Lincoln City Cultural Center

Always a pleasure to stop here and check out what is new in the different galleries. Am never disappointed.
Chessman gallery is currently showing items from the Crow's Nest which is located in Toledo. I have been to the gallery and that place will blow your mind. The wonderful items just makes you want to pick up and look it over to see the intricate pieces that were combined. This gallery is a must see after seeing the current exhibition.

The pick up art kits for kids are always interesting to see what new kit they have come up with. Different ones for different age groups and comes with all that is needed to complete the project. I have picked up a few for some grand cousins. I always try to leave more than the requested donation. Is wonderful to see the interesting kits and all the pieces are donated.

The other gallery has fiber/quilt items on the walls. These are beautiful to see and when looking at them can see the amount of time and so labor intensive. The designs are all different and just beautiful.
In the center of the room are displays of different size looms for weaving. On the top of the walls they have samples of the different weaves.
One if my favorite displays are the gourds. All I ever saw was gourds made into bird houses. I had no idea there was a complete genre of things that could be done with them. Different sizes, colors and embellishments. I had no idea that such artistry could be done with gourds. I looked up online and was surprised at the amount of information about types of gourds, colors whether natural or painted and there are exhibitions held for the difference uses.
To see just the variety that is on exhibition at the culture center takes your breath away. This was my 3rd visit and couldn't leave without getting another.
This is a great venue with so many art classes/exhibitions.
This is a must see for anyone interested in different areas of art and children to see and start to learn how to appreciate it.

Wonderful evening enjoying local artists work. Great turn out! Always special.times @ our Cultural Center! The staff works very hard to make sure that every event is special.

Went to the farmer/craft market. Wasn't interested in most of stuff on display. Did find cookies that were great.

Friendly staff, entertaining concerts and plays, classes and events that are inspiring, plus the gallery to appreciate different art every month. Also love the Christmas tree lot the Scouts run, best tress in town.

Stopped in and met a counselor who seems to also be a painter. She was kind enough to chat with me about my recent break up. It was kinda cool sitting in the old principal's office and I left feeling really hopeful about things.
