Logan County Arts
Artists explorations in time

LINCOLN

What does “Time” mean to you?

This question is the latest theme that Logan County Arts addressed with the exhibit opening Thursday evening at the Lincoln Art Institute. The Rolling Stones said “Time Time is on my side, yes it is” and The Chambers Brothers blasted out “Time Has Come Today.” These musical takes on the theme was mirrored by the artists who hung their ideas on the walls for the first art show at the LAI of 2018.
Time passes, times up, don’t have time; timing is everything, time out, time me. Phrases with a timely theme can go on and on. What is your favorite? The artists answered this question in a personal way with all sorts of ideas and objects.

There are paintings, sculptures, and photographs with takes on the idea of something we deal with every second of our lives.

Lacy Mei paired her collage with a set of headphones that played music to enhance the experience.

Alice Ferguson looks forward to spring with a painting and poetry, the passage of seasonal time.

Time is omnipresent and has a pace creating a different meaning for all of us.

The “Art of Time” will hang until March 4 when a new one person show will feature the paintings of acclaimed Bloomington artist Dale Evans.

Contact Moses Pinkerton to arrange a visit to the Lincoln Art Institute at 217-651-8355, or wander by the gallery and press the door bell. Don’t waste time because there is only so much time left to view a timeless take on our travels through space and, what else, Time!
