The Special Olympics Art Triathlon held at the Lincoln Arts Council, Haydon Art Center, and the Sheldon Art Gallery was a gold medal success with Special Olympics Athletes, family members, and community members taking part in art prjoects at each location. Nine local artists were stationed at each location to assist participants in their artistic efforts. Participants created tote bags and buttons at Haydon, magic clay creations at Sheldon, and autograph books at the Lincoln Arts Council.
