026\nOpen daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (last entry at 4 p.m.)\nIncluded with paid garden admission. Free for garden members. \nArtist Statement \nThere are many butterflies–475 species alone in North America\, making them the second largest group in the animal kingdom\, second to beetles. And because of their numbers\, we do not see their importance. Environmentalists know that because the butterfly is so fragile\, it is an important indicator of the entire ecosystem–and that includes humans. The Xerces Society\, a butterfly preservation group\, puts it this way: “Butterflies\, since they are so conspicuous and ecologically vulnerable\, serve as excellent indicators of ecosystem health”. Dr. Paul Opler\, at the Office of Endangered Species\, states that it is not butterfly collectors who have caused the species to become endangered\, but rather housing development and urban sprawl. Most butterflies depend on a solitary plant for their food. If land is bulldozed and plants destroyed\, the butterflies disappear – forever. Study land use policies near you and be alert for habitat destruction. Ask yourself\, “How are butterflies faring in my community?”. \nAbout the Artist \nAn Omaha native\, Albert Rhea has been interested in photography since high school. His father was a wildlife photographer\, and Albert still uses some of his equipment today. He is carrying on his father’s interest in wildlife photography in his butterfly habitat series. To Albert\, wildlife photography is magical because it takes him into a universe of vibrant colors\, exquisite details and extraordinary patterns. This is especially the case when shooting birds and butterflies\, which provide an incredible variety of shapes and colors that could potentially keep him engaged for a lifetime. \nTo find out more about the artist\, visit albertrhea.com \nLauritzen Gardens proudly provides a platform for local artists\, showcasing botanical artwork inspired by our collections and celebrating the connection between art\, nature\, and our community.

SUMMARY:Art Exhibit: Flora and Fauna- Nature's Palette by Anna McCaslin
DESCRIPTION:October 10 through November 16\, 2026 \nOpen daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (last entry at 4 p.m.)\nIncluded with paid garden admission. Free for garden members. \nFlora and Fauna – Nature’s Palette is a collection of watercolor paintings by Anna McCaslin celebrating plants\, flowers\, and garden wildlife. Inspired by both tropical and Midwest botanicals\, the work reflects a lifelong creative journey and a renewed passion for watercolor painting. \nAnna has been drawing and painting for as long as she can remember\, beginning with watercolor in childhood and returning to it later in life for its simplicity and natural beauty. During the pandemic\, she was inspired to return to her brushes after a long hiatus\, beginning a series of florals rooted in the beauty and color of nature. \nHaving spent her childhood in Hawaii and her adult life in Nebraska\, Anna draws inspiration from both tropical and Midwestern landscapes. Her work explores the limitless possibilities of botanical subjects and the rich connection between nature\, memory\, and artistic expression. \nLauritzen Gardens proudly provides a platform for local artists\, showcasing botanical artwork inspired by our collections and celebrating the connection between art\, nature\, and our community. \nThis event will occur daily from Oct 10\, 2026 to Nov 16\, 2026.

SUMMARY:Post-War Letterpress: Harry Duncan\, Cummington Press and Abattoir Editions at UNO
DESCRIPTION:The exhibit\, ‘Post-War Letterpress: Harry Duncan\, Cummington Press and Abattoir Editions at UNO’\, which highlights the fine arts press books published by Duncan’s two printing presses is open through May 4\, 2026. Post-War Letterpress: Harry Duncan\, Cummington Press and Abattoir Editions at UNO shares materials from the UNO Fine Arts Press collection\, focusing on the works of Harry Duncan\, a printer\, typographer\, publisher\, and former professor at UNO. Harry Duncan (1916-1997) used a hand-press printer to create letterpress books. Born in Keokuk\, Iowa\, he founded the Cummington Press (1939-1997) in Massachusetts\, before moving the company to Iowa and later to Nebraska. As a professor of fine arts at UNO\, he began Abattoir Editions\, the UNO Fine Arts Press in 1972 and led the press until 1985. \nDuncan was called “the father of the post-World War II private-press movement” by Newsweek in 1982 and his designs were lauded by scholar Joseph Blumenthal for their “compelling and dramatic simplicity.” Duncan worked with authors such as Tennessee Williams\, Robert Lowell\, Alan Tate\, Lyn Coffin\, as well as students\, faculty and staff at UNO. \nSome of the books and woodblocks on display were collected and donated by Mary L. Richmond\, the curator of the Chapin Library at Williams College in Williamstown\, MA from 1947 to 1955. These items\, which compose the Mary L. Richmond Cummington Press Collection\, were donated by Richmond to UNO in 1977. \n  \nDuring regular hours\, Criss Library is open to the public Monday – Thursday 7AM-10PM\, Friday 7AM-5PM\, Saturday 9AM-5PM and Sunday 12PM-10PM.
