A New Home for the Clay Arts

The Lincoln Clay Arts Center (LCAC), in partnership with the City of Lincoln, is transforming the historic Carnegie Library into a vibrant community hub for the ceramic arts. LCAC is dedicated to empowering artists of all skill levels, with a focus on serving through partnerships with schools, nonprofits, and civic organizations.

What We Offer

• State-of-the-Art Workshop: Fully equipped for creators at every level.

• Classes & Workshops: Beginner to advanced instruction.

• Main-Level Artist Studios: Dedicated creative spaces for resident artists.

• Exhibition Gallery: Showcasing works by resident and featured artists.

Honoring Our History, Building Our Future

The Carnegie Library has been a cornerstone of Lincoln's civic and cultural life for over a century. Closed in 2011, repurposing this beloved landmark has been a priority for our community.

Looking ahead, plans for an adjacent Outdoor Art Park will feature:

• Large-scale public art sculptures

• Historic Gladding, McBean terra-cotta artifacts

• Gathering spaces for community and private events
