Their unique model ensures that artists receive 80% to 90% of the proceeds from their sales. Currently, the gallery features an impressive collection of over 2,500 art pieces.
Among the local featured artists are Rita Sharp, owner and publisher of the Lucas-Sylvan News, Kathy Lupfer-Nielsen of Denmark, Luann Lonberger of Lincoln, Trent Dickerman of Lincoln, Jessica Rudolph of Sylvan Grove and former Lincoln resident Janell Flores, now residing in Ellsworth.
