LCCC Open to the Public June 1

UPDATE 5/24/2020

If all goes according to plan, and no changes are made to the governor’s guidelines, the LCCC will re-open to the public on Monday, June 1. The PJ Chessman Gallery, Lincoln City Visitor Information Center and LCCC Members Gift Shop will be open, with social distancing protocols in place, from 9 am to 5 pm Wednesday-Monday. These hours will be in effect through the month of June.

The LCCC is a mask-required facility, until further notice. Be sure to bring your cloth mask and wear it proudly! For more information, call the center at 541-994-9994.

UPDATE 4/14/2020

The people of Lincoln City may be staying apart, physically. But culturally, they’re coming together, through the Creative Quarantine Project. Since March 26, we’ve been playing music, reading poetry and creating lots of art, online and in socially distant ways, courtesy of the Lincoln City Cultural Center.

Like the rest of the public gathering spaces in Oregon, the LCCC closed its doors on March 17 in accordance with the governor’s executive orders. Until it’s safe to open, the LCCC staff is dedicated to keeping the cultural community together, through the Creative Quarantine Project.

The LCCC’s Creative Quarantine is a daily dose of art, by our community and for our community, free and accessible for everyone, digitally or from a safe distance. Here’s what that means:

  • Every Thursday at 1 pm, visual arts director Krista Eddy distributes Creative Quarantine children’s art packets in the LCCC parking lot, 540 NE Hwy. 101. These kits are packed in sanitized rooms using gloves and masks, and are distributed in a drive-through. CQ art projects using common household objects are also available online on Facebook (@lincolncityculture)and in the Oregon Coast TODAY. The demonstration video is posted on Thursdays. Young artists are invited to post photos of their work on the FB page, #showoffsaturday.
  • Every other day of the week (Friday through Wednesday) the LCCC presents a brand new CQ Studio program. These events include live exclusive concerts, readings, craft demonstrations and studio tours — all made by and for the Cultural Center community. t

The LCCC is dedicated to providing these daily programs through the end of May, and beyond if necessary. You’ll find these events and activities on the center’s Facebook page, @lincolncityculture.

The Cultural Center welcomes the community to participate. If you would like to provide a project, donation, idea or other contribution, send a message through the Facebook page or contact Niki Price, 541-921-2006 or lcccdirector@gmail.com.
