2012 Lincoln Arts FestivalAttention Lincoln Artists!  The Lincoln Arts Festival wants YOU!

In the last days of September, for one fine fall weekend out of the year, more than 100 artists come together in the capital city to show their art in a fun and festive atmosphere. Usually, one in three is a local or regional artist. This year, we think you might like to join us. We ordered up fine weather, great music and huge crowds. This year's Lincoln Arts Festival will be September 22 and 23.

Beginning Monday, February 6, visit www.zapplication.org for more information on our festival (and many others) and to get an application. If you've never sold in the festival setting before, apply for our Emerging Artist position. The submission window will be open for several months, but don't let the opportunity to have a great time sharing and selling your art pass you by.
