Logan County Arts has
completed a signature event with the opening of the current exhibition at
the Lincoln Art Institute. "Autumn Impressions" is the last show of the
organization's inaugural year. |
It was one year ago when eight Logan
County artists gathered at the Lincoln Art Institute with the intent
of staging a few shows featuring the works of local artists, to
bring an art scene to Lincoln. One year later, Logan County Arts has
staged 10 shows and more than doubled the membership to 18.
The current exhibit, "Autumn
Impressions," showcases works that run the gamut from a carved
Halloween pumpkin with an iPod inside running a video, by artist
Christopher Tice, to a three-dimensional multimedia piece by Beason
artist Bert Hill.
Artist Pam Moriearty chose to
create a sculpture to highlight the encroaching effects of acid rain
on marble sculptures. Moriearty sees art as a surprise, an
unexpected pleasure that comes about even though she sees our
culture today as being overwhelmed with televisions, computers and
other forms of visual stimulation.
Moses Pinkerton said, "Art is at
its best when it can bring a feeling of beauty and serenity from
between the borders of a frame."
Christopher Tice, who chairs Logan
County Arts, describes it as a community-oriented and activity-based
group. The organization hopes to expand its programs to include art
lectures and demonstrations. Tice welcomes the public to stop by and
join in the enjoyment of a vibrant local arts scene.
