There are always so many…read moretruly fun activities, and both my child and I enjoy experiencing and learning new ways to make art. If you attend a community event, be sure to also check out the exhibits or follow The Lux online--they feature some truly powerful artwork that's absolutely worth seeing. I also love learning about their artists-in-residence and really appreciate their commitment to diversity and inclusion. A friend gifted my young son a pottery class, and he absolutely loved it. I'd love to attend more classes or the day camps, but they are a bit pricier than other options, so we haven't yet. The Lux truly has a heart for engaging children in the arts. If you're able, please support The Lux! It's such a wonderful, colorful, fun gem for everyone and offers classes in a variety of art mediums, including pottery, drawing, painting, printmaking, jewelry making and more.

Did not take me seriously. Came to their store early June 2013, on a Tuesday. I ask them if they…read morecan make an aircraft for my cousin in the military that was getting stationed in California. They told me, they can do it and will call me on a Friday when the sketch was done. They called me two weeks later. I went over to see the sketches and they were fine. I just wanted the plane a little bit bigger, so they told me they will call me once the final sketch is done. They never called me back. Last week,'I called them to see what was going on, they said "o, we had bigger projects that came up, so we weren't able to finish your order." I calmly and politely said. "OK, please let me know when it's ready for me to see." It is now September 2! Really?! So, my order was so insignificant, small, unimportant, that they can't even bother to call me, to tell me! Don't make me wait. Don't tell me you can do it, if you really can't! Because my order is smaller than your other orders, doesn't mean you can set it aside, and I'll wait for months! Unbelievable! O by the way, this order was a gift for a lieutenant colonel in the United States Air Force, someone who has risk his life over and over for your freedom, so you can be free to make art stained glass! Just keep that it mind.

We were greeted by the attendant who explained that Kiechel features local and regional artists on the two floors that are open to the public. An extensive collection of Thomas Hart Benson drawings were featured on the second floor showcasing his talent outside of the murals that I was more familiar with. The main floor walls represented local artists. Parking in downtown Lincoln is a challenge, and once you find a spot you then deal with the parking meter. We downloaded the parking app and reserved our space for an hour. We spent the first 15 minutes trying to find the building and resorted to asking a clerk at the optical shop. Kiechel has been operating since 1986 but lacks signage and the building number is difficult to see from any distance. The gallery is worth a stop, but you too may have difficulty finding this little gem among the buildings and traffic in downtown Lincoln. I would recommend downloading the parking app before heading to the capital city.
