Bandstand on the Bricks Creative District

Bandstand on the Bricks Creative District

The Bandstand on the Bricks Creative District being proposed will provide funding for a 5 yr. Strategic and Implementation Plan for a designated area with a focus of the Broken Bow Square and walking access area connecting to the downtown area.
The funding comes from the Nebraska Arts Council for arts and humanities events, business building renovation and development, parks development, sidewalk upgrades, and implementation strategies from this survey.
Our vision for the Bandstand of the Bricks is to enhance the combination of our Western Heritage, Humanities, and Modern Life in Broken Bow Nebraska.
Our Mission is to enhance our community's quality of life through arts and humanities initiatives, celebrate our cultural diversity, support local artists and artisans, and foster creativity for all. We strive to enhance opportunities for our business community by creating an event location to drive more interest to our community for newcomers and tourists alike. 
We value our communities work ethic, commitment to our neighbors, the drive and forward thinking of our leadership, the honor of our heritage, and faith in God and country.
