Welcome to our newest members of the Lincoln Artists’ Guild. Jan Garvin, who has work already in our gallery, works in mixed media, and Lee Schon is a jewelry and blacksmith artist. Dennis Schmidt is a new member just starting out in his artistic endeavor and works with pencil. Showing in our previous Fall Show is new member Kevin Slaby who works in oils. Rejoining the Guild are Debbie Martin, Donna Justin and Alex Fischer. If I missed anyone I apologize. That puts our active members at 48. We are a growing club again. If you know of someone who is thinking of joining the Guild, encourage them to do so soon, as the dues will be increasing in the new year.

Hope that everyone had a pleasant Thanksgiving. We have been working hard to get the gallery open and making plans for the Lincoln Artists’ Guild’s new year. We will forgo the Christmas Party that we usually have in January, but just wait till next year!!!!! Lynette Fast is gearing up for our 2021 monthly programs, so if you have any suggestions, just let her know. All programs will be presented at our new gallery as we have access to a large (so we can spread out) room next to the Focus Gallery, you just may need to bring your own chair for the first couple of months.
