ART
The 3rd Annual Lincoln City Summer Art Festival returns with 65 local Pacific Northwest artists
bringing original and creative works to Lincoln City. Festival favorites are returning including
award winning Chainsaw Artist James Lukinich and bakery treats from sponsor SeaGals of
Lincoln City. Collectors and shoppers will find unique and original pieces of fused glass, stained
glass, pottery, sculpture, fiber art, acrylic, oil and watercolor art, metal art, driftwood art, jewelry,
photography and so much more! In addition to the festival, the Cultural Center will be open for
visitors to view artworks in the Chessman Gallery, the Fibre Art Studio and the downstairs artist
studios.
MUSIC
On Friday there will be live music both on the lawn and the plaza. Local musician and guitar
teacher Richard Paris will be on the north lawn performing favorite acoustic guitar selections
from noon to 2:30pm. Then crowd pleasing full band Bret Lucich and the Headturners get the
dance music rolling on the Plaza from 3-5:30pm.
On Saturday, Bret Lucich returns to the lawn stage for a solo acoustic show from 10:30am –
1p. Bret can play many instruments and genres so expect to be entertained and captivated!
Then stick around for a HUGE treat! The Soul Proprietors will be rocking the Plaza from 1 pm
to 3:30pm. This well known local group brings the funk and gets the crowd dancing with tight
rhythms, silky vocals and robust horns playing classic Motown covers by legends like Aretha
Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Tower of Power and Earth Wind and Fire. You’ve heard them at
Beachcrest and now at the Art Festival! There is a reason these musicians are fan favorites
all locals and all good. Don’t miss this opportunity to dance to the music!
