July First Friday Art Walk

Posted by: Lincoln Arts Council

Every First Friday of the month is an event that many communities across the nation celebrate. In Lincoln's Art Community, it allows a chance for local art galleries and establishments to open their doors to the public and have open house events where the public can come and see what is new in the art world. Here on the Lincoln Arts Council website, we offer a complete guide to all of open houses for Lincoln's First Friday Art Walk. If you know of an event that is happening, that is not listed in our guide, please feel free to email "Events" at events@artscene.org and we will be sure to post it as soon as possible.

Support our local art scene and see what's new in the world of the arts! Happy First Friday!

Drift Station

www.driftstation.org
Closed until September.
Location: 1746 N Street

Drift Station is taking a summer break to prepare for a massive, ultra-secret new project. We will be closed July and August in preparation, but will return on September 7th.

September's exhibition also marks our last at our "N" Street location. We have had a wonderful time rehabilitating and making use of this space, and are especially grateful to John Badami for his generosity in providing us the space at such a low cost for the last two years. We are also appreciative of our visitors, participants, and supporters - both local and virtual.

As Drift Station sublimates into a new form, we will be releasing several projects in 2012/13, including a print version of the mailto exhibition (containing over 2500 pages of emails, as well as new essays commissioned for the project), and other virtual and popup projects.

We will be posting regular updates on Facebook as the next project unfolds, and please join us on the First Friday in September!

Our friends at Nebraska Brewing Company will be here, ready and willing to fill your BIIKLOPS PINT GLASS with one of their many fine carbonated beverages! That's right, Biiklops pint glasses folks. Plan to pick one up with your poster purchase and stick around for a cold one.

If you get hungry, we've got the A la Carte food truck parking outside for your dining pleasure!

This year we're letting the good times spill into Saturday as well with a free screening of the classic Italian film "The Bicycle Thief" at the Ross Theater. Expect an invite to this event real soon. Preceding the film we will have a few speakers and some food and drinks available in the banquet room of the theater.

More to come. Tell your friends. Stay cool.
