NATA / NAEA Strategic Plan at Work: Learning, Community, Advocacy, Organizational Vibrancy2/24/2015 NATA's Rich History
Over 90 years later, Jean Detlefson and Angie Fischer are facilitating more documentation of the rich history of NATA and have volunteered to co-chair the history committee. Jean has begun some audio history collection from some of our long time members who were instrumental in keeping NATA alive and well. Sister Margaret Proskovec and Bob Reeker have sorted many documents sealed in rubbermaid tubs ready for digital documentation.

My name is Don Robson and I serve as a professor of art and the chairman for the Department of Art at Concordia University, Nebraska. I'm emailing to share some exciting news with you regarding this year's Jones Bank Fine Arts Series. Each year the Jones National Bank & Trust Company of Seward brings a distinguished artist or artisans to campus for several days to teach and rehearsing with students, culminating in a public performance. This year's artist is Eric Rieger. Eric Rieger (HOTTEA) is an Emmy award winning street artist. His stunning typographical installations are both beautifully elaborate and simple. HOTTEA typically works with yarn to create installations that co-exist with a space non-destructively and brings attention to neglected and forgotten spaces. His works have been displayed by invitation throughout the United States and internationally, with recent installations in London, Berlin, New York City, Los Angeles, Montreal, Vancouver, Chicago, Denver, San Francisco, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, Switzerland and Detroit. The following is the schedule of events in which you and your students are welcome to attend: April 8-11, 2015 (Wednesday – Saturday) · Wednesday – Jones Bank lawn artwork · Thursday - Begin Courthouse staircase work · Friday - Courthouse staircase work completed · Saturday - 9:00 – 10:00 a.m. Artwork viewing If you have questions please contact me at don.robson@cune.edu or Debbie Brutlag at debbie.brutlag@cune.edu.
