Last Thursday, artists, organizations, and project leaders came together at the Lincoln Commercial Club for the Lincoln Arts 45th Annual Mayor’s Arts Awards to recognize their creative work and impact on the arts community.

In August, Lincoln Arts’ free concert series “Art Vibes, Park Sounds” toured several Lincoln parks to bring accessible musical experiences to the residents of local neighborhoods and create a fun, family-friendly atmosphere.

In a partnership with Lincoln Literacy, Lincoln Arts offered five days of cultural arts activities to more than 40 Ukrainians who have relocated to Lincoln. Participants were able to get a taste of home through traditional art, music, cooking, and dancing.

The Lincoln Arts Council (LAC) announced today the individuals and organizations to be honored at the 45th annual Mayor’s Arts Awards the evening of Thursday, October 26 at the Lincoln Commercial Club.

Join Lincoln Arts in celebrating the vibrant artistic and cultural landscape of Lincoln in the open air with our FREE August concert series “Art Vibes, Park Sounds!”

Lincoln Arts is saddened to learn of arts champion, talented accompanist, and our 2022 Heart of the Arts Award recipient Jean Patoka’s passing. Driven by her love for music and for helping others, Jean taught piano, led choirs, wrote parodies, and more.

Attending the Lincoln Arts Festival offers an unparalleled gift—the opportunity to immerse yourself in a curated artistic experience that encompasses visual arts, interactive activities, live performances, and more.

Lincoln Arts Festival brings together artists, arts organizations, and art enthusiasts in an inclusive, accessible venue to create its annual premiere event, where attendees can enjoy all aspects of the arts in an exciting downtown location.
