That's the stonehouse golf guy. Probably the most well know golf course photographer in the world.

I am sure most people have seen at least one of his photos somewhere.

I can't remember for sure, but didn't he already have a gallery in the Old Market several years back?

[Coyote]

Building just rezoned, but nobody showed up to speak for or against the project.

Watching it live?

Watching it live?

Yep. I was waiting for the 70th Cass project...

Looks like Gallery 1510 is finally getting off the ground with their $150k renovation to this building.

Rendering I misplaced.

The big corner facade with the address numbers seems to be a popular trend in architecture these days.

I just ran into Patrick Drickey this morning and got his card for Gallery 1516 but forgot to ask if it was open yet. Has anyone been there yet?
Brad seems to think that Stonehouse has moved somewhere close to 50th & C?, and the 1516 is a new Community Project?

I think it has been open during construction, but the front isn't finished yet.

A Fire Truck just crashed in to this building!

Holy |expletive|!


So much for the new remodel!!!

[ShaneofCal]

Yikes. Bummer for whomever was driving that truck.

Also, the name of this gallery is Gallery 1516, so a name change seems to be in order for the thread.

‘Been Here Before’
G1516 to feature five emerging Nebraska artists who share an ephemeral motif

Gallery 1516 will host a public opening July 16, 6 to 8 p.m., for five emerging Nebraska artists: Sophie Newell, Oria Simonini, Evan Stoler, Katie B Temple, and Joseph Vavak. Each projects a distinct narrative, but shares in the common threads of blurred and fragmented memories, impermanence and elusive boundaries. Sophie Newell uses a variety of processes including printmaking and embroidery, guided by strong sense of composition, to contrast expressive marks and textures. She strives to elevate the mundane and revive items that have been forgotten or abandoned. Figurative, contemplative paintings by Oria Simonini depict migrants and refugees; their community interactions as well as their trials, with inspirations sourced from current events. Evan Stoler challenges viewers to question the textures, patterns, and materials of the everyday, by removing the commonplace from its accepted function. Work examines the paradoxes and beauty in the monotony of the mundane.



Katie B Temple “Building a Place to Call Home” 2022 60 x 84, acrylic on canvas

Katie B Temple’s work is inspired by universal concepts of home. Her expressive, architectural paintings explore the emptiness of a home that is not hers or suggests activity by unknown occupants. Photographic artist Joseph Vavak explores and preserves the small details and lesser-known histories of random and isolated places in Nebraska and surrounding regions. His subjects are the often the overlooked and seemingly inconsequential. The exhibit opens to the public on Saturday, July 16, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. There will be a special members-only reception on Friday, July 15 from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. Visitation is by appointment only after the openings. Masks are optional. Please check the website for further information.
