2012 Art and Balloon Festival
Wrapping it up for another year.....
Artists recognized at Lincoln’s 39th annual Art Fair
At the 39th year of the event that started it all, Lincoln’s Art Fair, crowds filled the park
from early to late both Saturday and Sunday. Even to people who come to the popular event
each year, with 80 artists and 18 of those new, there was a lot to take in. The art was diverse in
mediums, with themes ranging from fun and fresh to sedate, sophisticated or even intriguing;
such as hand-blown glassworks with phosphorescence that glows after the lights go out.
Pictured with the following artists who received special recognition are Sonnie Alexander and
Brileigh Sarnes.

First place -- John Madison for his
painting
Second place -- Alice Jaeger-Ashland
and her printmaking
Third place -- John Stoeckley for his
pen, ink and watercolor
Janet Harris Memorial -- Carmel
and Michael Schramm Jewelry
Best of Show -- Bob Holloway, a
perennial favorite, not only for his
fanciful, historical pen, ink and
watercolor creations, but as much for
his warm personality.
Best New Artist -- Kathryne Martin,
a photography exhibitor in her first
season
Overwhelmed, Martin transitioned
from surprise at being recognized for
her work, to joy and tears ...
... to finding it hard to believe she
actually got money for it too, and
finally just plain happiness.
