The Great Plains Art Museum at the University of Nebraska will host B.C. Gilbert as the 2016 Elizabeth Rubendall Artist in Residence. During his residency, Aug. 2-6 and Oct. 11-15, Gilbert will use the lobby of the museum to create an artwork that will become part of the museum’s permanent collection. Visitors are encouraged to see the artist in action during his lobby working hours (see below).

Gilbert’s woodblock prints and sculptural paintings are on display in the museum from July 12 through October 29 in an exhibition titled “Flat Land, Flat Water.” By incorporating iconography of the High Plains of Texas, Gilbert’s work reveals his experiences growing up in West Texas.
