ART SHOWS

Live Yes Studios has been hosting art shows for LYS artists since 2011 which feature both group and solo exhibitions. Group exhibitions showcase the work produced from the visual art classes taught by LYS instructors. The solo exhibitions showcase the artists’ self-directed body of work. Each solo show the artist assists our Gallery Manager in how they want their work presented.

In the last ten years LYS has displayed over 100 artists’ work while hosting 144 shows, and we’ve showcased work at 24 venues across 6 states.

In 2018 LYS created a community gallery to host fellow community artists from Lincoln and the surrounding areas. Their work is shown alongside artists working at LYS. Community artists are also invited to give a short artist lecture or workshop related to their process. All artist lectures, workshops, and art shows are always free and open to the public.

***LYS will be resuming show April 1, 2022. We can’t wait to see you!***
