UNO Libraries’ Archives and Special Collections announced today that they have been awarded a $2000 grant from Humanities Nebraska to fund the On the Inside exhibit installation in the H. Don and Connie J. Osborne Family Gallery in Criss Library. On the Inside is a group show of LGBTQ+ artists who are currently incarcerated. The exhibit will be on display in the Osborne Family Gallery from May 20 – July 31, 2022. The gallery is open during Criss Library’s regular hours of operation.

This is one of many grants funded by Humanities Nebraska (HN), which awards nearly $300,000 in grants each year.

Any organization with non-profit status according to the State of Nebraska and the IRS is eligible to apply for a grant from HN. Grant guidelines are available at humanitiesnebraska.org/grants/ and staff is available for consultation about a potential project and will read proposal drafts.

Humanities Nebraska is a private nonprofit with a mission to help Nebraskans explore what connects us and makes us human. HN is funded in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities, an appropriation from the Nebraska Legislature, private donations, and the Nebraska Cultural Endowment, a public-private partnership with state dollars matching private dollars to benefit the arts and humanities in Nebraska.
