About the Exhibition

NOW THROUGH OCT. 30 | FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

Celebrated for his versatility as a painter, muralist, and sculptor, Bill J. Hammon was a titan of Omaha’s mid-century art scene. During his career, he produced a remarkable body of work including numerous commissions that remain part of Omaha’s cultural landscape. This exhibition presents the first-ever retrospective of Hammon’s work, offering a long-overdue look at the artist’s influential career, creative range, and enduring contribution to our city’s artistic heritage.
