LINCOLN
- Logan County Arts has received an enthusiastic
response to its recent call to local artists to
participate in its upcoming Open Easel: Calling All
Artists Show. The participants represent a variety of
mediums, including painting, photography, fine
woodworking and poetry. The exhibit will open with a
reception from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., Thursday, March 12 at
the Lincoln Art Institute (next to the Lincoln Post
Office).

Since several of these artists do not routinely show
publicly, "Calling All Artists" will be an opportunity for the
community to see works that are available for viewing for the
first time.
In addition to the art display, the exhibit well represent a
first for Lincoln Art Institute, since this will be the first
art event to feature live music. The duo of Pam and Rachelle
Shuff will provide guitar and keyboard music from 5 p.m. to 6:30
p.m. Pam has played guitar music internationally, while daughter
Rachelle is currently performing with the cover band "Glory
Days". From 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. the duet of Maureen Douglas and
Tanya Conrady will fill the gallery with the sweet melodic tones
of the Celtic harp. They are familiar to Logan County music
lovers since they have played at the Chapel in Elkhart for over
20 years.

Exhibit organizer Mitch Douglas has put together a true celebration
of art to welcome some new artists to the Art Institute. T. G.
Simpson, whose nature photography will be displayed, is a first time
exhibitor. “My high school hobby evolved into a passion. Nature lets
me express my feelings through the lens,” she says. She also notes,
"Sometimes a picture is just a picture". When asked what made her
decide to participate in the show, she noted, “Mitch, who is also a
photographer, urged me to exhibit my pictures. I agreed, but not
without reservations.” Mitch responds, “Her work is definitely an
asset to the show. And since the deadline for submission is March 9,
there is still time for others to participate.” Artwork can be
dropped off at the Art Institute, 112 S. McLean, Lincoln, between 3
p.m. and 9 p.m. For information contact Douglas at 217-7377428 or
