Powered by GoogleSuch a lovely place; been here a few times and have always enjoyed my time. Amazing art and great staff. I would consider supporting this place.
Well equipped classes with all the materials provided which is super helpful for the beginners. Great staff and cozy ambiance. I loved my 2D oil painting class with Alex Renbarger, she is a skilled artist and a kind soul. None of us in the class wanted the class to end. I'd highly recommend her and Lux in general. They have many different classes for anyone at any skill level.
I haven’t been to a lot of art galleries. A museum every now and then, but not anything like Lux. They’re free to walk through, they have a wide variety of unique art on display with most from Nebraska artists. They have a community art exhibit, and an artists alley that anybody can paint in. They have regularly rotating exhibits, but I’ve been three times during the current run and found/noticed/felt different things each time. They also have workshops and classes and events, and though I haven’t been to any yet I certainly plan to. They also have easy parking, and are in a great area for art in general, as well as coffee and food. I’ll definitely be a regular going forward.
I love coming to the Lux Center for the Arts! There are people of all ages chatting in nooks and corners, lively discussions of artwork, and original pieces of work in all modalities! I attended First Friday, which was a lot of fun...and there are free refreshments and Hor D'ouvres of course. I highly recommend this art center for classes and events. I also purchased some unique pottery which I could not resist.
A really cool art gallery, art workshop space, and gift shop featuring amazing artists, both locally and beyond. It's free to visit, and I love checking out what they have from time to time. Both floors are so cozy, rarely crowded, and great for a time and space of solitude and art appreciation. 🎨
