November First Friday Artwalk

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!

LUX Center for the Arts presents “Bread and Butter (memorial to a missing guest)” by LUX Artist-in-Residence, Nora Rolf. This show opens November 2 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and runs through December 1. Rolf created 'Bread and Butter,'an interactive arrangement of humble landmarks. The landmarks in this installation are small sculptures made of plaster and bread that have been both individually formed and cast in multiples; they are representative of inherited conventions, current notions, and newly formed inclinations. 'Bread and Butter' serves as a platform and a sister piece to the installation 'Memorial to a Missing Guest'. Guests of the LUX are invited to gently handle the smaller installation pieces, and to consider the relationships that are present in the installation, both subtle and overarching.

Gallery talk with the artist at 7:00

Join us as we welcome renowned watercolor artist William Holland. William is traveling from the big O (that's Omaha) to hang out with us capital city folk for a night of conversation, imbibing and, of course, art appreciation.

Mr. Holland seems to be quite prolific in his approach to watercolor painting. His use of color is vibrant. His line work is at times highly structured and at times playfully abstract. His final product(s), in our humble opinion, are simply stunning.

However, don't just take our wo
rd for it. Come on down during the First Friday art walk and see for yourself!

William has big plans for our little print studio on Friday evening so be prepared to purchase some of his work on a t-shirt of your choosing, printed LIVE while you wait, watch, drink, point, and giggle.

Refreshments provided by a local brewery of our choosing.

We'll see you on the art walk folks.
