Creative District
A Hub for Art, Culture, and Innovation
Certified Creative Districts
Creative Districts are designated cultural and economic areas where innovation flourishes and neighborhoods come together in the name of art. They provide significant economic impact by creating purposeful spaces like art galleries, theatres, and music venues, attracting employees and businesses. These are all assets and attributes that Nebraska — and every state — can effectively harness as it seeks to reinvigorate its economy.
Canteen Bronze
A beautiful project to honor the Canteen Legacy!
Coming in 2025
Sculpture Walk Across Nebraska
The SWAN program is a cooperative effort between North Platte. Norfolk, Grand Island, and Valentine, Nebraska. Other sculptures will be displayed for one year in various locations throughout the district, all within walking distance, and will allow visitors to enjoy art, history, and culture. In the spring of 2025, these sculptures will be removed and replaced with a completely new set of sculptures.
You can join a self-guided walking audio tour and listen to artists by downloading the Otocast app.
