Grand Island gallery serves as an outlet for Nebraska artists

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (KOLN) – During a visit to Studio 10 Art Gallery in downtown Grand Island, we discovered art work on display produced by artists from all over the state.

We talked with owner Heidi Sack about her business. “I’m showcasing statewide artists,” Sack said. “This is a place where they can display their work for the public. All of the artists in the gallery are either from Nebraska, or have some roots in Nebraska.” The kind of media you’ll find in the gallery ranges from pottery to acrylic and oil paintings. “Pretty much anything you want to see out of art, you’ll find here in the gallery,” Sack said. “All of the art in the store is for sale. The fun part about buying a local piece of art is, you will always have something totally different from anything else.”

The building that Studio 10 Art Gallery is housed inside used to be a mortuary, then it was First National Bank. Then it was Gorman’s men’s clothing store, and since then, it’s served as an art gallery for 25 years. The business is located in downtown Grand Island, and Sack says downtown an exciting place to be. “There is so much going on in this area,” Sack said. “They are really building up Railside. There are fun activities, and it’s just a great place for people to come and enjoy.”

Gallery owner Heidi Sack has always had an interest in art. “I grew up in Oshkosh,” Sack said. “I loved art from a young age. My mom was an artist. I also had an amazing art teacher in high school that was very supportive. I’ve always wanted to own an art gallery, and I’m blessed to run something like this.” Sack has been operating Studio 10 Art Gallery since 2022. “My artists spend a lot of time and talent doing what they love,” Sack said. “They need a place to showcase what they love to do.” The Studio 10 Art Gallery is on this year’s Nebraska Tourism passport program, and Sack says she’s already seeing plenty of visitors thanks to the passport.
