[October 21, 2022]     The Lincoln Arts Institute October exhibit opened on the second Thursday of the month featuring the works of the LAI membership.

The show opened on October 13th with an artist reception and will remain on display through November 4th. The LAI is open on Friday evenings from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

In the show this month, visitors will find a wide variety of mediums and subjects focusing on the items or lifestyles of those of us who live in the Midwest.



Works such as the scene of a harvested corn field at sunset, a digitally enhanced photo by Randy Washam, speaks to the everyday life of midwest farmers and the end of the day when the fields are empty and the grain bins full.



The work of Bev Noble entitled “Spirits from the Past” remind us that this community was once part of the Native American nations and that their history is a part of our history.

The photography work of Santino Lamancusa shows a different side of the Midwest. Lake Street, Chicago shows the metropolitan aspect of our society in a dark and thoughtful way.
 




Alice Ferguson brought the immediate community into the exhibit with her photography piece, Hollyhocks, 112 S. McLean.

There are many other amazing works at the LAI this month and the community is encouraged to stop by and see them all personally.

To help whet your appetite, LDN offers a slideshow of selected works in today’s edition. Be sure to check it out.
