'Freedom Works' art show to open Thursday

[June 24, 2013]  Logan County Arts will present its new show, "Freedom Works," with an opening reception on Thursday, June 27, from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Lincoln Art Institute, on the historic courthouse square in downtown Lincoln.

Local artists and members of Logan County Arts have interpreted the theme in a number of ways. Contributors may include Nate Artisco, Georgie Borchardt, Lee Hahn, Wilbert "Bert" Hill, Jason Hoffman, Bonnie Mayo, Moses Pinkerton, Kerry Rolewicz, Nancy Saul, Chris Tice and Randy Washam.

Media used include everything from acrylic paint, graphite pencil, ink and metal to textiles and more. Many of the pieces are for sale.

Admission is free and donations are accepted. Light refreshments will be served.

The show runs through Aug. 3, so there's time to bring the kids and come on down to see how many ways "Freedom Works" has been depicted. The Lincoln Art Institute, 112 S. McLean, is open Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. or by appointment.
