The 2025 Gala date has been set! Mark April 12th, 2025 on the calendar to spend an evening with the arts. If you would like to sponsor or attend the event, please click above to purchase your tickets.
In partnership with the City of Papillion the Papillion Arts Foundation is in the process of applying for a Creative District designation from the Nebraska Arts Council. We plan to use the arts as an economic driver for the City and to use grant funding to develop a thriving arts community.
We would love to hear from dancers, poets, writers, musicians of all kinds, all artists! Who do we have here in our community who has talent and enthusiasm? Contact us at president@papillionarts.org
We are building a directory of people involved in the arts in the Papillion area. We'd like to be able to use this directory not only to get to know you, help us to let YOU know about any upcoming events and/or opportunities you might be interested in.
“This new collaboration between arts related groups that resulted in the Papillion Arts Foundation will make more partnerships possible. We look forward to seeing how the arts continue to play an important role in civic engagement, quality of life, tourism and economic development.”
David Black
Papillion Mayor
“My hope is that the Papillion Arts Foundation will find opportunities, encourage creativity, inspire collaboration and help a rich diversity of artists and art organizations thrive – and in doing so will build a stronger community”

Papillion Arts Foundation President
