Donna Pozehl deserves a huge round of applause for the wonderful work she did putting together the Backpack fundraiser reception.  There were many hearty Nebraskans who braved the cold to view over one hundred paintings displayed throughout Out of the Box. The show continues until January !st, so if you would like to see some lovely art or make last minute purchases, you should drop by Out of The Box on 48th and R south of Best Buy.

Margaret Mead, the noted anthropologist, once wrote: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”  The demonstrations by Julie Lemons and Jude Martindale were inspiring.  Cartoonist Kirk Kuenzi drew wonderful caricatures of different people at the event. On December 5th,  the opening for the Lincoln Artist Guild art sale and fund raiser for the Lincoln Back Pack Program, about 800 dollars of art was sold!. It was decided to extend the show and fund raiser for the rest of December, so hopefully there will be more sales. A big thanks to Out of the Box for sharing their space with us so this event was possible. Many thanks to all the LAG members for bringing art and especially to those who gave a percent of the sales to the Back Pack proiect. And a special thanks to Donna Pozehl for all her work to make this event happier and to Jan Blank for doing the silent auction. I think the Lincoln Artist Guild can be very proud of this event!
