1951 to 1970
The Left Bank of Omaha
Oral History Project examines a twenty year period - from 1951 through
1970. While the Associated Artists of Omaha formed in the late 1940's and
the Joslyn
Art Museum, Tuesday Musicals,
the Omaha Community Playhouse and other creative venues even earlier, this
project
focuses on the two decades wherein cultural
institutions, businesses and individuals were
entwined in a celebration of the arts.
The Left Bank of Omaha is an expansive project and we beg
your patience as we
develop on-line pages for all. And, please,
contact us if you have additional information.
