Wild Great Plains
Lower-level Gallery

Inspired by the Center for Great Plains Studies’ 50th annual conference, Wild Great Plains, this exhibition considers the concept of “wild” in art. Drawing from the Great Plains Art Museum’s permanent collection, Wild Great Plains explores how artists have connected with and portrayed the wild species and places of the region.
