An exhibition of new work by Carlie Antes is featured at Nebraska City’s Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts. The exhibition, “particulates,” is on display through Aug. 16.

A gallery talk will be presented at 5 p.m. July 18 in conjunction with Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts’ monthly Third Thursday Artist Talks. The talk is free and open to the public.

Antes is assistant professor of practice in the School of Art, Art History and Design and 3D Foundations coordinator, is a native Nebraskan, and is currently residing in Syracuse, Nebraska. She received both her Bachelor of Fine Arts in ceramics and Master of Fine Arts in ceramics from Nebraska. Her work explores complex interpersonal relationships set alongside human inventions — utilizing the physical matter of her lived experiences as visual placeholders for people, places, memories and emotions. With her work and process deeply rooted in handcraft, Antes has taught a number of workshops that incorporate hand-weaving techniques using wire as the primary medium.

Antes has received numerous awards and accolades for her creative research, including the Dan and Barbara Howard Creative Achievement Award (2020), the Jean R. Faulkner Memorial Art Exhibition Award (2017, 2020), and the Francis Williams Vreeland Award (2017, 2023).

Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts is located at 801 Third Corso in Nebraska City. The gallery is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays.
