Gothic Art & Literature Festival

Bring the entire family every third Thursday in the Joslyn Castle neighborhood along 40th Street, between Dodge and Cuming Streets. District partners Cathedral Arts Project Omaha, Cali Commons, Joslyn Castle & Gardens, and the Joslyn Castle Neighborhood Association are looking forward to opening up our venues for an evening of art, food, and fun!

Ghosts That We Knew is a tribute to Sarah and George Josyln’s love of horticulture at the turn of the 20th century, featuring 16 detailed, vibrant colored-pencil botanical drawings by Gabriella Quiroz. The exhibition serves as a small homage to the loss of their renowned orchid collection and 6,200 square foot conservatory, which was destroyed in the 1913 Easter Tornado.

Joslyn Castle & Gardens and Metropolitan Community College are partnering once again for the Art & Literary Festival. This year we delve into the darkness in an exploration of Gothic Art and Literature!
