What We Do

Nebraskans for the Arts (NFTA) is your arts advocacy organization. Nebraskans for the Arts is celebrating 40 years of arts advocacy this upcoming year. Formed in the spring of 1985, Nebraskans for the Arts has become the voice for artists, arts educators, arts organizations and an advocacy partner with the Nebraska Arts Council, Nebraska Cultural Endowment, and Humanities Nebraska. Starting in January, we will highlight many of the accomplishments and impacts over the years on our social media and newsletters.
