The LUX provides outstanding arts opportunities to Lincoln’s children and youth. Evidence shows that children who have access to arts education have higher grade point averages, do better on standardized tests and have lower drop out rates. Last year, the Lux expanded their outreach program to 650 students in low-income, diverse neighborhoods where arts and the advantages of art education are needed most. 450 of those students also received free art supplies to take home. In total, their outreach program reaches 1200-1700 children annually. They serve an additional 2000 students in our classes at the LUX Center. Last year, they reached nearly 15,000 people in Lincoln through education, exhibitions and community events.
