Eiseley Branch Library Public Art Unveiling Set For January 28
Lincoln City Libraries (LCL) and Public Art Lincoln invite community members to an unveiling ceremony for a new public art sculpture Tuesday, January 28, at the Eiseley Branch Library, 1530 Superior St. The free dedication event for the sculpture “Heritage,” begins at 4:30 p.m. in the main lobby of the library and will feature remarks by sculpture artist Eddie Dominguez.
Dominguez, a celebrated ceramicist and retired University of Nebraska-Lincoln educator, said “Heritage” is a ceramic carved torso reflecting family, landscapes, and his New Mexican roots. The piece will be on loan to LCL through the Museum of Nebraska Art for five years and represents a significant addition to Lincoln’s growing public art collection.
“Public art sparks connection and conversation in our community,” said Ryan Wieber, LCL Director. “By partnering with Public Art Lincoln and the Museum of Nebraska Art, we’re able to bring a captivating work of art into a welcoming public space.”
Dominguez, an Emeritus Professor from the School of Art, Art History and Design at UNL, has exhibited his work in more than 45 solo and 150 group exhibitions throughout his four-decade career. His pieces are part of museum and gallery collections nationwide, including the Smithsonian Museum of American Art and The Sheldon Memorial Art Museum.
