Lincoln Arts Festival - The first out-of-state show.

I'm still recovering a bit from the first out-of-state show at the Lincoln Arts Festival in Lincoln, Nebraska. Overall, it was a pretty good show. It was quite a bit different since there were not as many crafts. Additionally, it was located in a mall parking lot which eliminated many of the food and beverage vendors. Something I also noticed was that there not very many people from other towns, just locals from Lincoln for the most part. These, together, made foot traffic significantly less than the other shows I have attended in the past.

The weather was unseasonably warm, but the skies were clear and I couldn't complain. I can now say without hesitation that shows on grass are much easier on the body than concrete. Yes, I sound like an old man but standing in that environment takes its toll. I saw a few artists with giant rugs in their space....hmmmm......

The art keeps on flowing from my imagination, yet I'm faced with the reality that Lincoln was basically the end of my art show season. I'm already looking forward to next year to get more shows on the tour list including metro areas like Minneapolis, Omaha, Kansas City, and Denver. We'll see how all of it pans out. In the meantime, keep checking my site for 2 new pieces every week!
