The
BurkholderProject, located in downtown Lincoln's Haymarket District,
is a unique collection of 36 art and design studios with loft
apartments and three levels of galleries, connected by a sunfilled
atrium.
The
Project was designed and developed by artist Anne Burkholder,
who bought the building in 1987. It was her idea to create a
place where a community of artists would have excellent work
spaces, as well as a support system of other creative people.
The project also represents fifteen regional, national and international
"Associated Artists" in the new Sampler Gallery on
the lower level.
The
original building, built in 1914, was known as the Old Woods
Brothers Office Building, which was the headquarters of several
real-estate and agricultural businesses.
Art
thrives in this bright and exciting community in part because
of the artists' interchange of ideas with one another and with
the public. We invite you to join us, observe our creative processes,
ask questions, learn about each of our art forms, browse through
the galleries and visit the working studios and shops where
you can see not only the finished works, but the works of art
in progress.
Enjoy
your visit, and remember creativity takes concentration and
unnecessary noise is a distraction. Our working hours are as
diverse as our artwork. If a studio is closed the artist may
be preparing for a show, painting on location, teaching or researching
new projects.
We
hope you enjoy your visit and get to know us. We feature a new
show monthly and look forward to seeing you again soon!
