We are excited to announce Whispers of Home, a solo show featuring the abstract collage and mixed media works of Nebraska artist Susan Hart.
Reading Willa Cather
The National Willa Cather Center is pleased to partner with Theater Latté Da for a celebration of Willa Cather (1873–1947), one of the most distinctive and enduring voices in 20th-century American literature. A peer of Wharton, Fitzgerald, Faulkner, and Hemingway, Cather charted her own path through determination, struggle, and artistic vision.
