Imagine the Nerman Museum as a lovely three-tiered cake perched on the Johnson County Community College campus (JCCC). The icing on the confection is the stunning Oppenheimer Collection, which celebrated its 20th anniversary last year and is valued at more than $10 million. Curated by the Oppenheimers—gregarious Kansas City art collectors and advocates—and the Nerman's executive director Bruce Hartman, 21 pieces grace JCCC's grounds, including sculptures, paintings, photographs, ceramics, new media, textiles and American Indian art. Not only does the parade of art offer students a rich perspective, but it also earned the college prestigious recognition as one of the top 10 U.S. college campuses for public art.
