New exhibition by Kansas City artists Kēvin Callahan and Marti Dodge opens

Friday, July 31, in Brownville.

 

BROWNVILLE, Neb. — The Schoolhouse Art Gallery & Nature Center will open Prairie

Echoes, a new exhibition featuring the work of Kansas City artists Kēvin Callahan of the Elegant Line Studio and Marti Dodge of 3Herons Art, on Friday, July 31, 2026. The show will remain on view throughout August 2026.

Prairie Echoes honors and reimagines the artists' shared love for the natural world. Drawing from the prairie landscape that surrounds them, Callahan and Dodge transform what they have observed in nature — from fallen trees to birds on the wing — into work that brings those moments to life. The exhibition is primarily sculptural, with pieces that arise from the land itself before being presented to the viewer.

Both Callahan and Dodge are lifelong multidisciplinary artists who work across a range of media, including paint, wood, and metal. Their distinct yet complementary visions give the show its name: an exhibition that lets the prairie speak, and echoes it back through art.

Opening Night

The public is invited to the opening free reception on Friday, July 31, 2026 at 6:00 pm. The evening will feature artist talks, a Q&A session, and an opportunity for guests to mingle with Callahan and Dodge and hear directly about the inspiration behind their work.
