Joe Broghammer obtained a B.F.A. from the University of South Dakota, Vermillion. He also completed graduate work at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. He has exhibited his work in more than 100 group shows and has had solo exhibitions around the United States, Holland, Germany and Italy. His work is a part of museums, public and private collections.

Joseph Broghammer has developed into one of the region’s most original voices whose mark making can be traced from Bosch and Brueghel to Dali and Magritte and linked to the likes of John Graham and Tony Fitzpatrick. Yet, it has only been in the past decade or so that his uniquely imaginative work has received official recognition. Two significant solo shows in the past seven years have won him the Best Visual Artist and Best 2-Dimensional Artist in the annual Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards.
