Art Gallery (AV Larson)
The art gallery will be open, and will have featured work by artist Loren Entz. Loren moved to Brownville, NE from Montana two years ago. Here are Loren's notes regarding the works: Two years ago I moved from the state of Montana to Brownville, Nebraska. The beautiful Montana landscape had been my home for 40 years. It was there my career in art took shape, nurtured by the pristine mountain ranges, canyon lands, rivers, sage and juniper covered hills. It is there that I learned to take my outdoor paint box and capture the many inspirations I found in the wide open spaces. From there I traveled to other parts of the world with my paint box constantly in front of me. This exhibition displays a sampling of these works.
My preoccupation with art has not been a passing fancy or a weekend hobby, it has been a way of life for me and the only source of income by which I could raise my family. I am proud that my two daughters, Rebecca and Janene, carry on my love for art and nature. Both artists in their own right, their paths led them to Omaha where they now reside with their husbands and each are raising two daughters of their own who are exhibiting a budding talent towards art. Having a desire to spend the latter years of my life near my family, I made the choice to move to the southeast corner of Nebraska. And that is why I am here.
