[January 30, 2015]  LINCOLN - On March 12th, 2015 Logan County Arts will open its doors for an “Open Easel Show: Calling All Artists!” The artists’ organization regularly presents shows by its members at the Lincoln Art Institute.

Now it is proposing the artistic equivalent of an “open mike night”, extending an invitation to all the community’s dedicated and enthusiastic artists who would like to have an opportunity to exhibit their artwork.

LCA members Mitch and Margie Douglas are spearheading the organization of the show. As Mitch Douglas notes, “Everyone of us knows someone who does artwork that is very good, but they might say, ‘My stuff isn't good enough to be displayed…’ or ‘I can’t find a place to show it for free..’ Well, now is the time to dust off that artwork you worked so hard to finish. Dig through that corner of the closet where you hide all your work, or that special drawer in the cupboard, and join us in a show of great artwork by the many artists of Lincoln and the surrounding area.”

As part of its mission, Logan County Arts wants to encourage artists young and old to participate in the pursuit of art and wants to enable the community to celebrate the talents of our artists. All forms of artistic work – ceramic, sculpture, painting, photography, etc. – will be accepted for the show and will be available for public viewing at the Lincoln Art Institute from March 12 to March 31, 2015. Several local artists have already promised works for the show, but there is still room for more artists. Works should be submitted by March 9, between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m. There is no charge to participate and all sale proceeds will go to the artist. For more information about the submission process, artists can call Mitch Douglas at 217-737-7428 or email him at asteal@hotmail.com
