About Us:

The Carnegie Arts Center is a non-profit organization supported by donations, grants, memberships and fundraising.  We are located in Alliance, NE.  Alliance is a rural town in the heart of the Nebraska Panhandle with a population of roughly 8,500 citizens.  Carnegie serves Alliance and surrounding communities by providing opportunities for cultural expression and exposure to the visual, performing, and literary arts. When the doors opened at the Arts Center in 1993 it was the goal of the founders and the participating members to offer artists a place to professionally show their work. Another goal was to offer community members and visitors enjoyable and educational fine arts experiences. The third goal was to provide area children with opportunities for artistic development and expression. Finally, their fourth goal was to rescue an impressive and historic building from decay and ruin.

Carnegie Arts Center's story is a story of success! Today, Carnegie displays nineteen exhibits a year in our three galleries. In addition, we also display   These Galleries host artists from different states and cultural backgrounds.  All forms of media are represented here. Our visitors gain exposure to artworks that are diverse in concept as well as content. Annually, Carnegie hosts fund raising events, humanities events, exhibit tours, receptions for artists, and even a fine arts field trip. In addition, we hold numerous workshops for youth, which provide comprehensive techniques taught in a fun and safe environment.  Our Studio Gallery showcases local artists as well as provides a comfortable and accommodating space available to the public for rent.  Many take advantage this opportunity for meetings as well as special gatherings. The opening of the Sculpture Garden in 2000 enabled us to expand opportunities. The Garden features endowed sculpture pieces, a nostalgic Memory Walk created with engraved bricks, and lovely plants and flowers. This space is a perfect setting for the public to rent for outdoor workshops, special events, and musical performances.
