LAC Event Coordinator Melissa Epp and two of many Lincoln Arts Festival volunteers extraordinaire!

From the bottom of our hearts, thanks to the behind the scenes volunteers that helped countless hours in preparation for this year's event.
Not only do volunteer committees help steer the festival, they are on foot for the weekend!
To you, a special thanks for those of you that "pitched that tent, hauled that bail." Your smiling and helpful faces and efforts helped to make the Lincoln Arts Festival one of the friendliest and well thought of shows in the country!

Russ's Community Rewards Points for Lincoln Arts Council from October through December
Russ's Community Rewards is an opportunity for customers and associates to band together and create a better Lincoln. For every dollar you spend on groceries at Russ's Market, you will receive 10 Russ's Community points. These points can be used to stretch your wallet farther with in-store specials, or they can be used to help meet the needs of the Lincoln community.
Russ's Market has partnered with 24 local non-profits, creating offers that serve Lincoln and allowing customers to redeem points for those offers. The Lincoln Arts Council is pleased to be among the non-profits being featured in the fall quarter catalog. LAC will be the featured organization November 26 - December 2 which means your donated points will be matched by Russ's for double the benefit that week. Save up your points and designate them for LAC!

Choose L.A.C. With Instagram Print Purchase
at Screen Ink
All summer, Screen Ink (416 South 11th St.) compiled contributions on Instagram using the hashtag: #mylnk. On September 5th, they exhibited over 100 of these images that best capture the unique beauty of our city. Prints are available to purchase in three sizes. When you purchase one of these prints, you can select one of three non-profits to benefit. The Lincoln Arts Council is pleased to be one of those chosen. First Friday sales generated $600! Says owner, Jason Davis, "We had a great time working on the project and loved seeing all of the hash tagged images rolling in. #myLNK will certainly live on past the end of this month." On Ocotber 3, Screen Ink will host a group exhibit of Food Art to benefit Community Crops.

CSArt 2014 Final Delivery during
Lincoln Arts Festival
 | |
CSArt Artists Twyla Hansen,
Katie Taylor Frisch and Heather Hanft
|
The third delivery and artist reception was part of the Lincoln Arts Festival on Sunday afternoon, September 28 from 2 to 4 pm. Twyla Hansen, our state poet; Katie Taylor Frisch and Heather Hanft were on hand to talk to shareholders and anyone with an interest in their projects for CSArt. The fourth art piece in the colorful Whole Foods reusable grocery bag is a linoleum print made by a student at Lincoln High School. These prints were professionally matted by David Clark of David Clark Framing in Williamsburg Village, for which we are most grateful.
Union Bank and Trust provided a great activity for festival-goers on Sunday afternoon - an Art Walk! It's just like a "cake walk," only you win art supplies instead. Our thanks to Jill Smith and her helpers for making so many kids (and adults) happy with their new supplies!
There is still an opportunity for you to be a 2014 CSArt Shareholder; crates are packed with all ten pieces of art and available from the LAC office. Just in time for Christmas giving! Contact Lori McAlister at CSArt@artscene.org or 402-434-2787.
