MARQUETTE, Neb. (RFD News) — Out on the Nebraska prairie, old barns, open fields and quiet country nights are helping inspire a new generation of artists.
The Nebraska Art Farm welcomes creatives from around the world, giving them space to work, experiment and connect with rural life.
Resident artist Amy DiPlacido says the slower pace is part of what makes the experience so meaningful.
“I think it really slows you down here. I think that’s really important to learn to, especially coming from the city, knowing that hustle and bustle doesn’t really matter.”
Artists at the Nebraska Art Farm say the rural setting gives them the freedom to experiment, create, and even fail without fear as they develop new ideas and projects.
