Deadline: February 17, 2023
 
Application: $30 Booth fee: $250
 
Now in its 22nd year, this juried show is anticipated each year by residents of Lincoln, NE and the surrounding region. In 2021 the festival moved to Canopy Street & the Railyard in the Historic Haymarket District in downtown Lincoln - the heart of Lincoln's art scene. The change in venue gave us the opportunity to grow the festival and it has proved to be sucessful. A unique mix of prime location, discriminating clientele and a celebratory atmosphere combine to create a “can’t miss it” event. The show committee consists of community volunteers and staff with many years of experience organizing shows.

do this if you get a chance!

Hey Peeps!  Connie asked me to share a bit about a project she saw on my personal blog.  I got to do an artist-in-residence project this May.  So freaking cool.  I swear it was a blast every day.  You know you hear the sappy stuff people say about these things - stuff like how they get more out of it than the kids?  Well......true that!  It was really a rewarding thing.  This project had about a billion examples of why it is so important to support the arts in schools.  A LOT of these kids were special needs kids.  The vast majority of them were around 12 or 13.  They worked their tails off to get this accomplished and it was fabulous.  I highly recommend it if you ever get the opportunity to share your gifts with kids......or whoever.

 

Anyway, I did a short little video of the month that I was at this school https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gf4DZJDAq6g  about 30 seconds in the music will start.  Ovuca -Awesome music and YES, I got permission from the artist to use his work legally.  All my videos have legal music.

 

The school set up a site to explain our intentions with the project.http://www.wrsd.org/district.cfm?subpage=1279031

 

I have a little wrap up about it in my blog too.  http://lindabillet.blogspot.com/2011/05/warrior-run.html

 

.....and if you're really into it, we made their local paper. http://dailyitem.com/danvillenews/x1759378153/Warrior-Run-students-create-mosaics
