Greetings!
This summer at the LUX Center, we have
some great new things happening including our
three summer camps for youth. I am thrilled
about our new collaborative summer camp that
is coming up in July. We have partnered with
Lincoln Children’s Museum, Lincoln Children’s
Zoo, Morrill Hall, and Pioneers Park Nature Center
to bring you Camp Across Lincoln. This new camp
allows your 6-9 year old child the opportunity to
take part in fun and educational activities at
each of these great Lincoln locations.
This makes me want to be a kid again!
I would have loved the opportunity to go to a
summer camp where I could experiment with
science projects, go on a zoofari, make pottery,
explore nature, and be an archeologist for the
afternoon. Each day campers will go to a different
site to get a unique and well-rounded experience
that will get them excited about learning.
We’ve also got some new opportunities for
adults to expand their horizons this summer with
new workshops including the much-anticipated
Ceramics Raku Firing or the Decorative Papers
workshops.
Please be sure to check out our exciting
new exhibitions and events including our biggest
day of family fun, Community Arts Afternoon in
August! I hope to see you all at the LUX!
Here’s to creativity,
