UNL museums and galleries will offer special programming — including concerts, exhibitions and family-friendly activities — on Dec. 4 as part of Lincoln’s First Friday Artwalk. Participating venues include the Great Plains Art Museum, International Quilt Study Center and Museum, Love Library and the Sheldon Museum of Art.
Great Plains Art Museum
The Great Plains Art Museum will offer a quilt-pattern art activity, dress-up-your-hot-chocolate bar and holiday treats during the Dec. 4 event. This is the first First Friday event the museum has participated in since closing its doors due to a flood earlier this year. Exhibits include Gwen Westerman’s “We Are Star People.” Admission and activities are free. For more information on the gallery, click here.
International Quilt Study Center and Museum
The International Quilt Study Center and Museum celebrates the grand opening of favorites from the Byron and Sara Rhodes Dillow Collection. The collection of quilts and fabrics includes historically significant and dynamic pieces. The exhibition showcases these pieces while also celebrating the family’s long legacy of quiltmaking. For First Friday, the museum will offer extended hours and free admission from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Lincoln Southeast High School’s Bel Canto group will perform at 5:30 p.m. Light refreshments will be served.
