LCA's events connect our community while offering rich artistic and cultural experiences.

Join us Friday, June 6 from 5-8 PM (Central) for the opening celebration of the Lindsey O'Brien Kesling Wishing Tree Foundation Young Artists Expo (LOK YAE) showcase at Lubeznik Center for the Arts!

The evening’s free, family-friendly program will begin at 5 PM with an artist meet and greet, followed by a presentation at 6 PM (Central). Attendees can browse the exhibition of student artwork and even purchase artwork created by these talented young artists. Light refreshments and a cash bar will be available throughout the event.

This exhibition is a showcase of talented youth ages 7 through 18 in all media. The LOK YAE represents artists from LCA’s partnerships with numerous community and regional school partners. The artwork, chosen through individual portfolio review, is an impressive display of the extraordinarily talented youth from across the region.

LCA Artmaker members, spend the day seeing the art of DC Langley, hosted by his daughter Judi at the home and garden he and his wife, Joan, built in 1968. DC was a prolific artist, choosing watercolor to render what he observed for over 40 years along the southern shores of Lake Michigan, and a long-time participant in the Lubeznik Arts Festival. Light refreshments and wine will be served. This event is exclusively for LCA donors.

LCA Artmaker members, enjoy a "Summer in Kyoto" experience in the home of kintsugi instructor and ceramic artist Sharon Meyers and her husband, Kevin Yost, in their intentionally designed property using Japanese design principles and a reduce, reuse, recycle approach to creating the space. Savor Japanese-inspired drinks, appetizers and desserts Sharon learned to make while studying in Kyoto last year, along with a chef demo of a Japanese dish you can then make at home. This event is exclusively for LCA donors.

Please join us for a special afternoon at the home of Anneke and Jan Dekker. Long time area residents, the Dekkers built a new home five years ago into the natural landscape at Tryon Farms. Using nature as their inspiration for both the architecture and the interior, their home is an elegant fusion of natural materials, colors and furnishings. The icing on the cake is their art collection, mostly from Africa where they lived for many years, and Anneke’s own magnificent artworks in many mediums.

Please RSVP to Nicole at nguenin@lubeznikcenter.org.
