You can find their information (and link to their websites) by using our new Artists and Arts Organizations search feature.
Thinkin' public art displays?
We're building a map to help you find the permanent and temporary displays of public art in Lincoln from the Daniel Chester French sculpture of Abraham Lincoln at the Nebraska State Capitol Building to our many Tour de Lincoln sculptures throughout the community. Soon a Google Earth map will lead you to Lincoln's public art. And since Lincoln Arts Council is about building community and giving artists opportunities, you can help us build the map! Please share your photos of Lincoln's public art with us by contacting graham@artscene.org.
