On January 25, Carrie Strope began her artist-in-residency session at Riley Elementary. During this residency, the second- and third-grade students learned about the process of glass fusing. The students worked together to create an abstract fused glass window installation. The installation is compilation of 4"x4" glass tiles that are designed and handcrafted by each student.
Please join us to celebrate the fused glass installation at the public reception on Thursday, February 23 at Riley Elementary School. During the reception, students will share their experiences from the residency with family, friends, and teachers.
Thank you to the Nebraska Arts Council and the AmeriCorps program for making this residency possible. This is the third year the Lincoln Arts Council has received funding for residency programming. These opportunities inspire young minds, ignite the learning process, and strengthen our arts community.

Attention 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.
