The Karen and Doug Riley Contemporary Artists Project Gallery
A
500-square-foot space in the Scott Pavilion suite of galleries, the
Riley CAP Gallery showcases nationally- and internationally-recognized
artists, as well as emerging talent, selected by Joslyn curators. A
rotating schedule of intimate, carefully focused exhibitions will
examine how artists engage with the world and respond to the issues that
challenge them creatively, bringing new perspectives on contemporary
art to Nebraska.
Riley CAP Gallery artists will be invited to
Joslyn for lectures and other public programs, giving audiences the
opportunity to gain insight into creative processes and contribute to an
expanded dialogue about new art. The first Joslyn gallery dedicated
exclusively to living artists, the Riley CAP Gallery represents an
important step in making contemporary art an even more integral
component of the Museum’s exhibition programming.
