Each of these winners has been an important part of Lincoln's vibrant art scene and will be honored for their special contributions at a banquet and awards ceremony on the Lied Center main stage. We hope you'll join Mayor Beutler, the Lincoln Arts Council, and a roomful of Lincoln's art luminaries at the Lied. Tickets may be ordered online at ArtScene.org, or call us at 402-434-2787. You can find the names of the winners (if not all their secrets) by clicking here.

Artist-In-Residence Program Campaign Off and Running
 The 2012 artist-in-residence support drive is under way and off to a wonderful start! We are very grateful to our patrons who have shown their support.
Over the last several years, the Lincoln Arts Council has partnered with the Lincoln Public Schools to provide unique arts experiences for LPS students. The AmeriCorps program is a key component in the success of the artist-in-residence program. Without AmeriCorps assistance, it would be a challenge for the program to get off the ground, but with their help, each year the programs soar, and students are given the opportunity to unlock their artistic potential.
Have you taken a moment to make a donation and support the artist-in-residence program and AmeriCorps? If not, please take a moment to click here, and show your support today!

West Haymarket and Pinnacle Bank Arena
The West Haymarket area, a new development area near downtown Lincoln, is currently under construction. Plans for the new area include a new civic arena, community plaza, hotels, retail space, and parking spaces. A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) of Artists is being sought for public art for three locations in this new development. The first is the plaza space in the foreground of the new arena. The second has two spaces for public art - a wall section and a bulkhead section in the arena lobby. The third location is a streetscape.
The deadline to submit for the RFQ is April 13. A stipend will be awarded to selected artists to submit a Request for Proposals due by June 8. These public art projects are anticipated to be completed by autumn of 2013. The current budget for public art exceeds $1,000,000.
For more detailed information about the project and to view the RFQ, please go to: http://www.haymarketnow.com/documents/rfp/civic_art_rfq.
If you have further questions, please contact Paula Yancey at paula@projectcontrol.com.
