The prints will be turned into a wrapped paper covered book with visible spine stitching details. Through the “Pressure Printing” process, unexpected juxtapositions of symbols will be printed from stencils, cutout relief forms, and textured materials impressed by rollers and the hand “Pin Press” with Akua water-base inks onto quality art papers. There will be generative collaboration in printing from the combinations of sources, materials and color layering. Techniques will be demonstrated and discussed, with ongoing problem solving and suggestions by faculty mentor. This process can spark minds through the imaginative pursuit of problems and solutions and results in a final book form.

SUMMER BOARD MEETING JULY 18TH IN ANSLEY, NE
If you are interested in attending with the board, please notify Allison Varah, allisonfees@gmail.com, to confirm your attendance ASAP. A social/light lunch will begin at noon with THE MEETING following.
LightHouse public Art project
Because we have seen a multitude of Public Art Projects pop up in cities across the United States and around the world, it is evident that their popularity is derived from the way they promote excitement, display artistic expression, build a feeling of community, and heighten awareness as well as support of the arts.
We have seen fiberglass J. Does in Omaha and steel bikes in Tour de Lincoln. Lighthouse chose a Light Bulb design – an icon of illumination - as its concept, utilizing fiberglass combined with a polyurethane resin for an environmentally friendly strong, long-lasting medium, manufactured in Gibbon, Nebraska, by Icon Poly.
This Project offers Nebraska Artists an opportunity to use their creative talent and imagination to paint, design and otherwise manipulate and/or add on to the six-foot Light Bulb for outdoor display throughout Lincoln, May 1 – September, 2015. Click Link above for the Artist application form and agreement. If you have trouble opening the documents please contact Liz Shea-McCoy at (402)430-5923
