Sarpy County Art Galleries- Springfield Artworks

Springfield Artworks is located in Sarpy County, Nebraska, just 6 miles from I-80, exit 440. Glenn and Margie Trembley have owned the property for 5 years this month (June).  They opened a gallery at 183 Main Street in November of 2009.

Many enhancements to the property were done...flooring, lighting, partitions, and all those things that need to go into re-creating a space from a video store to an art gallery. The building was not bought to develop an art gallery but as time progressed and the Trembley's studied their options, they decided to make a small gallery, classroom and studio space.  The building is 2500 square feet and allows them to entertain guests as well as students.

The building has a lot of history and flavor of small town Nebraska.  It was built by Peter Kiewit from Omaha, NE and is one of the oldest remaining buildings that he constructed.

What many people don't know is it is only 6 miles from the interstate that carries hundreds of thousands of tourists across the country.  Very active in the tourism industry,  Margie and Glenn Trembley's gallery and studio was selected again to be featured in the Nebraska Tourism Passport program.

Happy Birthday 183 Main Street, Springfield, NE!

Christmastime at Springfield Artworks

It's that time of the year again, holiday lights, family time, decorating (which I love) and Holiday demos at Springfield Artworks.  This year Omaha artists Glenn and Margie Trembley are showing how to make elegant Christmas bows and ornaments.  Glenn is also  making Hanukah ornaments for those who celebrate Hanukah.

 Love to shop, hate the crowds and long walks in the parking lot, take the short drive to Springfield and park at the door!

Preparing for November events

It's been busy around the studio.  Glenn and I have both been working frantically preparing for the upcoming holiday season.  His new ornament tree is full and his Wild Animal pieces have kept him busy.  He has done a couple of commissions for companies using their logos.  He loves doing that.

I have been experimenting with a new dyeing process...working with silk only...results are fantastic....will surprise you some day with the luscious colors.  I can use them on my fascinator hats as well as shawls and scarves.  I think I could enjoy dyeing all day long.....love it.

A magazine contacted us about some info on our classes....That's exciting! Guests coming to shop tomorrow from Topeka Shriners. We look forward to having them.  Great weather for shopping!
