January First Friday Art Walk
Posted by: Lincoln Arts Council
Every First Friday of the month is an event that many communities across the nation celebrate. In Lincoln's Art Community, it allows a chance for local art galleries and establishments to open their doors to the public and have open house events where the public can come and see what is new in the art world. Here on the Lincoln Arts Council website, we offer a complete guide to all of open houses for Lincoln's First Friday Art Walk. If you know of an event that is happening, that is not listed in our guide, please feel free to email "Events" at events@artscene.org and we will be sure to post it as soon as possible.
Support our local art scene and see what's new in the world of the arts! Happy First Friday!

The Grand Manse Gallery will feature Photographer Wesaam A-badryat. An Iraqi native, A-badryat received his first camera in 1992. “In spite of the fact that it had no film, I took pictures of everything. I clicked away as people posed and smiles appeared," he said. In 1993, after living in Saudi refugee camps, A-badryat moved to the United States and has continued to capture images of unique places, people, poses and materials. Using 35mm film and a self-made dark room, he captures and develops his images using portraits, fashions, and clever scientific methods. A-badryat will be showing one of his recent projects at the Grand Manse this month, a Degas-like collection of ballet portraits.
Art displayed on First Fridays at the Grand Manse remains on the walls and available to be viewed by personal request until the following First Friday.
