The University of Nebraska at Omaha has entered into a zero-dollar loan agreement (Contract ID CW45115) with Talley Dunn Gallery LLC, a Dallas-based art gallery, for the temporary loan of eight framed pigment-print-on-fabric artworks by artist Letitia Huckaby. The works, collectively valued at $218,000 USD and created in 2024, are titled Alundria, Dalores, Derrick, Dollie, LaToria, Lunni, Mekhi, and Mister. The loan period extends from July 15, 2026, through January 15, 2027, with a public display period from August 19 through December 20, 2026, as part of the "Past, Present, and Futures" exhibition at the Samuel Bak Museum & Learning Center. The University of Nebraska's Board of Regents executed the agreement on June 29, 2026, with administrative oversight provided by the Procure-to-Pay department.

Under this arrangement, the University of Nebraska assumes all financial responsibility for crate construction, packing, insurance, transportation, storage, installation, security, and all ancillary costs associated with the loan and exhibition. Talley Dunn Gallery LLC retains full ownership and copyright protections for the artworks, while the university receives limited rights to display the works and use images for educational and promotional purposes. The university is required to maintain specified environmental controls, provide 24-hour security monitoring, obtain comprehensive liability and fine arts insurance coverage, and display proper credit lines attributing the works to both the artist and Talley Dunn Gallery.
