One Nation, Many Hands

In June and July 2026, Robert participated in a Lincoln Artists’ Guild show at the Red Path Gallery & Cocktail Lounge in Seward, Nebraska.

“For the uninitiated, Seward, designated “Nebraska’s Official 4th of July City” by Nebraska’s governor in 1973, often draws a crowd in June and July. While Wikipedia reports Seward’s 2020 population at just under 8000 residents, Seward prepared to welcome nearly 50,000 visitors to its July 4th celebration this year. I don’t expect all of them made their way into the back of the Red Path Gallery, but it’s a bit of a thrill to know that some of my art was on display in "America's Official Fourth of July City—Small Town USA" on the 4th of July celebrating America’s 250’s birthday!”
