People from all walks of life got together on Sunday to celebrate local artists and craftspeople that make University Place unique.
Emerge LNK: Mural and Street Art Festival was a collaborative effort by the Lux Center for the Arts, Uni Place Creative District and Nebraska Wesleyan University.
The goal was to bring together the artists and the community who share the spaces in the area on N 48th Street.
The focus of this years street fest highlighted the creative district’s roots in the larger Lincoln community.
The event boasted a maker’s market, music, food and three new murals, which were painted in the week leading up the event.
One of the mural sites, located on the west wall of Mo Java Cafe, wasn’t quite prepped for its artist’s arrival, though.
Margaret Kops Kuveke of Ithaca, N.Y., was supposed to create her mural at this site.
Instead, she worked on the wall of a different building, located nearby her designated site, and made it fun for those at the festival.
Kops Kuveke outlined drawings of flowers and other designs and invited community members to join her in painting.
