Mission

The Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art at Johnson County Community College serves as a cultural leader to facilitate deeper understanding of our world and contemporary issues.

In alignment with the College’s mission, vision, and values, we are committed to offering welcoming experiences that foster this learning. Access and creative excellence are at the heart of our collaborations with artists, students, educators, and community members. Our diverse exhibitions, programming, and permanent collection, installed campus-wide, integrate art into the daily lives of our campus community as we strive to be a readily available academic resource for all.
