Contemporary Color & Pattern Community Art Show in the Joslyn Castle Carriage House
January 17 - February 11, 2025

Attend an event in the Carriage House to view "Contemporary Color & Pattern," a community art show inspired by Opera Omaha’s upcoming production of "The Rake's Progress," designed by renowned artist, David Hockney. We are thrilled to continue the vibrant collaboration between Opera Omaha, Wicked Raven Productions, and Joslyn Castle & Gardens, fostering local art and strengthening community bonds.


When: January 17 - February 11
Where: Joslyn Castle Carriage House

About the Exhibition:
Opera Omaha’s production of "The Rake's Progress," is a satirical opera that narrates the rise and fall of Tom Rakewell, who is seduced by promises of wealth and pleasure, only to be ensnared by the city's temptations. Designed by Hockney, the production blends his playful visual style with Stravinsky’s dynamic score, offering a rich source of inspiration.

Artists were asked to draw inspiration from themes of color, joy, whimsey and pattern while engaging with the lush visuals and intricate narratives inspired by Hockney’s designs and the opera’s story.
