Artist INC, a career development program of Mid-America Arts Alliance, has partnered with Lincoln Arts to support local artists, of all disciplines, develop the building blocks for a thriving and enduring arts practice.

Creative professionals can find great success monetizing their art—if they have the necessary skillset to do so. This can sound a little daunting, but if your goal is to make creating art your full-time job, then Lincoln Arts’ Emerging Artist Program may be for you!

If you didn’t get to check out the many art demonstrations and interactive activities at our annual Lincoln Arts Festival this summer, now is your chance with Lincoln Arts’ “Inspiration Stations”—live art demonstrations with local artists!

The Lincoln Arts Festival isn't just about bringing together artists and arts appreciators, but also recognizing these artists for the impact they make on our community. Check out the winning artists for our 21st Annual Lincoln Ars Festival!

Due to an overwhelming interest in our “emerging artist” scholarships, the Lincoln Arts Festival (LAF) will be expanding the Emerging Artist Program this year, which means the 2022 summer event will now feature 12 Lincoln new artists!
