Michael Forsberg funk wpa gallery
Inspired by the natural beauty just beyond Funk’s downtown, the Funk School Community Center board set out to shine a light on one of the area’s true hidden treasures—the Funk Waterfowl Production Area. Recognizing its importance as a haven for migratory birds, including the endangered whooping crane, the board envisioned transforming one of the school’s former classrooms into a dedicated gallery and exhibit space.
The Michael Forsberg Funk WPA Gallery celebrates the natural beauty, wildlife, and conservation heritage that make south-central Nebraska such a special place. Located inside the historic Funk School Community Center, the gallery takes its name partly from the nearby Waterfowl Production Area (WPA) and in celebration of renowned wildlife photographer Michael Forsberg, who headlined Crepes & Cranes in 2025.

Todd Rundstrom, a lifelong Kearney resident, discovered his passion for photography in 1988 as a Rotary exchange student in Australia, where he began documenting irreplaceable moments. Back home, he gained experience at Bob's Superstore Camera Department and as a staff photographer for the Kearney Hub, specializing in central Nebraska sports. He graduated at the top of his class from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale with a degree in Commercial Photography, later managing a prestigious South Florida studio and working as a commercial photographer for the Kansas City Star. In 2004 he returned to Kearney to establish Todd Rundstrom Photography. Since 1989 he has photographed more than 100 weddings and thousands of portraits, with his images published widely and collected privately and publicly around the world. Todd is committed to using his God-given talents and professionalism to capture the beauty and glory around us-near and far - creating photographs that become treasured possessions and increase in value every year.
